The grand 2024 Secret Santa Showcase

[A Cat in a Minefield]

Ho Ho Ho,
Dear Farmers,

This thread is dedicated to all the presents you have made and received over the past couple of weeks.

We encourage you to post the present you received and your reaction to it. A big part of the enjoyment comes from seeing your present being posted here. An accompanying reaction makes this even better!

This year’s participation has been extraordinary, and we want to thank everybody for taking part in this year’s Secret Santa. We had a record of 250 people, which is an unbelievable amount. Running this event would not have been possible without the incredible help of the Spirit Bots; Thank you very much for dedicating your time and talent and for ensuring that everyone received a gift.

We hope you enjoy your present and please have a very merry Christmas and a great 2025!

Sincerely,
The Secret Santa Team

@TheCuntler , @XANA , @GenociderSyo , @DefinitelyNotMe So I've been sitting on this gift from one generous participant for the past couple of weeks, who made it for us Helpers who organised it. But really I think it's for everyone who took part and made this happen.

Thank you for this generous, touching (and slightly creepy) gift. You know who you are!

Speed running this because i got an extra gift from someone outside of the thread. It was so good i just wanted to share it anyway.

Going to end up embroidering this i love this little guy.

It appears that via some muppetry I know not what, the user @Fire Flight got themself banned. Very foolish of them because they missed out on receiving this lovely gift their Santa made for them. However, the creator should 100% not feel bad because firstly, I hope they had lots of fun making it, but secondly, so many others are still going to appreciate they lovely pic they made anyway. Taking it upon myself to post it as we can't deliver it to the original recipient to do so.

All I can say is that I feel warm just looking at it! Perfectly captures the Christmas spirit.



And who knows - maybe the original recipient can still see it here and enjoy it, too!

This Christmas a caring kiwi crafted a concept capturing a cozy camper considering the cosmos! Quite the collage!

Oh boy oh boy!

What? Can you request to know why?

I invited Fire Flight to participate in the Secret Santa event, sucks to see that their first time in this didn't resolve normally, but at least they can still see the gift they would have received.

Have all the gifts been delivered already?

I received this adorable illustration of Kirby taking a nap! Thank you to my lovely Secret Santa for this amazing gift. I'll cherish it deeply more than you'll ever know! Thank you so much for your kindness! <3

 

[Rabbits]

Isn't it magic how Santa knows exactly what you want?

Very appreciative of my gift I love getting a mashup of things I enjoy!!

 

[The President of Nintendo]

I feel so fortunate because I'm 2 for 2 years in a row with an amazing gift. This year I got a song with a bonus side of cat dox (@1:30)!

Thank you Secret Santa for this amazing gift I really enjoyed it (give your kitty a treat for me)! : )

I was given this lovely comic book which shines like a halo of light above the head of a saint. The effort is palpable, and the imagery as well as story inspired. Thank you secret santa, I appreciate this more than you'll ever know.

 

[Mister Baranavichy]

Look at what they've done to my special man:


They even got his cheeky little smile in the drawing - The Boy for reference:

Never in my life would I ever expect to have art of him, let alone so well done, when I get the chance I'll print it and place it next to him.

I am genuinely touched and I hope whoever you are you received a gift that brings you as much joy as this one has brought me.

 

[Overly Serious]

Someone - I don't know who - took the time to make this special gift for me personally.

What can I say other than I am very touched. He's gorgeous! I shall cherish this art and it will serve as a reminder for this event, too!


Thank you, Secret Santa!

 

[Let's find Crack]

I received a water color of a USMC unit in their blue dress uniforms. (Or perhaps civil war unionists animeified). Thank you, I'll be showing it off to all the fellow Kiwis I know personally.

 

[A Cat in a Minefield]

Thank you very much for this extremely cute Kiwi. It warms my heart and it'll serve as a reminder for this whole event. Merry Christmas to you too and may you and your family be blessed

 

[Stoner Miko]

Whoever did this, you seriously made my day.

I wasn't expecting anything, and have received everything; When I submitted my likes and dislikes, specifically my favorite Touhou characters, my coding hobby and my faith, I never expected to see them all together like this and it came out beautifully! And yes, the coding part is right. Thank you for this wonderful Christmas gift, Santa.

[Soycast Guy]

I didn’t receive one myself (or perhaps, not YET), but that’s alright to me. The best part is giving. I hope you all enjoy your gifts.
