This is the official 2015 secret Santa thread.
The deadline to register will be midnight est Friday November 20th. Late entry's will not be accepted. There will be no exceptions.
Here is how you participate, please read carefully.
1. Post within this thread that you are participating. After posting in this thread saying you will enter please private message me. I will need The following
-name
-address
-domestic or international( will you ship across the pond, or just within the states)
Please remember that it's important we have at least a couple members who ship internationally. We do not want members left out.
Remember that all info must be sent to me by midnight est Friday November 20th.
If you sent me the required info by the deadline I will send a address to you between November 21st an November 25th. For any reason if you do not get a pm by the 26th from me let me know. The address you get is the address you ship your gift to. Your secret Santa will be randomly picked.
2. When you get your participants address/name keep in mind it's a secret. You get to choose the gift. There is no deffinitve value that gifts have to be, but I recommend under 25 dollars excluding shipping. The gift can be new, used, or even hand made. We only ask that the gift be tool related.
3. Do your very best to send your gift before December 12 in case any delays. Mark the package with tool talk secret Santa so the reciepent knows what it is an not to open it before Christmas. Put your tool talk username inside the package so the recipient knows who to thank. Once your gift is sent please send me a message saying you sent your package. If you do not send me a message by December 12th saying your gift is sent I will annoy you via pm.
4. Once you receive your gift please send me a pm so I know an an check it off. If you do not send me a note i will be sending messages like crazy to your Santa.

Opened my SS box, and found a set of Dewalt drill bits, the gold ones, plus some spares in the tiny sizes that are so easy to snap. Don't think any of my sets have much left below 3/16 in size. Plus there was one of the new LED flashlights, with a handy accessory built integral to it, a bottle opener! Now where did I see a bottle that needs an opener,,,, ah yes. thank you Neil.

Opened my Secret Santa box to find a nice Irwin perfect handle style screwdriver ready for rescaling and a little repair to the business end.

Sounds like you guys got some great stuff! I planned to join in but I am not on this forum much and was too late. Maybe next year.

Here's my Secret Santa gift.
A nice set of drill bits for a hand brace. These will go nicely in my Bit & Brace collection
A few DOE Craftsman metric wrenches. Added to some I already had, makes a full set.
And last but not least - a really nice double alligator.

I just got back from a weekend with the Grand Kids and opened up my gift. Thanks Papaw for the Tool Talk hat, bumper sticker, magnet and miniature plane ear rings. Now I either have to get my ears pierced, give them to my wife or put them in my miniature collection. Pictures to follow.
