#ywpdsecretsanta

The last of the gifts have been posted on the gift blog, finally! After days of having my arms rendered useless.

Anyway, congratulations to those who've done their gifts! Couldn't be more proud of these people for sparing time to give a stranger a gift to make them smile during the holidays.

To those who have not seen their presents on the blog yet, sadly, your Santa was not able to turn anything in, and that means we'll be assigning you to a backup. Kindly wait for a while and give time for backups to work on your gift!

Backup gifts will still be submitted on the ywpdssgifts page, so do wait for them to appear!

Big thanks to those who participated in the SS and for being patient and understanding! You guys did a great job for being thoughtful.

Alright! Just got back home from Christmas-y stuff and I'm submitting the gifts now! Head on to ywpdssgifts if you want to watch the progress!

Hello guys!

Before anything else, advance Merry Christmas to those guys whose timezones are early! Hope ya'll had a happy one!

There's a little time left according to this countdown so if there are people still trying to catch up with their gifts, please please please try to to submit!

If you feel you can't submit your gift anymore, please also tell me since that will require for me to look for backups!! If you need extensions, please message me also!!

With all that, I'll start reblogging/posting gifts on ywpdssgifts on the 25th-26th since I'm pretty busy with holiday stuff as well.

Hello!

Final reminder that you have approximately a day left to submit your gift!

Kindly follow this countdown for the time!

Hello!

Friendly reminder that you have approximately 10 (or 11 depending on timezone) days left 'til gift submission deadline!

Don't forget to read the gift submission guidelines before submitting! If you have any concern or questions, please don't hesitate to contact me via ask or submit!

Regarding messages, you may not get an answer as quick because tumblr doesn't notify me whenever I get messages. I think it's been glitching for a while since other people I know have been experiencing the same thing, but yeah just saying in case you don't receive a reply as fast. I'll still check though don't worry.

Hello! Here's a joint reminder thing again!

1) Submit Box

Just wanted to remind people to please open your submit box! Because if you haven't received a wishlist until now, that means

your submit box is not open

tumblr did its wonders and ate my message

I've actually sent people who don't have those open an ask so that they could open it, but there are some whose ask boxes are not even open. @_@

Again, kindly open your Submit box so I can send you the wishlist!

2) Special Shoutouts

itsfictiontime​ - Kindly open your askbox and/or submit box so I can communicate with you and send you your wishlist!!

@jadedpencilrequests - I noticed that you deactivated your account without telling me. If you're reading this, please notify me of your new URL/tumblr right away!

3) Tumblr URLs

I don't think I'm ever gonna stop reminding people about this, but please, please, please, please, please tell me when you're changing URLs. Some people have messaged me already that their person's URLs have been changed/deactivated, and whilst we've mostly found their person again through awesome teamwork and stalking, it would be less of a hassle to both myself and the person who's drawing for you if you simply just notified me if you're changing your URL.

Again, if you're changing your URL, please tell me for easier communication.

Hello!

Thanks a bunch for being patient with me! I've received at least 200+ people and again, WOW, that's quite a lot for me, but hey we'll make this work!

I'm in the middle of sending people their wishlists right now so please have your Submit box open! If you did not receive any message from me within 3 days from tomorrow, that means that your Submit box is still closed. Kindly send an ask including your Name and URL and indicate that you have not received your wish list and have opened your Submit box.

Why Submit box? Because some people's wish lists are long and won't be able to fit the ask box.

There is a post regarding Gift Submission Guidelines. Kindly read that first before everything else!

These are just a few things I'd like to remind people whilst doing the SS:

Have fun! You've been given prompts, specific favorites and such, but please only do something that you know you'll have fun with, as well as something you can put your most effort in! Please keep an open mind about what you will receive as well since everyone is in the same situation.

If you're too shy to ask your person questions to help you with your SS (even in Anon), kindly message me here so I can help you!

If you're changing your URL, please notify me!

Again, if you think you cannot participate in the Secret Santa anymore, kindly inform me as soon as possible so I can ask any one of the back ups for help. It's uncool to see people who worked hard on their gifts to not receive one back. Totes uncool man. :(

If you were not able to join, but want to help out as a backup, please message me!

Regarding backups, I'm still gonna send you all an individual message after I send everyone's wishlists. 

I'll be posting updates and reminders from time to time and if I get ambitious, I might send everyone a PM to remind you all about this when the deadline's nearing. That's if I get ambitious.
