Shipping was alone was probably more than what some people out there spent.


Thanks a lot fam, much appreciated.

This guy got robbed, and still gave up that much money and time for NT SS. Incredible.

If my Santa is lurking, get me JAY-Z Vinyls.

I mean the dude loved the gift, I used the questionnaire. He was happy.


So why does it matter that i didn't spend $25?

If a $15 dollar gift card was the best he could do then why flame him for it?


Isn't it better than nothing? I understand the hate for deadbeats, but how is sending a 15 dollar gift card being a deadbeat?


Bruh I've gotten 10 dollar gift cards from family before...


I even got a 25 dollar gift card to Pier 1 Imports this year. what am I gonna do with it? Everything in that expensive store is like 400 dollars. But am I complaining? No. I was happy. It's a nice gift, may not fit my needs but I'm goin to go buy a nice coffee mug and thank my relative for the kindness.


Point is, we make the best of what were given. As long as santas sent something (other than a bag of chips) they ain't deadbeats


Are they all creative or generous? Maybe not, but if they genuinely couldn't do anymore then why are we kickin them while they are already down?


I hate deadbeats just as much as you do steezy, I really do. But a 15 dollar gift card to iTunes isn't a horrible gift. That's the equivalent of buying someone a nice blu ray like some people did.

THIS


... at these people arguing about spending limits and not getting what they wanted off their questionnaires imagine you're like one of us who sent out gifts and still got a DEADBEAT shame on you!!! JUST BE GRATEFUL BOTTOM LINE... to me it's not too big of an issue I'm just glad my elf loved what he got.

lol im sure you would be disappointed if you got a simple $15 giftcard or a beanie or a magic card book/size small gloves/bracelet.

Not everyone who participated in NTSS are like you who dont give a crap if they received a gift or not. The most exciting part of SS is filling out the questionairre and not knowing exactly what you're going to receive. If NTSS is about giving presents that cost at least $25 to random NTers and not receive anything in return, then NO ONE is going to participate. This isn't toys for tots or some hurricane sandy charity.

Like I said "IT'S NOT TOO BIG OF AN ISSUE" but I didn't say I wasn't disappointed that my SS hasn't pulled through yet (giving him till the end of the week) but a simple gift at most should be appreciated no matter what it was... you got to look at it this way don't be so closed minded ...it was the effort that the person took time to go and MAIL something to a complete stranger...I don't know you personally and likewise...I understand where you are coming from and I know what is expected participating in these "FUN SS" but come on SOMETHING IS BETTER THAN NOTHING!

you're telling me you would honestly be satisfied if you received the magic card book and size small gloves?

im trying to back up ppl like you who did not receive gifts or got crappy gifts that wasn't worth sending.

If i received a $15 itunes giftcard...yes...i would honestly be disappointed. This isn't a gift from someone I know on a personal level. This is NTSS. What people expect from participating in SS is to receive a nice thoughtful gift. How are you going to tell me to stop being closed minded and then say 'it was the effort that the person took time to go and MAIL something to a complete stranger'. I hope you get a bag of doritos in a box and you BETTER be satisfied with that crap. I don't wanna hear one complaint if you got a wack gift, because according to your logic, half a penny in a box is a thoughtful gift.

Cant believe the logic of some of you guys trying to defend those who sent terrible gifts. A terrible gift is a terrible gift. Simple as that.

Rufio is too far kind and he was way too generous. Props to him!

I'm not expecting everyone to send a gift like what rufio gave or send lebrons south beach 7s, because those gifts are amazing.

If someone wrote in their quetsionnaire that they are a 49ers fan, then a simple  49ers t-shirt and a cap is nice thoughtful gift.

I remember the first NTSS and I wrote that I'm a huge knick fan. I received a knicks beanie and knicks orange tube socks. I wasn't too excited about it since it's not my style and I wouldnt wear it out in public, but I appreciated the gifts and thanked my santa. It was a thoughtful gift relating to my answers in the questionaire.

Will be watching Ninja Turtles all night

THANK YOU  ooIRON MANoo  !!!
