    Well this one came anonymous so I don't know who to thank, but my SS got me a new T-shirt from a place pretty local to me! The brand is Dead Drift Fly Company which I had never heard of. The dark blue is a fantastic color, the shirt fits very well, and the intricacies of the design with the fly fisherman, the mountains, and the Buffalo are awesome! It fits right into my interests and I am a jeans/t-shirt guy for casual wear so this is perfect.

    They included a card with a discount code so I would be lying if I said I didn't already order another :spy:.

    Thanks again!

    I received this super awesome Patch in the mail! I didn't order it so I'm assuming it's from my TWSS. If so, thanks so much I love iit!! Been trying to step up my Patch game haha

    Edit : Found out this was not my TWSS, actually came from my Best friend who lives in TX. False alarm

    Im mobile so without counting them by hand idk, but we should be getting close to that number
    We've also been asking for people to Pm us tracking info if they have shipped, so the numbers should be less than 30 if you account those

    Maybe it's just me but it seems like some of these packages are skirting the $20 minimum. I know that the price of gifts isn't everything but I'd hope that in the future people who aren't in a position to meet the minimum choose not to enroll in TWSS. Call me a grinch if you want :anonymous::crapstorm:

    Agree with this to an extent.

    It definitely is a buzz kill when someone spends a lot of time and energy picking a gift for someone ($5, $50, or $500) and they receive it and their person is super stoked on it, and then they get their gift and it's something they can't use or something that has no obvious effort put into it. I think the biggest bummer isn't in the monetary value of what people get, but in the assumed lack of effort some are putting into their gifts, whether or not they're trying to hit the jackpot with someone else and walk away like a bandit, or not.

    Definitely not what TWSS was intended for, it's about giving - nobody should be concerned with what they get. If that was the reality of it, then everybody would be getting great gifts regardless of what the cost was because (a) they're a gift from a stranger and (b) hopefully they have some thought behind them which is more valuable than the price tag.

    All that aside, $20 minimum is what it is. If someone gets a $20 gift card and someone else gets a supercharger, that's how the cards fall.

    This.

    I had a good year, and I got someone who I feel deserves a little extra for his efforts around here so I chose to go a shade over the top and reward him as such. I can't guarantee that I will even be in the position to do that next year.

    As mentioned before... you put some thought into my gift and I am a happy camper (as I am this year). I'll probably wear that shirt enough that people start to make mention of how much I wear it. I refuse to play party to a virtual Internet points contest to see who can spend the most on a SS gift. I don't want people thinking they have to spend a ton of money, but I think that if someone is only playing along to hit the "lottery" they are in it for all the wrong reasons.
