OFFICIAL B&B SECRET SANTA 2021! THE BIG REVEAL! - The Bear and Badger

This also means we've had nearly everyone now, right? Just Questor & Wookie to go?? Or was Davy still too, I'm getting muddled again ...

I'm still waiting as well but if it's coming via ups, I think the ireland branch is really struggling with covid outbreaks keeping staff out. We are still waiting for our staff gift cards.

Wookie's post in the Omi thread made me twitch so I went to look behind my bins just now and, yep, a third secret Santa present! Presuming it's been there since before xmas so well done postie for hiding it so well but also c'mon postie what happened to leaving a card letting me know? Probably also my fault for not checking since I've been back.

The packaging may be rain soaked and looking a bit soggy, but the contents of tasty cans from Beer Hawk are in perfect condition. That's three Santa's for me this year! Thanks Santa, and sorry I kept missing the drop offs! Will post pics of the empties later.

I've eaten cheese from Wookie Hole.

Most people in Cheddar know to not buy Cheddar in Cheddar. The shop in the Gorge relies on holiday trade.

Same with cider, where not many locals buy Thatchers. This is a face you can trust (so long as you stand back if it's operating machinery)... http://wilkinscider.com/

Very tempted to give him a bell one teatime and order a flagon.

Call him a fat cow and hang up?

I looked behind me bins after nmd's post. Empty packets of crisps and Kola champagne cans. Pesky fucking kids

FranticPea

That was your main gift, you ungrateful bugger!

Armitage_Shankburn

Kola Champagne is my fave, this can was empty but I went 50 yards down the road to the offie and got a can thanks Santa.

Armitage_Shankburn

Anybody see her off the squad trying irn bru, and saying it tastes like kola champagne from her gaff, I was like "listen love, we had both irn bru and Kola champagne in London back in 1993, you're embarrassing yourself love"

Sorry for posting so late, I opened my box from Santa on Christmas morning and then had to jump in the car and leave it behind for a while.

Lots of images ahead, because this was a box of MANY THINGS.

My Santa was never going to be very secret, given the postmark from Taiwan.

Okay, LET’S GO!

A Taiwanese flag pin badge. Excellent start!

A pack of cards from Xpark. I did a Google. Xpark is an amazing-looking themed aquarium. And the cards all have fish-themed constellations on them. Cute!

Branded polypockets. One with Monster Boy! The other for a baseball team. But wait, there’s something inside …

Cyberpunk gang patches! These are cool.

Onwards! There are MORE THINGS.

This is strange but cool. Google had to help me here, but this is a Pokémon game card for playing an arcade machine which we don’t have in the UK. You collect the plastic cards and scan them at the arcade to unleash your collected Pokémon. Oooh. Swanky.

More Pokéthings!

A trading card. In a protective case. On a fancy stand for display. But which Pokémon could it be?

Pika!

Okay, THERE’S MORE.

Chinese Pro Baseball League trading cards. Funky. Cool designs and photos.

I wonder if there are any jokers in the pack.

I got a cheerleader card! Does it get any better? (Oh yes it does …)

Because I also got a SIGNED cheerleader card! OMG.

Onwards, to the big hitters. (See what I did there? Segue from baseball to big hitters? No? Okay then.)

Wow. Genuine Sega arcade token. This is a very cool thing. A little Sonic coin.

But finally …

A plastic model kit of a Saturn! That is amazing. What a thing. Wow.

I genuinely feel like I have a haul of geeky tourist swag from a whistle-stop trip to Taiwan. What an awesome piece of Santa-ing.

Thank you to our very own Taiwan Correspondent. A job well and truly smashed out of the park.

Now I want to go to Taiwan. Thanks a bunch.

I'm HOME!!
Just popped off to the local post office and home with a HUGE box.

The girl in the post office couldn't find it until she realised "oh... YOU'RE MR PANTS!!"

It was addressed to W.N.Pants lol.

I'll be opening once the kids are in bed. Can't wait!!

This year has been outrageous. Well done to all. Some incredible Santas.

poprock

It’s a vintage year, for sure.

MattyJ

Absolutely, top work badgers

Wookienopants

You guys are all awesome.
Is it just Questor who is waiting on his gift?

g.man

Questor and RedDave2 iirc.

Gremill

Outstanding gifts on this page - I suspect Mr B.H. Day was involved in Wookies. Who else would have access to FH2 merch?

Howdy, Stranger!
