We have contacted all the potential grinches and are awaiting replies. We will open up the grinch check mid January for those matched with people we have not heard from. Then second priority to those who have received shitty gifts.

Remember if you are wanting to send gifts to grinched gulls, please let us know as well!

If you are having any issues with your gift received please also contact me or Helper Gull.

Regarding the Belgian gull/ Karl situation. I believe Karl had good intentions as he did spend over $100 on a $40 match, he just missed the mark.

I have emailed them both and will try to work out the situation from here.

There's a special place in my heart for central and south american chocolate. I remember first trying them after watching Chocolat, and got kinda hooked on all kinds, whether milky, malty, or pure cocoa. (I finished off a can of MILO recently!) You don't have to spend any more money on me, I think I'll try some of my local import shops!
I had a great holiday season thanks to sweet gulls like you, and hope you did too.
P.S. I wore the socks to run errands today, and they're the best!

Thank you so very much UK anon, your gift was so beautiful! As soon as I opened the package, the wrapping caught my eye. The presentation was gorgeous. Your homemade card was very sweet, and the little ornament hanging is super cool. The message inside was very kind, and it’s no problem at that you included the button, it’s super cute!

The gloves are perfect, since mine wore out the end of the season, and I stuck the ice cream pin on my sweater for tomorrow.

Not pictured is the lovely soap, I actually used it almost immediately in a bath and it’s as just wonderful.

Thank you very much for all the thought and effort with the gift. All the best for the new year!

I disagree, Uncle T immediately knew he fucked up and didn't try to pin the blame on the giftee because "all her reference pics had bows !", and he went above and beyond to fix his mistake.

I don't think Karl should be blacklisted, but I don't think he should be whitelisted either. I've had some kinda meh gifts from past SS and White Day exchanges where I could see that my gifter had tried their best, but there's "just wanting to be nice" and then there's this shit.

What I really don’t get is why he didn’t just ask for help? There’s the lolita general or even the stupid questions thread. Or even the Secret Santa threads. It take minimal effort to be like “Hey, I have no experience with J-fash but I really want to get my giftee something lolita-related - where can i start?”

This combined with the fact that he tried to throw Belgian anon under the bus for “being obsessed with bows” I’m honestly super put off. Uncle Travis didn’t try to blame his giftees for his mistakes like Karl did.

Dear KS from NZ, thank you so much! Your gift was very much appreciated, and you really spoiled me!
The shirt is a perfect fit with some extra room to make it comfy, and I’m wearing it today! Not sure how you did it, but you managed to pick the two Funassyi x Kapibarasan plush that I didn’t have yet, so that’s awesome. The PTE stuff is very much appreciated, as I wasn’t expecting to get any as it can be hard to find! Finally the dress is lovely, you mentioned in the card that you hope it suits my tastes, and it definitely does. I already have a coordinate for it planned, including some Meta socks that match it perfectly. I read your card first, and couldn’t believe there was a main piece in that box- your packing skills are top-tier. Thank you very much again!

I couldn't really ask to be matched within Belgium, I'm the only Belgian to enter haha!

I did ask to be matched within Europe, but I meant that more in a way to make the shipping not too expensive both for me and for my gift sender.

And I clicked to be matched with 'other people in my hobby', but in my form I have both lolita and cosplay and so really it is not weird to me to be matched with someone more into cosplay than lolita.

It is just really weird how it ended up being 20 bows when Karl himself asked me in other thread if cosplay stuff was ok...

please stop namefagging, it's also very much not in tune with board culture. at this point I'd say it's almost worse than emoticons - the whole point of 4chan is that your identity does not matter, everyone is anonymous. if your comment is directly related to the situation then it's understandable but just randomly prancing around everywhere with a name is frowned upon generally

>>10068828
you can't be too picky, especially in a small country. no shit you won't be matched according to your preferences if you want a gift in your country only from someone with exactly your interests, bonus points for going really high tier, requiring whitelisting and then sperging out on the thread later because 'this organiser sucks and I'm never joining again!!'

Honestly this is all getting really confusing for me!

Some people tell me 'no emoticons', then others say 'they are fine go ahead don't mind those people saying no emoticons'

then someone says 'please do use emoticons so I can recognize it is really you' and I think 'ok I have been told no emoticons but I will just use Belgian gull as my namethen so you can still know its me' and now that is a no no.

(Also this is really the only thread I have even used the name and even post in, so I'm really not prancing around everywhere...)

I'm trying to get the hang of the rules and board culture but please understand that its really hard when everyone is really saying the opposite!

so ok no emoticons and no name using, all anonymous, then do I have to go 'this is Belgian gull' in really all my posts? That would be really the same as using the name instead of Anonymous?? I'm just confused sorry

I will go read the rules page or something, I admit I haven't done that yet

She said that she lurked in the dream dress, room inspo and itabag threads, arguably some of the least salt infested (if you don't count the stupid ship/character hate drama at times in the latter)

honestly the fact you are literally getting your panties in a twist over someone being innocent and kind on cgl...

I don't think the poor girl has even been posting here for a while now? and seeing all this unnecessary salt has me thinking she's gone back to lurking

if you reading this Belgian girl you do you, there's literally nothing wrong with NOT being a salty bich

nayart but she gives of uwu gotis vibes. Nothing wrong with being kind, and I don't think it's that that's bothering people; someone that naive at twenty six is either a little slow or putting it on for attention. She should know not to use emojis and how to post anonymously effectively at this point, even just from lurking those threads.

> and seeing all this unnecessary salt has me thinking she's gone back to lurking
Arguably this is a good thing. Regardless of whether she's nice or not her posts have derailed several threads now. She needs to learn to post without it doing this.

I agree with you that after the first few 'corrections' she should have understood and adjusted her posting, it shouldn't have taken this long

however, the sheer rage she's been thrown is disproportionate to say the least, there's way nicer ways to educate than what anons have been saying, and to say that SHE has derailed SEVERAL threads now has me like??

it took the girl a lil too long to realize that cgl/4chan isn't like an 'avatar site' or fb but the derailing is 0 on her and 100% on the dramatic shitstirrers that continued bagging on it after she literally already stopped

also to stay on topic, I wonder if Karl has received his gift and is going to post it
you do need to do so to get on the whitelist Karl

I really wouldn't say I'm a super innocent baby haha, I work retail people!! But I am very much a calm and 'be the person you want to see in the world' person and I really don't find anything bad with that. I will always choose to stay polite and calm in a discussion even when people may find it funny to be mean on purpose cause they can stay anonymous

That said, I have already stopped using emoticons, and have thanked people for the teaching me that really three days ago already! All the posts after are to me like >>10071395 says people choosing themselves to keep talking about it, not me.

I have never meant to derail any thread. I do not need people to keep up things that I never meant to start, and then blame me for it dragging out. Which is what is really happening here in my opinion! I asked at the top of the thread for people to stop being mean about the situation with Karl, and they wouldn't. Then like I said I told people that I won't use emoticons or too many images anymore and thanks for the teaching, and now other people are still giving opinions about that even when I really stopped.

I will say that yes I have been really lurking instead of posting, I have not posted since my reply to the question what tier my gift was. Since then I saw the discussion was brought up again by other people wanting to drag it up again. But really, that talk is on those people and not me.

I want to keep this thread on topic, others seem to not, I don't think that is my fault and I will not take responsibility for them.

I hope everyone has had a good start of the new year, and that the people still waiting on gifts get them soon!

Hi C from NZ! I just opened your gift today, and wow, I don’t know where to begin! A pink explosion! Unwrapping everything felt like digging through a tresure box, and I was so pleasantly surprised. The wrapping paper you chose with the festive kiwis(?) were so cute that I felt a bit bad about ripping it lol.

But yeah, I never expected to get an almost entire outfit + cosmetic items + stationery + merch. You really put a lot of thought into these gifts, and it shows, and I love it all to pieces. For the clothing stuff, it’s like my wardrobe and these items were fated to be together or something. I actually just bought a pink Baby jacket recently whose colours match perfectly with the pieces you got me. Thank you especially for the blouse because I’m a wuss who only buys neutral coloured blouses; this could really help make for some more interesting coords.

For the stationery, cosmestics and snacks, I can’t wait to try them out! I forgot to take a picture, but the postcards you got me were lovely as well. I’m really curious about the popping candy chocolate.

Also you mentionned struggling with the anime related stuff, but don’t worry, you did great. I adore the keychains you got me. I know my husbandos merch can be a struggle to obtain since it’s both an older and somewhat obscure show.

All in all, thank you so much really. I hoped I managed to convey how good of a job you did and how much I appreciate the presents you got me. I wish you a wonderful new year full of salt and auction wins~

I know NOTHING about lolita/j-fash - but fuck me if 30 minutes of googling/lurking in the board didn't net me enough information to send a half decent gift.

Also baffled as well but at the same time...this board is notorious as the only female dominated board on the site. Of course you're gonna get a bunch of absolutely clueless crossboarding uncles who fuck it up once in a while. JFC, over a hundred dollars absolutely wasted even, she could have gotten an actual secondhand piece or skirt with that money.

A future suggestion is that anyone not versed in the fashion and is trying to gift should be required or encouraged look at previous years' gift photos to get a better feel for what should be going into their package.

If you look at this thread, it's not even about brand or dresses but about putting research & care into your giftee and having it compliment their personality...which is what makes this event so special.

I finally received my gift, and oh my god. I am not a person of many words, or a very sensitive one, but I actually cried and gasped when opening everything. I felt like a little kid again. I think it's the best gift I've ever received from anyone. Seriously, thank you so much NS.

I was pressed for time when opening it, and was actually late for work (I am getting paid to write this :^) just because of the time it took to get everything out and to appreciate it. I still need to try it all on so I am excited for when I return.

I am so grateful for your generosity and the thought that went into this. I'd also like to thank your sister for all the skincare goodies that you included. I definitely need to up my skincare game (I have been slacking recently) and I think this will help me get back on track!

At least this girl got 40$ to spend on cute stuff for herself. It's not a personalized gift, not like she'll really get to display the card, but the added cash is something funny and makes up for the childlike card effort.

Even if this isn't Karl samefagging its still cringe
((but I do think this is Karl also OR a friend of his trying to help or sth))

Karl I must say I don't think anyone that failed at ss like you has handled it this badly/shamefully, and its only making this worse for you. At least Travis owned up to his mistakes. If this is really you samefagging or enlisting the help of other crossboarders in an attempt to make yourself look better?? Just stop.

If its someone else who has a goal of actually making Karl look bad with this? Bit of a reach maybe but this event has seen its fair share of drama starters since the whole thing started so I also say to you just stop.

I'll reiterate that I know I screwed up but all the same I really don't want to keep derailing the thread with endless apology posts.

pity you you dried up roach if you think of genuine compassion as cringe
man has obviously fucked up and justed but based on both gifts it's obvious his intentions were good
if you can't fathom that gull seeing all the drama as undeserving and that money reply is pure shitposting you are autistic

does this mean what I think it means or am I seeing/reading this wrong???

cause to me its like you (Karl) are posting a screenshot to prove you're not samefagging as non-santa gull and yourself, but the screenshot you posted actually does show (you) as that non-santa gull post???

also what >>10075461 says??? and um the posts do read very childishly roleplay-y so to speak

Think he's saying he's Karl and messed up but accidentally said "none" when he means "I'm not the gull defending me." It's still poor wording that doesn't help but I think it's a genuine mistype.

oh yup I get it now, it was super confusing to me to think someone would post a screenshot with an obvious (you) in there and then say 'none of these are me' like you can't be that stupid???

I knew being nice on cgl was probably a bad idea, but jeez girls, there's no reason for that much hate about a simple comment. you're really living up to the boards bad rep though.

random nice gull over and out. i don't think this thread is salvageable anymore. sorry, op.

It's ID 9518 here! We've finally managed to find ourselfs with your christmas elves, my Santa (KD#5695, I believe?)! I still confused about language I should address you since the package was domestic, though message inside gift was in English... It's so much mistery~ haha

First of all boxes I opened the bows one and when all of the bows popped up to me I was just "Wait. Wat. Is this actually happening?" I laught hard. They are cute though and match color with my dresses, I like them all and I'll try to use them in my casual outfits too! I was actually lack of proper hair accessories and you gave me some clues.

It was nice of you to put that board game as well. This year my friend who love board games come to my city, so I hope we will try it!
It's nice to have so much different things in gift,candles smell nice, starry things and crosses are cool! I feel like my holidays are went a little bit longer, thank you!

For the curious gulls, it is $30.00 - $40.00 USD tier.

This. I saw them and knew they were purposely placed there and were for attention. At this point, I'm feeling like he's really just enjoying all of the attention he gets whether it's good or bad.

>> No.10077678

>>10077659
ayrt and yeah I think the same. Regardless of the kind of attention he's after it really doesn't help his 'many apologies' for his awful gift.

That said the prolonged drama and how this entire situation has been stretched out over two threads by now by so many salty ppl is so tiresome.

Let's all just try to ignore him and get back on subject shall we?

A lot of people wanted to know what I got, and you can plainly see that from the replies right above me.

Is there any way to know if you got an international or national gifter? Mostly thinking the few people that have said they still haven't received a gift. Sorry if stupid question, just wondering?

I have emailed all of those who I suspect have been grinched of their gifts to confirm whether or not they have been received. The list is currently at 3 people which I am waiting to hear back from.

This does not include cards. Grinched cards I will automatically put you through for Grinch check as most of those whose cards are grinched were from those who also grinched gifts.

NS from Canada(8508), thank you so much for your card! I recognised your handwriting as soon as I saw the envelope & was really happy to hear from you again. Not sure if I said this last time, but I adore your taste in cute stationery- the birb stickers really made me smile!

Thanks also for the face mask, it was great getting to try a new brand that’s probably not sold in Aus! I hope you enjoyed the holidays this year & please say hi to your gecko on my behalf!
