7th Annual Thrift Thread Gift Exchange Unveiling

[thebuddahman]

Totally blown away by @Fashionablemale and his thriftmas gift! Came home to find this incredible box of goodies and a handwritten note. Thank you so much man. Even my wife was jealous (I deterred her from joining the forum you’ll all be pleased to know).

Dude bought me:
Peter Millar Merino Half Zip
Ben Silver shirt
Kakamura shirt
4 fun vintage tees
...and the dude buys me a brand new pair of tortoiseshell Ray Bans!

Thanks again man. I’m well chuffed!

Glad you like it and I'm assuming that "Well Chuffed" is a good thing?

We would also have accepted "proper chuffed," "right bloody chuffed," and "chuffed to bits."

I'm personally chuffed to bits with mine and all I've seen is the address on the outside of the box...

Mine went out today! My dude isn’t far so it’ll be there in a day or two. Thanks to Randomore for my stuff! Two Kamakura shirts that fit like a dream, Carroll and co cash jacket that also fits like a dream and a cash Zegna scarf

My gift recipient from last year became my Secret Santa this year. I’m so happy with my gifts - a huge thanks to @dadjeans

Along with a nice note he sent me a cool Beams jacket, some minty split toe derbies, two Malo cashmere sweaters and two great shirts (Gant and Sutor Mantelassi). And everything fits! With a bonus of a seriously good looking bottle of maple syrup, which I intend to use in a recipe for Christmas Day. I’m blown away really. Thank you

 

[dadjeans]

Apologies and thanks to @HansderHund. I opened all of his thoughtful and extraordinarily generous gifts in a pear schnapps-fueled orgy of greed (isn't that what Christmas is supposed to be all about?) about an hour after they arrived. This was two days ago and I still haven't been able to find time during daylight hours to photograph the stunning array of gifts which have brought me so much cheer! For now, let's just say I'm the luckiest recipient in this thread... Thank you, good sir!

I look forward to photographing everything and sharing it with you all soon.

Holy. Moly.

A package came today. Banana for scale.

EMS? Interesting. Let’s start unwrapping.

Japanese? Hmmm...

Lots of stuff, individually wrapped, with a card. Let’s see if the card holds any clues. Love the card already...

Aha! Our good buddy @Thrift Vader ! So cool. All the way from Japan. What’s inside?

Oh snap. I did mention that my kids would love some candy and stuff from an unusual place. So great! And so much variety.

Let’s keep digging...

Wow - fancy bow, nice wooden box, words of wisdom (I guess?). What’s in the box?

Tea cups! So awesome. I love tea. And coffee. Think I can use these for both.

What else?

Toy Yoda in original packaging from 2003, matching the card? Legit. Delicious sauce for food? Awesome. Marvel comics posted in original packaging? 10/10.

What else?

Oh ****! I’ve always wanted a Porter bag. This thing is fantastic. Will be perfect for the gym and travel.

And...

An awesome pocket square, bottle opener, and spidey/venom tote!

Wait, there was something inside the Porter bag...

What???? A really dope Swatch from 1993! I love old Swatches! How did you know?!

Overwhelmed! Feeling verklempt!

Here’s everything together, including a gorgeous linen Blue Blue Japan shirt, which fits perfectly.

Big, huge, large, gigantic THANK YOU to @Thrift Vader for his unbelievably over-the-top, generous, thoughtful, and fun gifts! My kids love everything as much as I do. Amazing!

Good ******* work Vader, that’s awesome!

 

[Shanejosephxxx]

Wow Vader putting most of us to shame!

 

[SpooPoker]

Damn @Thrift Vader

 

[CWOyaji]

Holy. Moly.

Japanese? Hmmm

That’s japanese curry and mapo tofu sauce right there, for deliciousness and variety. Damn!
And the tall skinny figurine with the flood pants and cigarette is Lupin the Third, a very witty classic manga & anime character. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lupin_the_Third

Well done Lord Vader!

 

[ClosetEvolution]
