Breakfast Topic: Happy holidays from WoW.com

One thing I like to do every Christmas morning is to take a moment and send someone something in game -- someone who'll actually use it and be pleasantly surprised when they get it. I make an alt, name it something so they won't connect it to me -- and then email them a gift. I'll wrap up the BoE item with some Red Ribboned Wrapping Paper and toss in a Candy Cane or two just for kicks, even though no one is really into RP too much. But it adds to the overall ambiance so it's all good.
This year I think someone is getting a pet from the Argent Tournament. Hopefully someone will send me a bike (I can dream, right?). If you're going to send a secret gift to someone, what are you going to send?
Merry Christmas and happy holidays, everyone!

As a joke, send them coal.

Merry Christmas WoW.com
I'm giving my boyfriend a Tuxedo for RP purposes. But the nice thing about it was, that I asked in trade for someone to make it for me, not only did they make it, they made the part I couldn't afford, for free. Really appreciated that :)

If you're expecting a Chopper, make sure your druid engineer buddy knows your name isn't Steve.
Merry Christmas!

I got my hunter friend a Nesingwary 4000, complete with holiday wrapping =D

I sent my girlfriend a Leaping Hatchling, because she adores pets. I then had to beg in Orgrimmar for someone to cut my Skyflare Diamond because I had no money XD
I also bought myself an Argent Hippogryph with the Seals I've been saving for at least a month now, and a Faceplate of Thunderous Rampage (best item name in the game IMO) which I've been farming for for ages.
Oh, and someone sold me a ridiculously cut-price Titansteel Bar in the spirit of Christmas, which was nice too.
All in all, a great Winter's Veil!

I always send off some wrapped Green Holiday Shirts to friends/guildies along with a pet often for Christmas.

I made a guild outfit out of a Wizard Turban, Red Lumberjack Shirt, Tuxedo Shoes, and Tuxedo Pants and mailed it to all the officers all wrapped up.
The GM got an admiral hat.. of course...

I sent everyone pretty practical gifts, lol: Frostweave Bag and 5 Runescrolls of Fortitude.

A very merry Christmas to all of you at WoW.com, I hope your holiday is as joyous as mine is! I just wanted to express my appreciation for all the hard work through out the years, and providing us all with the latest and greatest in Azeroth, and also for allowing us to have opinions and discussions within the comments.

So here is to you guys, Merry Christmas, and have a happy New Year!!!

I got too excited to hand out my gifts, so my guildies got their hand-crafted red, green and blue stylish shirts early :P I'm glad they all liked them and wear them to our raids.
And in return my guild leader bought me Lil K.T.!!! I was so surprised. I never thought anyone liked me enough in game to spend real world cash on me :P

Merry Christmas one and all.
And here is the original Red Ryder Air Gun.

I'll be sending out some Icescale Leg Armor to a rogue that I've been using through out the year to guide me in leveling my own.
Oh, and a rant to Blizzard - Not being able to gift wrap stackable items is complete FAIL!!!
Firefoenix Dec 25th 2009 10:04AM
Agreed. I wanna be able to wrap coal.

I have a litter of White Kittens to send to my Hordeside buddies. I play in the middle of the night often so it's easier to catch Lil' Timmy when he spawns and hardly anyone else is around, and I pay someone off to help me transfer the kittens over to my Horde toons via the neutral AH.
I figure it's hard enough for Alliance to get these kitties, and nearly impossible for Horde unless they have a metric buttload of cash, so they make really nice gifts for my Horde friends. :)

A friend of mine is a druid and has a bit of a drinking problem (I wouldn't call it a problem, he's pretty much mastered it) so for Winter Veil I'm getting him an Ironfur Liver...

I went to Dire Maul to farm my mate the Orb of Deception. :)

Bought my nephew a Tundra Mammoth!

I've been trying to get my wife a Battered Hilt but didn't get one in time :(

My guild gave me the Crusader's Dragonscale Breastplate with three gems and a Powerful Stats enchant. To say I was speechless is an understatement. Everyone knew except me and the "ringleader" thought, at one point I had caught on by some off-the-cuff remark I'd made. I can't believe how well they kept this quiet.
Yeah, I have the best guild in WOW.
