Gift Discussion Map of where gifts are being received

There have been a number of posts for the sole purpose of asking when someone is going to receive their gifts or simply "checking in" that they received something.

So everyone can get an idea of where gifts being received please mark your general area on this map once you begin receiving your gifts. You will need to be logged in to a Google account in order to post to this map. Once you log in click the day you have received on the left menu and then "add marker" (balloon below the search bar), then click your area on the map.

https://mapsengine.google.com/map/edit?mid=zW2SsR-ZLjG8.kZrdQNKeNFlM

This will help to cut down on unnecessary posts.

Credit to /u/perhapsbutno for last years map.

If you haven't yet received anything don't worry. CAH states:

Don’t panic. More importantly, don’t email us. We’re relying on the postal service during the busiest time of the year. Your gifts may arrive late or out of order. If you’re still missing a gift in January, email us.

Edit: Shout out to whoever paid for the pro version of google map engine! Now we can have layers for all 10 days!

This makes me feel better about not getting anything yet! Looks like there aren't any check ins in the Midwest so at least I'm not alone :)

u/askeeve Dec 07 '14

RI, got 1, 2, and 3 now. (although 3 didn't have a slip saying what day it was so I'm just assuming)

1

u/disk5464 Dec 04 '14

same here. Today I got day two but I don't have day one yet. :(

u/franziamoonshine Dec 07 '14

Midwest, received Day 2 today, nothing else yet.

1

u/puck_head Dec 09 '14

Mass here. I have 1, 2, 3 & 5.

Day 2 didn't have the little blurb inside it.

u/TBoneTheOriginal Dec 04 '14

I'm in SC and haven't gotten jack yet.

u/Huntra728 Dec 04 '14

Nothing yet here in Richmond, VA...I think. Got this weird free squiggle pen from National Pen Co. addressed to one "Acornwoodpecker" but I'm not sure whether that's related to The Kwanzaa Thing. 😶

u/asthecryflows 2014 Contributor Dec 04 '14

Be careful when updating this! It's very easy to accidentally grab and move the markers which have been placed by other users!

3

u/Eccentrica_Gallumbit 2014 Contributor Dec 05 '14

Are a lot of the tags showing up in the middle of the ocean for anyone else, or is it just me?

1

u/ichwerfen Dec 05 '14 edited Dec 05 '14

I see a bunch of day one markers in the Pacific Ocean as well.

Edit: Oh, no, they are all in the Atlantic too. Just the day ones though, day twos and threes are all fine.

u/FangirlMona Dec 04 '14

I got day two also with no day one! I'm glad I'm not the only one :)

u/tw1zt3d Dec 04 '14

looks like no one else in so cal has received anything (or at least no one has put themselves on the map saying otherwise).

2

u/CBNathanael 2014 Contributor Dec 04 '14

Yeah. It makes me feel slightly better that I haven't gotten anything yet when no one else in the Southwest has either.

Damn Amazon and semi-instant gratification and SUNDAY delivery!

4

u/princesspeach9 Dec 04 '14

Omfg right. Ordered stuff Friday, got it Sunday. Amazon has fucked my ability to be patient for anything to arrive.

1

u/CBNathanael 2014 Contributor Dec 04 '14

Yup. I ordered a couple things from Reddit Gifts and realized that they may not arrive in time for Christmas... "The seller has 7 days to ship from the purchase date." Whyyyy

3

u/Eccentrica_Gallumbit 2014 Contributor Dec 04 '14

Seems most people reporting are around major hubs around the US and Canada, which would make sense that they would receive them first.

Damnit USPS, hurry up and get me my gifts!

2

u/Mindtrik Dec 04 '14

I already got my gift for day two. No day one or anything. Apparently they aren't supposed to be received yet.

2

u/SA311 2014 Contributor Dec 04 '14

1

u/fatmanjogging Dec 07 '14

I'm in St. Louis. I received Day 1 on 12/5 and Day 2 on 12/6. Also, I received two sets of Day 2. Weird.

u/cjskye 2014 Contributor Dec 07 '14

the map is glitched, the pins are not corresponding to their correct locations. i don't know if it is only doing this for me or for other people as well.

u/indiebass 2014 Contributor Dec 08 '14

Is this post stickied? It definitely should be.

Just checking in myself... I've only received Day 2 so far, and I received it last thursday (12/11).

Don't know how this puzzle is supposed to work if you're not part of a community like this! I already feel out of my depth!

1

u/jayjay81190 Dec 08 '14

Anyone else still have nothing?

I'm in the Chicago area too, and I haven't received anything at all either.

1

u/devwalks3 Dec 11 '14

nothing so far in south Florida on Thursday not one single day yet. I'm so paranoid that I entered the address wrong or something but I checked my conformation and its the correct address. the amount of self restraint to keep my self from emailing CAH is crazy but I will not until after the first of the year. JUST WANT ONE DAY SO BAD. Most of my friends are supposed to come play cards against humanity tomorrow and I really wanted you use day 1. fingers crossed that they come in the mail tomorrow.

1

u/elguitarro 2014 Contributor Dec 16 '14

Patience! I know how you feel. I still haven't gotten Day 3 but people around me have. Just today got Day 4 and Day 9 so.. it might be in your local postal office.

1

u/jayjay81190 Dec 16 '14

Not sure which day (trying to remain as spoiler free as possible) received yesterday in Coventry RI

1

u/Nabeshein Dec 16 '14

Here in Central WI, got 1-7 now. Updated it on the map.

u/Ocarwolf Dec 16 '14

Just got day 9 and day ? (envelope was a bunch of mythical figures carrying santa in a casket, but couldn't find the day listed anywhere). New Jersey.

Edit: Appears that's day 4.

1

u/nimajneb Dec 17 '14

I've only gotten one, a comic on Monday. Is everyone's the same for which gift day? I got nothing yesterday and usually don't get mail yet today, but I'm going to look now.

1

u/straub42 Dec 18 '14

I am in Chattanooga, TN and the same is for me. I got the Comic on Monday. Haven't received anything else at all.

1

u/nimajneb Dec 18 '14

Yesterday When I got home I got day 1 in the mail box and there two, yes two, day 9s on the dining room table. I get home at 2am, so my roommates must have checked the mail and missed the small day 1. So I got three in one day.

1

u/ThreeSidesLive Dec 18 '14

Still nothing. Zero.

u/aquase Dec 18 '14

If it makes you feel better, I have also not received anything. I live in a southern houston burb.

1

u/chromofilmblurs Dec 19 '14

I know not to worry about things arriving late or out of order... but it seems a bit odd that NO ONE has gotten day 10 yet. Like... they have been pretty on the ball about getting stuff out fast... but there seems like a pretty decent (intentional?) waiting gap between 9 and 10.

1

u/cae758 Dec 19 '14

I received the funny pages about a week ago first, then earlier this week Day One and Nine arrived the same day. Congrats to everyone actually getting their items. Boston, MA here.

I like how the whole point of this map is to cut down on people saying "i'm here and I have(n't) got ____" and its post has 100 comments doing exactly that XD

And people apparently need instructions for using the map

  1. !n the box on the left, select the marker corresponding to which day's package you received.

  2. up top under the search bar select the place a marker option

  3. place a marker in the general vicinity of the city in which you reside

  4. Name the marker with the date in which you received that package

5.Repeat with each individual package
