Apparently, I have a box that was delivered and the wife got it this morning.
Mine should have arrived, or be there today. I need to pull tracking to double check.

I shipped mine out Tuesday to MI.
Mine arrived at the house yesterday.
Now I feel bad for my MI dude. Holy crap, I shouldve put so much more in. The package I received was nuts, so much stuff. Pics to come (we were pressed for time, had to go get my dad his prescription and some pedialyte - damn covid). But whoever sent mine blew me away with stuff. And I'll start a box this week for NEXT year's game.

bubble wrap is a good sign. But wait a minute, this is the kind that doesn't pop.
A big heavy wheel! Cleanup wipes, a math circle, what appear to be drum brake springs, and a fairly universal oil filter, sweet.
Oooh fancy clamp. Floor mat holders, that will provably find their way into the civic soon. A silicone feeling "scraper" and a plastic opener with a very old very cool looking magazine.
I couldn't get a good shot of the container, my lighting sucks, but it's probably the star of the box to me. It's a big, lightweight, 3d printed jar, with a screw on cap. But more than that, it had a second cap that's open so it could be a holder too. And it's emblazoned with the GRM logo. Awesome, seriously awesome. It made noise, so I dumped it out to find sockets. Now those of you that zoom in or Photoshop out the glare will notice this metric set goes from 9-11 mm. The 10 is already missing so I don't have to lose it!
So at first I thought it was just a broken belt, but belt SIZER, that's a useful tool to have. Customary stickers, a flasher relay, a mouse, the coolest little level ever, and some hot wheels.
At the end of the box, we find a motorcycle charger that looks like it never came out of the box, and a KYB bumpstop boot that was full of a great helping of hardware and small clamps. Score.
Thanks Gearheadotaku for the awesome box this year, and thanks Hungary Bill for keeping this tradition going another year.
The "Steel wheel" is the mass damper off the water pump of a C4 Corvette often refferrd to a the frisbee. The slicone scraper is for applying and smoothing caulk. The magazine was found on my friends house as we cleared a horde. Saw it and knew it was a great GRM box item.
I realized a few days after sending my box off that I omitted several things that have been pretty much staples in my boxes since I started doing this... once this place digs out from the near-blizzard that's hitting us now (nothing compared to what The Dancer's native Wisconsin is used to, but this is Kentucky and the mere threat of flurries closes schools) I may send a small 'booster' box with the items I left out.
A package has arrived from Richmond, CA. The opening ceremony is scheduled for this evening.
Am I doing this right?

Your vote does not count because calling it a crammit is stupid.
The likelihood of a nickname sticking is directly proportionate to the amount of dislike exhibited by the recipient.
I still vote for the Cramit.
I have received a package today.
I guess I better get finished packing and shipping my box before I get to opening the new one. Good thing I don't have any other plans for the weekend.
Got it open tonight
The kids liked the spring!
Also, the Caterham hot wheels and Lancia badge will go on the shelf. May even try out the "lightbowl"!

Cramit, in the trunk and inside a pillow fort. I mean, why not?

The box sent to me arrived. Pix & video to follow... I have been remiss in posting. And in getting my vict... er, recipient's box completed. I have a stash in the garage and a flat rate box from the Post Office with one layer in the bottom; should be filled & posted this weekend or NLT Monday.

I am glad they like the spring.. that's about the same reaction my two boys had when I got that spring last year. SWMBO bought the "light bowl" for our boys but couldn't bring herself to install it. The license plate was on my Civic Si for an insane number of years I think (15?), but NC required me to replace it this year.
An box of awesome stuff from California.
A cool load of stickers. My Gambler 500 CRV has space for some of these and a few for the new toolbox.
Car stuff. The paddles might actually get installed on one of my Tiptronic Porsche Boxsters. The white aluminum water bottle is going in my motorcycle kit as an oil bottle - I just bought a similar MSR Fuel bottle to carry 30 oz of reserve fuel in. Gauges will likely go in the Scirocco project, but could be useful as a $0 addition to a Challenge car. The cool tool all the way to the right is a multi-tool knife, tire pressure gauge, and light - working good with a fresh battery. I don't know if I can use the 12 fuel injectors (19 lb Ford) , but they may be good for trade with one of the guys in the Okie Gambler 500 group. Poly bushings, skateboard parts, bearing and mass air sensor.
Fast & Furious VHS ...I just put it in the VCR and it didn't eat the tape, but I need to find the RCA cable to hook it up to the old TV. Hot Wheels! Love the Bel Air and the TR6. I can never find wire strippers when I need them, so an extra is good. Old LG Android phone, dipstick, pinstripe tape, flare nut wrenches, broken fog light?...
Good box of stuff. Thanks!

I think this every dang year. I think it's because the stuff we're sending is just junk we had laying around the garage, and the stuff we're GETTING is really cool junk from someone else's garage 
On the bright side, we're JUST shy of having half the packages in the mail. Which is absolutely awesome considering we had over 70-participants in the game this year. Of those packages that have been sent, just under 2/3rds have been received by their intended victims. I know it's still early in the month to say such a thing, but there is a LOT of game to go 
Cheers guys, and keep 'em coming!
Got something today but not opening until I send mine out, which I just finished packing and will get to UPS tomorrow. My bad y'all.
Mine arrived Weds, not opened as I have mine to ship tomorrow.
Finally got mine packed and will take to the Post Office today. Sorry no pallet but hopefully I got enough stuff in there.
My victim's box landed on their front porch two days ago. I hope I packed it full enough so the heavy things didn't destroy the light things.
Package dropped off at the PO yesterday in the blizzard. Should arrive NLT Monday all the way in Ohio. 
US customs is currently examining the package... ETA of Jan 12.
Package delivered.

Glad you enjoyed it, and I hope you find a use for some of it! My box of skateboard junk happened to be next to my box of random garage junk, so there was some crossover.
The paddles are from a Honda Fit, so it would be kind of hilarious if that end up in a Porsche. The tow hook and wood ebrake handle are from my Miata.
Lots of stuff from grm nyg boxes of the past - the F&F VHS, phone, dipstick, injectors, foglight, and some stickers included.
Enjoy!
Thanks Pinchvalve! I am especially fond of the world's tiniest funnel. Roberta seems to like the bicycle cables, though she likely has no use for them.
I got a box! My favorite!
Open? Sure. I see a gasket.
Under the gasket was all of the magazines, patches, and stickers.
We also got a ratchet strap, carabiner with a light (that immediately got put on my work truck keys), mechanical oil pressure gauge, Miata hard top trim plate...thing, Yokohama banners, georgia license plate and a selfie ring light.
Very cool box. Thanks!
