LETTER TO SANTA

Dear Secret Santa,

a very warm "hello" to you! Thank you so much for being my Secret Santa this year! ♥
I'm looking forward to finding out who you are on Christmas Day!

I'm an avid mini-hoarder. All of my active hoards are mini-hoards of 20 of each outcome. All of the pets are either common or uncommon, so I'm hoping it won't be difficult to find them.

If any of the pets released during Advent/December make me think "you are so beautiful, I need an entire page of you", I will update this letter and add them to my list of active hoards.

Happy holiday season, and happy hunting! I know I will love whatever gift I will receive from you! ♥

Dear Secret Santa, if you get stuck and hit a dead end or become bored and would like a challenge, here are some more hoards for you to delve into!

New limited hoards

Swallow, Easter 2022 ➜ (04/20)
Fractal, October 2022 ➜ (03/20)

Recently extended hoards

When this litter was released in June 2016, I only hoarded three outcomes. Trade fodder was beginning to run thin at the time. There are two more outcomes of this litter that I would like to hoard, this one (currently at 12/20) and this one (currently at 02/20).

When this litter was released in July 2021, I only hoarded three outcomes. With the summer event around the corner, I wanted to save some of my trade fodder. There is one more oucome of this litter that I would like to hoard, this one (currently at 03/20).

Now unlimited hoards

I've always wanted to try my hand at an unlimited hoard, but was a bit daunted by the idea. Some of you have been saying that they prefer to collect for unlimited hoards, so here they are, my now unlimited hoards!

Gosling PPS, Easter 2022
Hedgehogs, Fae Mischief 2019
Boar PPS, Chinese New Year 2019
Starry Night, Advent 2017

Wishlist

Wishlist pets and/or items would be awesome as well! I would love to get my hands on the animal eggs and the dinosaur plushies that were released during Easter 2022, as well as the rare event pets from the Easter and Summer events 2022 that are on my wishlist. I missed the entire Easter event and half of the summer event due to real life. I was really sad about it, because I had never missed a CS event before.

Rare+ Hoards

I have two active rare+ hoards. I feel really, really bad for even listing them here, but some of you have been saying that they were looking for an extra challenge, so here they are. Dear Secret Santa, you're very welcome to simply ignore the next two paragraphs!

This is one of my very first hoards. 10 years on, I'm still working on it. I need one more of each outcome to complete the hoard. There's a catch: I'm only hoarding pets adopted on September 1st, 2009, no re-releases and no late-adopts. The dogs remind me of my second home, Ireland, and the date refers to a special event in my life that took place there.

Natural PPS pets are my favourite thing here on CS. If you browse through my hoards, you will see that I have hoarded the Brown Natural PPS and the Grey Natural PPS from the special pony lineart. My dream hoard is a hoard of Buckskin PPS. I don't care whether they're true dates or re-releases, all are welcome. So far, I only have 2. I haven't decided on a number, yet. Depending on how difficult this hoard will be, I will either stop at 10 or 20.

I am pleased to welcome 2 new elves to the HSS Team this year! If you need help with anything, you may contact either of our elves or myself (LissaJo).

Welcome Highland & Keir;!!



RULE UPDATE
Please do not use tiny font or brightly color font for your letters to Santa! How is Santa supposed to bring you what you want if they can't read your letter ?

I will give anyone who may have used tiny font a chance to go back and edit their letter (I have not read any letters yet, but alas I am old and will have to zoomy zoom too if your font is too tiny ). I will DM anyone who may need to adjust theirs later this week if it hasn't already been edited.

LETTER TO SANTA
Hi Santa, I wrote a little bit about each hoard for you, but if you want to skip to the end of my letter, I do have a simplified list with just images, dates, and rarities. Everything can be found on my Wishlist as well.

Lets gets started! This item is probably the most difficult for me aquire, the 2015 Mardi gras rainbow glitter. I would like to reach 20 of this item so I can add them on my July 2016 black lab butterfly wolves in my Rainbow Bridge hoard, in remembrance of my lovely heart dog, Artemis. I have multiple pages of different black labs or pets that remind me of her. This is what they would all look like once completed.


As for pets I'm hoarding, Im always adding to my collection "books" which you can look through the completed hoards here and here. I do also have WIP groups so they don't get too messy. Instead of having separate groups for each hoard, I mainly use these 2 groups. One for checkered hoards and the other is for single outcomes (I do have a few other groups for larger hoards over 20)

Birthday boys hoard
This one might be a little tricky to ask for as it's during advent, but for my first son's birthday, every year I have collected one outcome from the Dec 8th advent pets, or if that day happens to be items, I pick a pet from either the 7th or the 9th. And I will be doing the same this year. I will update my letter below once that day comes if you could check back then.
*Edit*
Now that its rolled over to the 8th, I have picked out which outcomes I'll be hoarding for my son's birthday hoard! I have a few of these humming birds already, but my end goal is 20.

For my newborn I am collecting a staff litter outcome that grows on the 27th day, (I'm much too impatient to adopt on the 27th of the month) If you do decide to gift this staff outcome, any date will work. Once I reach 20 pets, I will be date swapping them all for 9/27

I have 130 out of 500 for my IRL German shepherd, Ahsoka. She has grown quite a bit since starting this hoard so she no longer has her black puppy fur, but she still has that adorable floppy ear and her classic GSD saddle has grown out quite nicely . But this outcome looks exactly like her on the day we brought her home as a puppy.

New hoard TBD advent pet (dec 8th) Santa please check back for this special birthday boy hoard
**Updated**



Rainbow Glitter // '15 mardi gras // Need 14 more


Halloween '22 // Rarity unknown // Need 9 more // Adopted 10/31 please


Checkered // Halloween '22 // Rarity unknown // Need alternating ID numbers // Adopted in October


October '22 // Rarity unknown // Need 13 more // Adopted any date before 10/22


September '22 // Common // Need 5 more // Adopted 9/27 or will date swap

August '19 // Common // Need 370 more// Adopted any date

LETTER TO SANTA

Hello Santa! Hope you're doing well. I'm going to say up top that I have a LOT of hoards, so...don't feel pressure to get something from all of them! While you can find all of my hoards if you sort through my pets (they are all in groups with the '{Hoard}' tag or in the group 'Hoard Holding Zone,' in which i am looking for 20 of each outcome), I've just selected my highest priority hoards to go here! You can of course sort through my groups, but don't feel obligated to do so.

The links will lead to the specific hoard. I will add detail of what pet/pets I'm looking for in that hoard and if there is a specific number (if no specific number is mentioned, it's an unlimited hoard). Even this list is sort of long so I've bolded and changed the color of the most important hoards here, feel free to just focus on those!

List!
✦ November 2014 Sorren Fey Dog Litter: only the two darker brown outcomes (in the archive, the two on the top). need 13 more.
