When you log into your EVE game (after you've put in your password but before you click on the character portrait), look at the bottom center of the screen. There should be an icon that looks like a present that's labeled Redeem Items or something like that. Of course, that's only if you actually followed the dev blogs and went into Account Management before the 21st and chose one of the items for a holiday present. If you chose a neural remap, it won't be in the redeeming system -- it's automatically applied. Any of the other choices would be in the redeeming system though.
You can also redeem items from the Esc options window. Bottom corner (can't remember which) |

Glad I didn't ask for either Aurum or a remap. By the looks of it, I made the right choice. |

Something is screwy......
I have 7 Eve accounts: only one asked for Fuel Block BPOs, one asked for Aurum...however both got Fuel Block BPOs
The problem is, that I can`t remember which of those two asked for Aurum (and no way to check), but I`d like to know how CCP managed to mess it up.... |

Yep, that seems to be it basically, I've found where it's mentioned, and they don't exactly make it too obvious, the main focus of the article is the extra implant, with a fleeting mention of the holiday gift:

You'd think they didn't want to give these gifts out... |

hey what about the question about how long we have to redeem the items from the login screen.
QUIT ******* IGNORING VALID QUESTIONS!
The American public's reaction to the change was poor and the new cola was a major marketing failure. The subsequent reintroduction of Coke's original formula, re-branded as "Coca-Cola Classic", resulted in a significant gain in sales, leading to speculation that the introduction of the New Coke formula was just a marketing ploy |

So, how many others like me were under the impression that we had to wait until today, go into the redeem items menu in game and claim our present there today just like with effectively every single other gift in the history of EvE and missed the tiny small print buried under a huge advert for the latest in the implant series that we had to select what we wanted in our account management menu BEFORE today or miss out?

Gonna have to add my voice to the choir here, i'm afraid.
I got both of the Genolution implants that were automatically put into the redeem system but this is the first time I, too, am hearing about this. I had NO idea there was anything else to redeem in the Account Management section because, as stated by others, I don't have the time to be here that often, much less learn there was a time limit. It's not even Christmas until the 25th so it seems silly to have cut off the gifts already.
I love EVE to death, I really do, but i'm equally enthralled by my consoles, OTHER PC games and my life outside of videogames. I haven't been on the EVE site itself for a while, much less in the Account Management page, but I HAVE been in-game. Sending a mail to my character would have been a much more effective way of letting people now.
Having said that, however, I don't get why this has even occured. This has never been the way things were given out before so why has that changed? |

That ad popped up once but was overshadowed by a ''New client build available' message so I couldn't read it. It never came up again, after my client restarted so I never had a chance to read it.
As for the E-mail? Well, i'm still waiting for one of those too.

No matter when this ended, there would still have been people missing out.
If you missed it, you only have yourself to blame. It was a free gift - CCP placed it on the news feed. They shouldn't have to message you individually to make sure you don't miss out. Take some responsibility. You had long enough to sort it out.... |

This. This so hard that I want to punch the sun and kickbox Chuck Norris.
There's a great menu in the game for redeeming gifts and the like in game and it's worked just fine the entire time it's been there.
Then suddenly the rules are changed and we get told we had to do it another way this time and by the time the mistake has comes to light it's too late to correct.
I think I'm probably more annoyed now than when I lost my faction gear fitted Thanatos + pod. This sucks so very badly. |

People missing out is one thing but there should not be this many people feeling uninformed.
Yes, lots of people knew about it and successfully claimed it but there are too many people, it seems, who were screwed out of being informed.
My banner didn't show up because of a ''New client Build is available'' menu that cannot be manipulated. When OK'ing that it restarts the client and, due to whatever circumstances i was put in, was never shown to me again.
My E-mail address never got an E-mail from EVE or CCP in general explaining that this was a thing. Yes i have checked my spam and trash folders. The only stuff in there is in regards to a Petition I filed a short while ago about some technical issues.
As I said before, the only reason I am irritated is because I missed out on my warning due to a client update, my E-mail wasn't contacted for whatever reason AND they changed the way the gifts are handed out without an announcement.
Had there been a post a month ago saying Redeemable items would be selected in a new way come Christmas, i'd suck it up as a miss. No amount of successful redemptions by people can change the fact that lots of us were gimped out of our warnings and heads-ups.
I don't necessarily even want a chance at the gifts, I can happily go without, I'm just irritated that this seems to be have been handle clunkily and rather hush-hush. I can handle that the gifts were given out differently, i just would loved to have known they would be WELL in advance of the actual deal.
Either way, your comment ''take some responsibility'' kinda rings hollow. It's a christmas gift in a videogame of all things. It's not about responsibility, it's about wishing I had been able to get a gift from CCP, whom I do love, without feeling like I was uninformed of it or limited for time.
It's like getting to be 12 years old and learning that your parents never told you about Christmas, they just got your sibling gifts and cards so you 'should have known'. |

I just logged in, and read the news about a gift to choose, but all I got was a chnce to choose a client update,
It's not like I am greedy for stuff (well I am a bit) but if you promise an otion to choose, the please give it.
Instead I was automatically assigned a bonus remap, which I don't want and don't need,
It would be a nice of you CCP, to redo from start and actually allow us to choose :)
Cheers everybody!
Edit:
I just check the email account, the newsletter came indeed on the 17'th, pity I don't check this account too often.
Still it would be nice to actually get that option. Somehow the giftbox didn't appear an my login screen,
and I tend to see freebies when they come :) |

the bonus remap is due to a change in the remap system, it is NOT YOUR GIFT!
so don't think you got something, you got what everyone got by default (and what every new account will get in the future)
The American public's reaction to the change was poor and the new cola was a major marketing failure. The subsequent reintroduction of Coke's original formula, re-branded as "Coca-Cola Classic", resulted in a significant gain in sales, leading to speculation that the introduction of the New Coke formula was just a marketing ploy |
