Secret Santa for Christmas - No More Signups!

[Jenny]

(Ok, I cheated and copied this from last year's. )

nickel brought up the idea to me to have a site wide Secret Santa for Christmas. I love the idea and since we've done the White Elephant thing before - for the most part - successfully, I think it'll work well. Same type of concept, but a Christmas theme. Doesn't have to be Christmas themed gifts, but stuff you would GIVE for Christmas. We decided to go ahead and post it now, rather than waiting til closer, so everyone has time to buy & send.

We were thinking of setting a $15 spending limit plus shipping (so $20-$25 total probably). Not just crap you find around your house but an actual gift.

Basically we'll do it just like the White Elephant. If no one objects, I can collect & distribute info. If someone else wants to, I'm cool with that, too.

What do you guys think?
==============================================

GUIDELINES:

Mail deadline: December 15th
Amount: $15 plus shipping, so $20-$25 total
PLEASE let me know if you are going to be unable to send anything by the deadline. We do not want any deadbeat senders this time. We'd much rather know that you are not able to and send something ourselves.


UPDATE
Everyone needs to either PM me or email me their name & address. Signup will be for a week then I'll give out the names.

[topane]

Do me, baby

[Jenny]

-=mike=- you in for the Secret Santa or just for the 3some?

[esme]

can you tell how it works ....i know the $$ amount but how are the names/pairs picked out?

[Jenny]

Oh, everyone needs to send me their name & address and once we have everyone signed up, I'll just send people their Secret Santa's initials & address.

[chadlnc]

I'm in, sending PM.

[kimchicowboy]

i have another ?

do we get to buy whatever we choose or does the other person state their interests and we go from there?

PM sent.

I think the way we should do it is buy the gift now...blindly...then get our name to send it to. Last year I spent 2 weeks scouring the threads for anything Nickel wanted for Christmas. All I could find was McD's Chicken Selects.

I ended up having to have Jenny PM her and ask her what she wanted.

I figure if we do it blindly, we will all have some random gift and won't have to worry whether or not it is "really what the person wanted". It'll be like the GA Bag o Crap. Except the crap will be a good $15 gift.

[Airencracken]

Or we could post our wishlists or just some crizap wanted threads.

That would work too. Only if we all followed through.

I'm with BigJon on this one. A $15 gift that would good for any GA'er.

Jenny: I e-mailed you my information.

Nah, too complicated. I say just buy something you think is cute or funny (but remember, nothing that isn't work/child safe unless specifically said so to me so I can pass it along. We want this to be fun, not offensive. lol).

[Airencracken]

Whatever.

Fine than, if you want your respective secret santas to know what you want make it known!

[Jenny]

haha That is fine too. I just don't think it'd be worth it to try and do it like that for everyone. If ya wanna post a list of stuff you'd like, feel free.

[Jenny]

Oh, btw, for whoever gets me, I want the game Taboo, but I think it's too expensive. Darnit. lol

Dude, you are gonna be SOOOO excited when you get your 2 boxes of Tampax Pearls from me!

[Airencracken]

Therein lies the problem.

[Kevster]

Count me in again on this one.

[BigJon]

Therein lies the problem.

Well...you buy something like a DVD or a Weather Radio.

You don't PURPOSELY buy a gift for a guy or a girl. Think of what you might buy for a hermaphrodite.
