Secret Santa 2013

fargon · 09-30-2013, 03:35 PM

Are we doing Secret Santa this year? I thought that happened in Sept.
If I was smarter I would run it, but alas i'm to stupid.

orthodoc · 09-30-2013, 05:44 PM

I don't know ... I did it last year, sent a gift but didn't receive one, not that that matters. Is anyone willing to organize it?

Sundae · 10-01-2013, 09:26 AM

I'll organise if no-one else comes forward.
It's not ideal as I'm in a different time zone and when I'm on an early shift I'm in bed from20.30 GMT some nights.

But I'll give it a go if no-one else fancies it.
Let me know by 04/10/13 if you need me to get this party started.

busterb · 10-02-2013, 10:39 AM

I'm in

Clodfobble · 10-02-2013, 02:05 PM

I'll participate this year! (I'll also still organize again if you'd rather not Sundae, but I admit that it's always a little odd to have the organizer also involved in the gift-giving.)

BigV · 10-02-2013, 02:39 PM

I would love to participate this year.

Full disclosure:

I was assigned to be orthodoc's SS last year, and I didn't send her a present.

Why didn't you? Just curious, that's all.

orthodoc · 10-02-2013, 06:31 PM

You're too ... honest, V.

As I said, doesn't matter a bit. I'd like to participate again.

fargon · 10-02-2013, 08:02 PM

Me also.

BigV · 10-02-2013, 10:27 PM

I couldn't make the hat.

Lola Bunny · 10-02-2013, 10:31 PM

Got no idea what you're saying. But...okay. :-P

BigV · 10-02-2013, 10:36 PM

I intended to make a hat for her, got all the materials, but couldn't actually make it--the hat I wanted to make was beyond my skill.

xoxoxoBruce · 10-06-2013, 04:14 PM

Well that's when you send a kit.

Sundae · 10-06-2013, 08:56 AM

Rules apply as in previous years.
Mostly courtesy of Monster, but they've stood the test of time. Correct me if we've added or subtracted since.

1) Must be a dwellar of over a year's standing. Sorry Newbs, but we've been burned...

2) This is more of a token gift exchange. Hard to put a monetary amount on it, but if you choose to send an expensive gift, remember that was your choice. Homemade gifts -food and crafts etc are perfectly acceptable and welcomed by many. Cock themes are always amusing.

3) Dwellars from any continent/country may participate. You can request NOT to send to another country, but if you are the only person applying from your country I may have come back to you.

4) I will pass any information on to your participant that you wish. I thin I can work out whether the info is for me as the organiser or for your Santa! For example "No silly trinkets, I need a practical gift" might be tranlated as "A practical present would be most appreciated." Whereas "I never use the tub, so no bath products" would just be forwarded on.

5) Things you like and enjoy might help your Santa, especially if you don't post much, but it's fine to take pot-luck.

6) You should be prepared to mail your gift by last posting date. I'll look up overseas shipping dates when I know where we're dealing with, but someone could confirm within the USA it would help.

7) PLEASE take a photo. It means a lot to your Santa.

All PMs to me by 1st week in November please.
Slightly earlier than usual so I can do some juggling if needs be without worry about the timezones.
DON'T assume I have your contact details.

Any Santas wanting to remain completely secret (ie not provide details to receive a gift) do let me know. Ditto feel free to contact if you'd like to receive a gift but can't send one. No promises, but we may be able to get something together.

Replying to this thread is not becoming part of the programme!
I'll chase up anyone who replies but doesn't PM me, don't worry.

Phew, think that's it.

I think I'll participate this year. Life has settled a bit. Count me in. Ok for intergalactic shipping. Cock.
