So we've done secret santa's in the past, thanks to TK who got us started in that tradition. So it's that time again, sign up below if you want to join in this year.
How it will work is once we have a complete list of everyone who wants to participate then you will get your person. Then it will be up to you to send them a personalized gift from you to them and then once everyone's gotten their gift, hopefully around Christmas we will all get together and guess who got who. So what we need from you is just for you to PM me your address and I will compile a list. Then I will split the list in two and another interpersonal mod will assign half and I will assign half. That way it's a surprise even for me. This is a great way to foster the community and the more people who get involved the better!
Try to leave a little hint as to who you are so it's guessable, whether it's a small note with a clue or something from your home area that will narrow it down. That's it if I need to add anything I will make edit's in this post. Sign up below!
Edit: Questions will be answered here.
General max/min on prices? I'm assuming small things.
There isn't a max/min on prices, obviously homemade will mean more to a lot of people in a case like this. I still have the Card TK made for me and I use it as my bookmark. Basically every time I read a book which is a lot I am reminded of the friend I have here.
Rules on what we can and cannot send? (You know... legality? Or sommat?)
You will have to check what's legal in said person's home area to make sure you don't violate any laws, but otherwise have fun. If you need help I'll be a resource to help you figure out if something is okay.
I'm worried about my name or address being out there, what do I do?
There's a few things here, I'll be using your BG name so you don't have to worry about your name being out there. If you live with someone else let them know you may be getting a piece of mail under said name so it doesn't get tossed. As to your address if you are really worried you can do a few things, have it sent to a trusted friend, someone else on site who doesn't care but is close to you or you trust with your address, or get a PO Box. There's probably more options but most likely people here will forget your address and not care after too long. If you go to a univeristy I know the mail system sometimes requires your name to get a package from mail centers. We can always do a initials with the BG name in parentheses or whatever works best for you. I'm willing to work with you to ensure you feel like your privacy is respected in this whole things if you are worried about a crazy person showing up on your doorstep.
