Forum Secret Santa

[Rico]

I was thinking of doing a forum Secret Santa this year.  Basically, for those that want to participate you indicate that in this thread and at a date in the future I randomize the names and assign each person another to buy a little something for them.  I was thinking of a $20. spending limit, let me know if that sounds like a good number.  I wanted to set the time limit to Dec. 1st. to decide to participate or not.  I will PM your assigned person after then. 

The way I thought we could work the address shipping info is each person can email their info to me and I'll pass it on to the one buying for you.  That way it's only me and one other that gets that info.

I know not everyone does Christmas and might not want to do this for whatever reason.  And that's fine.  I just thought it might be fun.  Basically if we have several members that want to do it (say at least 6 or more) then we will give it a go.

I'm thinking that we should have a $100 spending limit.  That way I get something really good.  ;)

Make sure to sign up soon if you want to do this. 

Dates to remember:
Dec. 1st (sign up by)
Dec. 2nd (I PM info to who you are buying for, etc.)
Dec. 10th (ship your gifts out)

That timing should work I think.

By sign-up, you mean post here right?

King Linksr

[Rico]

Yes...that's all you have to do for now.

Last few days to join in the fun for this.  Just put a post in this thread that you want to participate.  Dec. 1st will be the last day to sign up.

Alright, I would be willing to do it, but I need to ask my parents first, but I think they will let me. I should respond with an answer by Saturday. Just to give you a heads up Rico.

Oh, I'll do it, too! Any chance we could extend that shipping date? I have to travel all next week.

Ok, here's the final list of people.  I need everyone on the list to either PM or email me (treksf@gmail.com) their shipping address and I will pass that on to your Secret Santa buyer.  Please do that in the next day or two.  Then I will be sending everyone an email with who they will be buying for and where to send it.  About $20 was our target spending amount (not counting shipping).  As far as shipping, just get the gift out as soon as you can.  Everyone knows how long shipping takes at this time of year.  Let me know if there are any questions.

P.S.  One final idea.  It would be cool if everyone would snap a pic with the gift they get and post it up in the thread once Christmas comes.  Might be fun to see what geeky gifts people give each other.  :)
