Listen up. Let's do secret Santa, yeah?
I will organize. I just need Santas who are all about the secrets.
If you're in, post here and feel free to PM me your mailing address. Or don't, but then you probably won't get a present.

tania · « **Reply #1 on:** 14 Nov 2010, 09:10 »

yeah! i'm in.

blanktom · « **Reply #2 on:** 14 Nov 2010, 09:38 »

I'm down! Whats the price limit? Bearing in mind I am unemployed at the moment, maybe like £5/$8 (I am not really sure of conversions...)

Ain't a price limit, dogg. Someone wants to spend hundreds of dollars, cool. I imagine most would aim at $10-$30.

I'm in but only if people don't mind art gifts.

Oh and by the way, when's the last chance for signing up to this, and when's the deadline for shipping the goods around the world?

Lines · « **Reply #10 on:** 14 Nov 2010, 12:38 »

Oh I guess. But whoever I get had better like handmade things, candy, silly things, nerdy things, and so on. So there! I am forcing these things on one unlucky person and that's just how it's gonna be!

So long as that person is on this continent, because I am too poor to mail things over yonder seas.

I'm in if Sean gets to be my Secret Santa so he can finally send me my GODDAMN ZEBRA CAKES.

KvP · « **Reply #14 on:** 14 Nov 2010, 15:40 »

DICKS

Papersatan · « **Reply #15 on:** 14 Nov 2010, 15:50 »

SirJuggles · « **Reply #18 on:** 14 Nov 2010, 16:16 »

All the people who are hesitant about their gifts have way better tastes than I do, so I am totally in. Hope people like ThinkGeek stuff...

Barmymoo · « **Reply #20 on:** 14 Nov 2010, 16:47 »

I'm in, providing I don't get Jens or Kris as my Secret Santa (because that would be kind of silly).

Metope · « **Reply #21 on:** 14 Nov 2010, 16:51 »

Yeah, don't give me May either. I'm already getting her a present anyway!

Jace · « **Reply #22 on:** 14 Nov 2010, 18:28 »

If you guys could tell me if you want to do intercontinental shipping or not it would really help too.

Quote from: Jeans on 14 Nov 2010, 16:14

I'm in! I will do my very best to personalise the present but I don't know how much money I can afford to spend on this so it'll probably be home made/really poor quality and/or a book from my shelf as an apology.

I feel like a homemade present is more personalized than buying a thing that you think someone would like.

tania · « **Reply #23 on:** 14 Nov 2010, 18:50 »

screw personalized gifts, whoever gets me just write me a cheque for like $50 or $100 or whatever and i'll be happy

Blue Kitty · « **Reply #24 on:** 14 Nov 2010, 18:59 »

In, but can't ship over seas

EDIT: within the US is probably the best

jmrz · « **Reply #27 on:** 14 Nov 2010, 20:47 »

If you don't want to run it from scratch, get everyone to sign up to www.elfster.com and use that instead. I'm running another secret santa through that and it is SUPER EASY. And you can ask questions of your Santee anonymously and stuff. It's pretty awesome.

Eris · « **Reply #28 on:** 15 Nov 2010, 00:08 »

I would be in it, but a) I am terrible at this stuff, and still have to buy my family presents, and b) no one seems to want to send anything overseas, so fuck all o' y'all.

But mainly option a.

Wasteroo · « **Reply #29 on:** 15 Nov 2010, 00:11 »

I've never tried shipping anything overseas, how prohibitively expensive is it?

SirJuggles · « **Reply #30 on:** 15 Nov 2010, 00:35 »

I am also kind of wondering about that, but I figure I've never done something like this before so I can suck it up in the name of having experiences and getting involved.

Barmymoo · « **Reply #31 on:** 15 Nov 2010, 04:45 »

I am happy to ship to anywhere in the UK or Europe.

october1983 · « **Reply #32 on:** 15 Nov 2010, 04:50 »

Yeah I'm in, but again I'd prefer to be shipping to the UK or Europe.

Lines · « **Reply #33 on:** 15 Nov 2010, 05:04 »

Priority shipping from the US to Canada or Mexico costs $11-$33, depending on how big the box. Off continent, it costs $13-$55. For the size of the box I was planning to fill, it'd be $27/$44 respectively. I don't really like the concept of shipping being more expensive than what I want to spend on secret santa gifts. Whereas that flat rate box in the US is about $5. So yeah. Mailing stuff is expensive!

SirJuggles · « **Reply #34 on:** 15 Nov 2010, 10:57 »

Mm. Then... can I maybe set my preference to "Within the US preferred"? That may be fiscally wise.

Verergoca · « **Reply #35 on:** 15 Nov 2010, 11:31 »

Oh, sounds good! Shipping to Europe is fine with me (THE UK IS PART OF IT, GET OVER YOURELVES!)

valley_parade · « **Reply #36 on:** 15 Nov 2010, 12:28 »

Inskies, Jace. Prefer to stay within the US.

Wasteroo · « **Reply #37 on:** 15 Nov 2010, 12:59 »

as much as I'd like sending something to Jens or whoever I think I should probably stick to shipping within the US.

Liz · « **Reply #38 on:** 15 Nov 2010, 14:07 »

Tomorrow morning at work I will see if my shipping discount applies to international shipping. If it does, I will gladly send stuff overseas. If not, US or Canada it is.

Lunchbox · « **Reply #39 on:** 15 Nov 2010, 14:19 »

Yeah what Hannah said.

valley_parade · « **Reply #40 on:** 15 Nov 2010, 14:25 »

I'm gonna say this: If you've never done secret santa on here before, it's generally fun (Unless the US government loses a ballin' ass guitar pedal you bought for Patrick, and apparently Kris' gift too).

Last time I was in, I ended up getting some really funky stuff from Emilio, the best of which was two mix CDs, with tracklistings written on a roll of toilet paper.

KvP · « **Reply #41 on:** 15 Nov 2010, 14:36 »

I am fine with sending to our poor, poor Ozn pals

vegkitkat · « **Reply #42 on:** 15 Nov 2010, 14:39 »

So I know I haven't been active in the forum in a while, but I am totally in for Secret Santa. I want to give you guys presents.

Barmymoo · « **Reply #43 on:** 15 Nov 2010, 14:44 »

Yeah my gift went walkabouts too and that was just internal to the UK! Not impressed, Royal Mail. I wanted that gift!

valley_parade · « **Reply #44 on:** 15 Nov 2010, 14:45 »

GET IT SORTED, MAIL CARRIERS OF THE WORLD.

edit: Kat! Welcome back!

tania · « **Reply #45 on:** 15 Nov 2010, 14:51 »

i'll ship international, it's all good. a couple of weeks without donuts can't be too hard.

mberan42 · « **Reply #46 on:** 15 Nov 2010, 20:09 »

I'm in. Would prefer to stick to the US/Canada.

(Liz I will mail you zebracakes anytime you ask. (and pay for postage))

sean · « **Reply #47 on:** 15 Nov 2010, 20:19 »

no dude you can't.

liz can never have her satisfaction.

Jace · « **Reply #48 on:** 15 Nov 2010, 21:58 »

Okay, people who have said they are in that I still need shipping info from:

tania
allison
sean
andy
Linds
Steve/Kat (do you guys want to be one person or two people for this?)
Wasteroo
SirJuggles
May
Katie
october1983
Shane
Kat: version vegkit
Matt

Still need the name to ship to for:
blanktom
blue kitty

Also, I'm adding in that if you guys don't get anything because, for example, someone is a jerk or something gets lost in the post, I will find a gift to send out to you so that you aren't left out. It might be a miniature that I painted or something else useless like that.

Dude yeah I'm still fuckin annoyed at the Yoo Ess Gubbament for not only losing a one-of-a-kind thing but also making me feel bad

Kris I am still down to replace what was lost, although yr new address is probably better to send it to than yr old one
