gena Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 The point is to have fun. Have you ever done a secret santa exchange? It's actually a lot of fun. It's a mystery exchange in the spirit of Christmas. We're not exchanging lists of things we want (that's not the point). It would be a good idea, once you know who you are buying for, to check out their tank thread so you have an idea of what they could use and couldn't use. Link to comment
HecticDialectics Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I've done a secret santa with friends before... we all bought each other gag gifts like fart in a can, fuzzy handcuffs, and dirty astrology books. It was extremely awesome because we all sat around for three hours getting drunk laughing at each others' gifts. I assume that will be absolutely nothing like this gift exchange, which sounds not fun at all. If y'all wanna exchange mag floats and fish nets and stuff and open the gifts utterly alone in your living room, more power to you. Link to comment
ApiratenamedJohn Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 ^^^^ I know who the ghosts of Christmas are haunting this year. ^^^ lol Link to comment
CaptainErratic Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 doesnt sound too bad, id like to participate Link to comment
gena Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I think we all know who definitely won't be participating Some of you may physically be all alone when opening your gift (is that such a bad thing? ), but you will be required to take photos of what you got to share with the community here. I think once people see how it works, there will be lots more people inspired to try it next year (that didn't go for it this year)!!!!! Link to comment
ApiratenamedJohn Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I'd be down as long as I don't get a fish net lol Link to comment

Christmas is about the giving most of all anyways. Maybe next year you will think differently Gonna have the rules and all that jazz on the first post later tonight Link to comment

Lawnman Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Someone should head it up. Anyone that wants to join in should send a pm to the head guy or gal with there address. Then the head person should link up each other kinda close to one another to help on shipping. Is this how you do a secret santa? Never done one before. Link to comment
gena Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 how many people live near poor old kazooie? and how much is shipping to alaska? alaskians speak up ya know...this brings up a good point. Probably should make sure you pair up people who live in the same country!!!!! Shipping will be crazy if not. Link to comment
JR! Posted November 28, 2011 Author Share Posted November 28, 2011 how many people live near poor old kazooie? and how much is shipping to alaska? alaskians speak up flat rate is the same to there that it is to the lower 48 silly Link to comment

Never done one before. the way that i have run it before is put all the names into a hat and draw pairs. then the two people contact each other and work out the shipping. simple as that ok then, my brain know not all things mine either but there is a few things rolling around in there Link to comment

Keep it secret! Only you will know who is paired up. We can just give you our addresses to give to the other person. Then after pictures are posted here...the person who gave the gift can identify themself! It would be way more fun that way Link to comment

Otherwise we'll know who is sending to us. Know what I mean? Link to comment

gena Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 noted I hope you're not thinking..."what have I gotten myself into?" If you need help with pm's, I'm here for you Link to comment
ApiratenamedJohn Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Anyone out there still interested in macro trades? I have a few different types I can post pics of if anyone is interested. How about just give each pair each others address, no names. That way you guys aren't paying all the shipping fees to redirect everything. But I think just pming names and addresses should work fine.
