Ho Ho Ho!

In desperate need of holiday spirit, hoping you guys can help me with that! The Holiday season is almost upon us and to celebrate I'm hosting a Secret Santa gift exchange once again. No matter what you celebrate at this time of year you're welcome to join us in the spirit of giving! Anyone who wishes to join must let me know by posting in this thread by NOVEMBER 4TH so that I can get everyone matched and that they can get their gifts out in time.


Here are the rules:

1. Any current member of the RPF as of the posting of this thread may participate (ie: no joining now just to participate). HOWEVER, by joining you are agreeing to both give and receive a gift. If, for whatever reason, you are unable to send your gift please let me know immediately so that I can arrange a work around. People who do not send gifts have in past been banned. It's not worth it for a $20 gift! PLEASE only join if you are going to participate.

2. When you sign up you must state whether you wish to ship domestically or internationally (please include what country is "domestic" in your post). In your post you're also free to include your interests and a wish list to help your gift giver with ideas. By all means post "wishful thinking" wants but also put some realistic ideas in there too.

3. Although there is no limit to the cost of gift you are encouraged to keep your gifts at about the $20 range. Creativity will undoubtedly be appreciated by your recipient! Something handmade with $20 worth of materials can be worth more than spending $100 at a store. You are of course able to send a gift of any value if you like but understand that what you receive will likely be in this range.

4. I will keep a list of names updated in this thread - please PM me if you are interested and include your address in the PM - When I draw names I will send the Secret Santa his or her recipient's details. The person you send a gift to will not necessarily be the person that sends you a gift. IF YOU HAVE MULTIPLE ADDRESSES please use the one that you will be at for the holidays. Better for your parcel to arrive early and be held for you than have it sit on the step for a couple weeks waiting for you to get back from your parent's place.

5. Domestic gifts must be in the mail by December 15th. International should be sooner than that. If you don't want me harassing you please post a note saying that you've shipped either in this thread or via PM to me. If you need to push this deadline back a little bit you must contact me. It is still your responsibility to get the gift to your recipient on time.

6. A gift will be considered "lost" if it doesn't arrive by the end of the first full week of January. If your package had tracking you are not responsible and a new Santa will be provided. If your package did not have tracking you will have to send another gift.

TRACKING: Tracking is not mandatory but if you DO use tracking you are not responsible should the recipient not receive their gift. If you choose not to get your gift tracked that's fine but if the gift doesn't arrive you're still on the hook for it. This way you can still mail it any way you want but you know where you stand depending on the shipping method.

7. Although this is a "Secret" Santa you are more than welcome to let your recipient know who you are if you'd like to.


Finally, not a rule but in the spirit of this exchange please give a "thank you" in this thread to your Secret Santa and let us know what you received. Not only is it the polite thing to do but it lets your Santa and myself know that everything went smoothly. It's a Christmas exchange, please be grateful. Not everyone gets a "blow you out of the water" kind of gift. Don't expect it.

Last year went smoothly for the most part. Here's hoping for another successful year!

If you've let me know already that you shipped I must have missed it.

Unfortunately I'm running late. I held off as long as I could for parts I haven't received yet. I'll be shipping mine tomorrow. I can promise that my recipient will have it this week though! I might be behind, but Santa won't be.

Unfortunately my recipient's main gift still hasn't arrived, even though it was supposedly "guaranteed" to be delivered by Saturday :mad:

According to the tracking info it will be here tomorrow, which means I will have until Thursday to get it shipped out in time for it to arrive before Christmas, and I plan to ship it out either tomorrow or Wednesday to be safe. Also, just in case by some chance the package is delayed again I have already made sure to find a cool "back up" gift that I can buy and ship out in it's place, so no matter what my recipient's gifts should be there before Christmas :)

Oh and I don't see my brother's RPF handle on the above list (IamCaseyJones), but I'm pretty sure he hasn't shipped his out yet either, as he was planning on using the wrapping paper I bought to wrap my recipient's gifts on his recipient's gifts as well. So (unless I'm mistaken and he's already shipped) I'll make sure he gets his shipped out in time as well :) (I haven't spoken to him since Thursday night, so he may have shipped already, but I'll make sure either way).

You're right! Added him to the list. Thanks to those who have contacted me, if you haven't yet please do ASAP!

I just went to text him to remind him and I had a text from him saying "Hey aren't we supposed to ship Secret Santa our gifts soon?". So he's going to come over sometime tomorrow so we can both wrap/package our gifts and get them shipped out in time :)

Oh and I still haven't received my gift, but I think it may be on it's way, as according to MyUSPS I have 4 packages currently in-transit to me, and I only know what 3/4 of them are, so I'm thinking (hoping) the 4th one is my SS gift, and it's supposed to arrive on the 21st :D (assuming it is my gift I'm glad it's arriving so close to Christmas, as I'll only have to resist the urge to open it for a couple of days, instead of a couple weeks).
