Pips has volunteered to organize things this year, and I'm also here to help. You can catch our conversation at the tail end of last year's thread here.

And I'll let Pips take it from here! :horse:

Edited from the original thread - overenthusiasm get!

It's late in the day, but Lali wants chocolate. :P Who's up for the Secret Santa exchange this year? The thread is the same one as before, but in the absence of Don, I'm SEIZING POWER. =:)

If you're interested, PM me details. I'll match people up like... like... a MATCHMAKER KING.

Now, I'm going to bed. :Wooper:

*~Pips~*

Don't worry, I think I'm just going to feed my mouse and go to bed. :P It was only a bit of crossposting - I think it's good to see we were both so full of enthusiasm! :blackeye:

...:hug:

:P

Me, me me! I want in too. :D I've been keeping an eye out for this thread for weeks.

Pips, what sort of details should we send you? Is there going to be a questionaire again like in the last years?

Crap, Mark reminded me I had said I wouldn't join in this year. I shall have to think it over, but I really want to do it again!

Why, Sil? Poverty? :confused:

I wasn't in the Secret Santa (something makes me not want to abbreviate it...) last year, so it's been a while since I filled one of these out. Does this look about right to people before I declare it official? Anything else we should add? :scratch:

Username and real name

Main interests and hobbies

Favourite colour

Address

Any comments?

Well, I have more money now than I did the last years so basically I should be fine. I just know the next month is going to be rather expensive, but I should still be able to keep enough for a good Secret Santa present. :)

I think we also asked about favourite food stuff last year. That wouldn't do any harm to mention. How about allergies just to avoid killing somebody? :D Age group was another thing we had. Oh and "Any Other Info that You Think Would Be Helpful For Your Secret Santa". That is all I can think of. Anyone else?

Anyway, how much was it we could spend on a gift?

Right, modified (I found the old one, but felt the need to British up the spellings, or be a plagarist)~

Screen name:

Email Address:

Name:

Mailing address:

Age range:

Favorite Colour:

Favorite food or candy:

Any strong dislikes/allergies:

Describe your favorite holiday pastime:

Favorite hobby or pastime:

Any other favorites or notes to your Santa you think may come in handy:

Notes to organizer:


I had a quick browse to see if I could find last year's spending limit, but nobody really seemed to be mentioning it. I'm sure we all already have an idea of what feels reasonable to us, but we could probably do with an official limit, too. Does £10/$17 feel about right to people? :scratch:

ETA: I didn't write most of these questions originally, so yes, 'holiday' is Christmas or whathaveyou, even though Brits are less likely to use that as a catch-all for this time of year. :P

Well, we're certainly short of time, so unless anybody has any objections, I'm just going to do this via PMs. :) Send away, interested parties, send away! :D

Last year's spending limit was $20. I'm fine with about $17, though.

I'll fill this out ASAP. :banana: :banana: :banana:

Should I send out a global PM? Does that annoy people?

I think it seems like a good cause, Lali! :D

I have a promise of one more person joining. :)

Sending out a Global PM doesn't seem like a bad thing to me.

Filling out a questionnaire and find a present seems a bit too much for me, though. :help: But if you need more people I could probably do it. :)

I'd love it if you did join! Though I don't want to make people feel pressured, we don't have many involved at the moment, and the more the merrier! :D

I've always joined in on the Secret Santa, but this year, I'll have to pass. :( Stupid, stupid late exams.
