NamePros Secret SANTA 2008!

[Morph]

It's (almost) nearly Christmas!

Starting this earlier this year as people said there wasn't enough time to organise a present!

NP Secret Santa works like this:
Member one is the Santa for > member 2 who is the santa for > member 3 who is the santa for member one (If there are only 3 participating)

It's a big ring and everyone has a santa, and everyone is a santa for someone else.


You post here saying you're IN (100% commitment needed else the chain breaks and everything goes pear shaped)
After a while when everyone is in I will link everyone (randomly) and then you have until the 25th to decide on a present, to pass on as close to the 25th as possible, and on that date you reveal yourself and give it yourself (So it's not that secret really!!)


Last year we did a spend limit of $50, but I think we should bring that down to $20 max, so more people can take part.

So, if you want IN on NP SS 2008 just post IM IN or something like that in this thread, you wont hear anything until late november/early december, but I'll PM everyone everything they need to know and a recap then.

Remember if you want in, you need to 100% commit to being someones Santa, or you could ruin their Christmas :p


BTW: I'M IN!!

[Morph]

I few big thanks are in order.

In no particular order:
Chris, Chef Patrick and James, for helping me with this year Secret Santa, It's a lot of work, I really appreciate your help.

Also, all of you Santas taking part!

My pleasure, I'm excited, never really been part of a forum family like this.

If I can say one thing, I encourage everyone to send your partner a physical gift not virtual. It's a little more personal and shows you pay attention to that member :imho:

Also, I am sending out Christmas cards. If anyone is interested in getting one post or pm your address and I'll get one out to you :santa:

 

[DebX420]

Edited as this may be a clue :p

Morph or James will proxy all communication and will find out (within reason) what you need to know.

 

[MJ]

Update! My package is shipped! wooooohooo! Guys, I found out some things.. using USPS is dirt cheap mailing stuff overseas. Don't use priority mail, use first class. Attached is the box full of awesome surprise :D

 

[Eric]

I have the gift for my Secret Santa ordered now. :tu: It'll probably get there early, but that's cool

 

[dezinerite]

Are you ALL giving physical gifts? I was thinking something virtual but I don't want to be the boring secret santa. :D

@MJ - wow...that is one big present. :D

 

[Chef Patrick]

@MJ - wow...that is one big present. :D

I'm giving a physical gift, it's more fun.

And for MJ's gift, the funny thing is it might be a big box with a smaller box, then a smaller box and so forth. My parents did that crap to me all the time. I would think something was the Nintendo I wanted and it would turn out to be a pair of socks...lol

Haha...:D Now THAT would be hilarious! :D

Ok, I'm going to spend today thinking of a 'physical' present...

 

[James]

Thanks for that!


I hope that box.. well... has something wonderful in it.. I believe that person is.. the best in the world.

:santa: :santa:

 

[mtorregiani]

Just ordered my gift... it should arrive before 25 dec to someone's place.

 

[weblord]

im still thinking virtual because of time constraints, it might arrive in 3 months.

Haha...:D Now THAT would be hilarious! :D

LOL! :D Wow...you must live far away...far away from the rest of the world. :D

Just kidding around.

The users local ebay is a great place to start, cheaper shipping or you could also look for local sites that'll ship then all you have to do is use a credit card.
(google )

 

[MJ]
