Secret Santa

[Corey]

Secret Santa is a Western Christmas tradition, in which members of a group or community are randomly assigned a person to whom they anonymously give a gift.

It offers a way for many people to give and receive a gift at low cost to those involved.

Would you be interested in assisting setting up & running a Secret Santa here?

Would you be interested in participating in a Secret Santa for Christmas 2011 at NamePros?

Cheers

Taking that this is for "non-forum" members?
If not..Instead of a gift..would NP$ be a option?

 

[Corey]

Secret Santa would be for NamePros members.

A gift to the value of 20USD.

Also for consideration is the delivery of the gift.

NP$ would be an option, even a gift card at one of the Domain Name Registrar's.

Does that clarify?

I am more than happy to answer any questions.

I was going to suggest this yesterday ...
But I had enough sense to nominate
MC and Michelle.

Geesh .... now your it! :santa:

what about:

Do you want a gift in return?
Do you want to be anonymous?
Do you want to give to a specific member?


Then the selection or pairing process. :notme:
It's fun ... I'm in.

*edit ... He he he same wiki link.

Do you want a gift in return? - NamePros members who opt in give and receive a gift
Do you want to be anonymous? - your choice, you nominate
Do you want to give to a specific member? - Secret Santa's are paired

Moderator's ran the last Secret Santa here at Namepros

If we had a Nps store with garb and goodies we could do NPs swag. (hint hint)

I'll add more as I think of them. Any domain services we can solicit design work here and at other forums for the $20 gift limit.

Also the $20 limit should be a "limit" and not the standard. :imho:

Will the Secret Santa 2011 be cancelled, due to a lack of interest?

Hmmm ... Maybe we should just do a chat room X-Mas party. We can have drawings and games for gifts. Peeps can donate gifts and it can run all day. That way no one has to commit but can still stop by.

Maybe a Christmas eve party. I wonder if we can get the radio up or some music ....

I'm still in

If you know of a less fortunate NP member
please forward their user name and a gift
suggestion. We'll try to match up a gift.
