Are we having one this holiday? It's not too late, is it? I have stuff I'm more than willing to send as gifts.
I've tried setting one up every year for the past four or five years. Each time I did we'd get one or two people at best willing to take part while a handful would complain about not having money. Everyone else would ignore the thread. Wouldn't even do any good to insist that home made or digital items would be fine for those not well off. Songs, drawings, etc.
>>30981 That is a shame, I would have loved to participate and give some stuff away. Even if it was just me I have some things I would like to send.
>>30982 Well if you think it's worth a shot we could try it again I suppose. Might not have much time to get things sorted out though.
>>30983 I know it probably won't go well but I'll just need instructions on what to do. This is my first ever secret santa.
>>30984 http://sneakysanta.com/invite.aspx?i=d6b98014 Whelp, here's the secret Santa site I've tried using in the past for this. It lets people make accounts, set wish lists, and when the time comes it pairs people off.
>>30985 Thank you. I joined under the name, Minty.
>>30985 I registered. I don't know what to put on the wishlist for now so I'll fill that later.
It was recommended we maybe consider sticking with steam games. This would be because international shipping costs can be a bitch, people might not want to share addresses, and they tend to have large sales on games around xmas anyway. But I guess that's up to the giver. Still, a cap of $20 might be good to keep people from feeling guilty about not being able to afford nicer things, or would that be too low?
>>30989 >It was recommended we maybe consider sticking with steam games. >Still, a cap of $20 might be good Both sounds good, specially because you don't even need to share your steam account nor its wishlist. Just paste the store links in your wishlist and someone can get you a key.
>>30985 I sent you a message on sneakysanta.com regarding sending of physical gifts but I don't know if you check your messages often. By the way, do we have a deadline for this?
Hows the 15th for a deadline?
>>30995 That works for me, thank you for your response.
To the person without a wishlist: I want to remind you that the deadline is getting closer and nobody knows what to get for you yet. I do not want to disclose a name for the sake of privacy.
>>31035 I don't think we should bother if only 3 people are involved.
>>31036 The last time I checked there were four.
>>31037 Still too few to make a draw, and only 2 of the 4 have a tangible wishlist.
>>31042 The website requires a minimum number of people to draw?
>>31049 Nope. Just seems like it would be lame if we only had a couple people taking part and there wouldn't be much secretive or random about it.
>>31050 I certainly would not mind.
So, we doing this or what?
>>31054 I am waiting now for the names to be drawn.
Whelp, names have been drawn and the gift giving is away. Had someone drop out due to the small turn out, but also had someone join last minute. Four people isn't much but it's the biggest turn out we've ever had, and this marks the first time we've actually gone through with a TC secret santa.
>>31064 Thank you for drawing the names after all, I had sent my gift today to my secret santa and I had fun sending it. I hope they will like what I sent them.
Hopefully this'll be worthwhile, pretty cool to see it actually happen even if turnout was low.
>>31069 I bet everyone's going to be disappointed by their gifts.
>>31070 I hope not, I'm sending cool shit too
I won't be disappointed, believe that.
Fuck yeah, thanks Santa! Hopefully we can get even more people next year.
Got my secret santa gift today. This was really nice nyu Thanks a bunch! The letter gave me a chuckle.
>>31079 You're welcome, hope you enjoy! (I hope you have a BD player)
Thank you very much! Your kindness is much appreciated, believe that.
>>31084 Dude went out of his way to get your ass a BK crown. What a saint.
>>31085 No kidding, imagine how embarrassing it would be to ask for one.
now we wait for number 4
My santa gift has arrived today! But why are there two of them, I wonder?
>>31103 OPEN ITTTT
Wow! So much candy! And books too! Thank you Secret Santa! And a mystery gift from a mystery santa! Thank you so much, mystery santa. I don't know who you are but I appreciate it very much. Long have I lurked and wanted to participate in a secret santa with everyone but I was too shy to ask. I lurked since early in the life of Tohno-chan. I am very happy that I asked this year, I hope that there will be one next year too! Thank you, I had a lot of fun and I hope everyone did too! This was an amazing gift!
