Signups for GAF Secret Santa 2008 are now CLOSED.
If it's ok, could one of the mods please make this a stickied thread?
We've done GAF Secret Santa since 2005, and I've been running it since 2006. I figured we might as well bring it back once more for 2008.
In this thread I would like you to post:
A. Will you ship outside of your country. If you're unwilling to ship internationally, don't expect to get an international Secret Santa.
B. The country in which you reside
C. A brief list of things you might be looking for. Keep in mind we don't have to get something that is on this list. If you list video games, please list what systems and if you can play Japanese/US/European games.
The rules are no gag gifts. Gifts can be funny, just make sure they are useful in some way, you can buy a Shawn Michaels bobble head, but you cant buy a 24 pack of toilet paper, you know what i mean? $30 (US) or less is what were looking to spend here, but if you feel like being an extra special Santa you can go over that limit. Just don't expect someone to do the same for you! Gifts should be wrapped in some way.
The cut off point for signing up will be 1:00 pm PST on the 8th of November. I (with the help of my wife) will send all assignments out through PM (so make sure your inbox is clean!) And all packages must be shipped by the 15th of December. EARLIER IS BETTER. Please for the love of god send out your package so it gets there BEFORE CHRISTMAS! If you weasel out of your responsibility I don't have the authority to ban you for 2 months, but I'll speak with the mods! This isn't like the disc exchange! People are spending hard earned money to buy you gifts! So when you send your package, please post in this thread stating you have shipped out your present.
Also if you can, refrain from opening your present until Christmas day. On Christmas day I will start the Secret Santa present opening thread and we can all show off our gifts at the same time.
When you PM me your shipping information please include your full name, address and state and whatever information people will need to get the package to you. Last year we had some problems with the post office when people didn't have full names. I can't remember who, but something along the lines of the mailman not being able to deliver a gift for "sephiroth666" as they weren't registered as living at the address happened last year. When you send me your information i will give you a santa number for you to sign your package. An example would be:
Santa #41
1234 Radtageous Rd
Bucksnort TN, 39393
Send me your shipping information before November 5th. Also, don't be an asshat and get banned. It's really hard tracking you down if I can't PM you.
After the present opening thread ill post a list of who was what santa so you can properly thank your secret santa.
If you have any more questions post them in this thread, just in case i forgot anything.
All I have to say is, get in the Christmas spirit and please please please dont forget to send out your presents!
Do not send stuff that will:
A) get them in trouble with customs
B) might look suspicious and
C) might contain matterials not appropriate for certain age individuals.
So if you are under 18 please post and say that you are under 18.
Don't forget to PM me with your full name and shipping address!!
