The Official Lounge Secret Santa 2021 - Partners revealed in post #322!

Hello fellow Loungers!

It's that time of year - time for the SD Lounge Secret Santa! Since there is a lot of chatter about shipping delays this year, I decided to start this thread early so we can get people signed up and shopped as early as possible!

If you're interested in participating, please post in this thread, and then PM me your address. Even if you signed up in previous years, please PM me your address so I don't have to go searching for it.

I'll keep signups open until 11/6/21. That gives you almost a month to sign up, get your questionnaires filled out, etc. Don't delay so I can get names assigned.

The rules:

1. You must have been a SD member for at least 6 months with at least 1000 posts or 100 reps to participate. Sorry n00bs.
2. If you participate, you must send a gift to your assigned person. Don't be that guy that ruins the fun for the rest. I don't want to have to send Autumn or Finzz to your house.
3. Please fill out your questionnaire as completely as possible! Being cryptic just makes it harder for your SS to shop for you.
4. There will be a $25 limit for purchases, plus any applicable shipping charges. We're slickdealers - we know how to find some bargains. Use the site to your advantage!
5. Please ship your gifts no later than December 7 to hopefully ensure Christmas delivery.
6. When you ship, please use a service that has tracking (USPS, UPS, FedEx, etc), and please PM me the tracking number(s) after you've shipped you gift. If you send items directly from a vendor such as Amazon, that's fine, just please PM me tracking numbers.
7. After you have signed up, please PM me the address where you want your gifts shipped.
8. Wrapping your gifts to your SS is optional.
9. Remember to shop and ship as safely as possible!
10. Please PM me when you have received your gifts so I can ensure everyone got theirs!
11. If you will be unable to ship by Dec 7, please PM me as soon as possible.

Quick lowdown of the program:

Someone asked me for the quick low down on SD SS. Here it is in a nutshell! -Finzz-a-clause

Basically just wait for w3kn to PM you with your partner's address and wish list. If anything is unclear about what they want or you need more info, let him know. Then shop! Get as much as you can for under $25 (we are SD'ers after all!) and then ship it on or by Dec 7th. Make sure to PM w3kn with the tracking number. In the mean time, someone has YOUR name and is doing the same for you! If you don't get your gift by Christmas, let w3kn know and he will track it for you. Better to ship early because of all the shipping drama this year!

Please post in the SS thread when you have your gift so your santa knows you have it, but don't post their name. w3kn will reveal the match ups once everyone has their gift. It is up to you whether to unwrap it when you get, and it is also acceptable NOT to wrap a gift you send, just tell wk3n so he can give a HU to your recipient

PS: Note from Santa
To add: If you have questions for your SS, PM me (don't PM your SS!!!) and w3kn will pass along the information.

Ignore this, w3kn. It may sound like a tiny cry for help, but... *uses another role of packing tape* I assure you, she's fine unless she needs to eat, sleep, or go to the bathroom.

Just make sure you poke some air holes in the box before you send it.

Reminder: one more week to shop and ship! If you have any concerns that you might not be able to ship by the 7th, please let me know ASAP!

I might or might not have already shipped my gifts.

Or I may not have even started shopping.

Only Santa knows.
