The Official Lounge Secret Santa 2022

Hello fellow SDers!

It's that time of year - time for the SD Lounge Secret Santa!

This is an annual tradition that started in 2006 and has run every year since. It's pretty simple: You join, get partnered with another SD member, and you buy gifts for them. Another SDer is your SS, and they do the same for you!

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 11/13/22. That gives you almost a month to sign up, get your questionnaires filled out, etc. Don't delay!

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 person that ruins the fun for the rest. Santa does not want to leave coal in your stocking on Christmas!
3. Please fill out your questionnaire as completely as possible! Being cryptic just makes it harder for your SS to shop for you. We want you to enjoy your gifts!
4. There will be a $35 limit for purchases, (yes, this is a change from previous years) 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 9 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. Insurance is not required but highly recommended in case your package gets lost. 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 9, please PM me as soon as possible. Life happens. We've all been there. We'll work it out.

Previous years threads:
2021 thread
2020 thread
2019 thread
2018 thread
2017 thread

Most importantly, have fun! This has been a great event over the years thanks to all of you! Let's keep it that way!

Sign up today! If you have any questions, feel free to post them in the thread or PM me.

If you have a question for your SS, please PM me, not your SS!! We don't want to give away who shopped for who until everyone has received their gifts!

Happy New Year everyone! Smilie

I haven't forgotten to post partners. We had slight snafu that my elves are working on fixing, so hang in there.

In the mean time, where are the pics everyone?! Annoyed

laugh out loud I was just wondering about this yesterday cause I actually have no idea who my SS is and they were so awesome I wanted to be able to thank them.


Maybe the elves have been hanging out with the SD gerbils too long laugh out loud

As the gerbil lady, I can confirm. SD only employs Syrian hampsters.

Are those the lazy ones that sleep all day? Because I feel like SD has the laziest hampsters.

Yes, but they are also the cutest. Side note - every time someone talks about war in Syria, I always think, "What about the hampsters?"
