49,372 4,876 November 2, 2010 at 07:51 PM in Cool (8) Slickdeals



We all like to buy stuff. We all like to give stuff. Secret Santa is all of that! Woot

*The Rules*

You need to have been a member for at least six months with 1000 posts OR 100 reps.

This isn't done to be mean or exclusive. However I know the biggest reason I've had fun with Secret Santa in previous years is because I've known the person well enough to be able to know what they'd truly like and be excited to hear what they think about it. If you don't have enough posts/reps this for this years Secret Santa, we hope you can join us next year Smilie

You need to sign up by November 12th.

To do this please email me at [email protected].

Please write your screen name in the title so I can keep the addresses sorted more easily. In order to have your name added to the list of participants you need to send me your address. As with every year, this address will only be seen by me and the person who is sending you the gift. Under no circumstances will your address ever be given out to anyone else. If it's found someone has given out another person's address they got from the Secret Santa they will be banned from this and future Secret Santas.

*If you are uncomfortable sending me an email/letting me know your email address, you can PM me. Please put Secret Santa in the title.


I can only put your name in the list of participants once I have received your shipping address.

Spending limit is $20.00 plus shipping.
I know many of us have had some hard times with money in the past year. $20.00 is the limit but you do Not have to spend that much. From what I've seen in the past, some of the best/funniest/most thoughtful gifts haven't always been the most expensive. Just send what you think will make the person you're sending the gift to smile.

Your gift must be shipped by December 11th.
You must get a delivery confirmation and a tracking number just in case the gift gets lost in the mail or if there is any confusion about if the package has been delivered or not. Please send me that tracking number. Four weeks of shopping should be plenty of time to find something for your person.

You will need to fill out the Secret Santa questionnaire found at the bottom of this post.
Please fill this out as much as you can. It will make it easier for your Secret Santa to find something you truly like if you answer it completely.


So you're excited to participate. What happens now?

1.) Email me or PM on or before Friday November 12th that you want to participate. Include your shipping address. You will not be added to the list unless I have received your address. There will also be a list in the wiki of people who are participating. Please include your name there as well.

2.) You will see a questionnaire at the end of this post. Please answer those questions and make a new post with those answers.

3.) Soon after the November 12th cut off date you will receive the name and address of the person you get to play Secret Santa for. Click on the person's name in the wikipost to be taken to their questionnaire and what they've said they'd like.

4.) Get it all ready and ship by Saturday December 11th. Make sure to buy the delivery confirmation and tracking number. Please email or PM me that you have shipped it and the tracking number. USPS gives it free for online ordering.

5.) Please email or PM me when you have received your gift.

6.) Jump up and down with joy. A present!! You can post in the thread you received it and if you opened it you can share what you got if you like.

7.) After Christmas Day we can all tell everyone who we shopped for. It will also be updated in the wiki. Please try to keep secret as much as you can who you are shopping for. Wink


*FAQ*

Can I open the package as soon as I get it or do I need to wait until Christmas?
Some people can't wait to rip into the package and others want to save the excitement for Christmas Eve/Day. The choice is completely yours.

What if I'm going to be out of town around the time the gift will be arriving?
It's understandable that this time of year people travel out of town to see family and friends. If that's the case, please make sure to have your deliveries held at the post office/UPS/etc. If you know in advance you will be out of town, you can contact me with the dates you'll be gone and I'll let your SS know. They may be able to adjust when they ship it so it will get to you while you are there.

Crap. I wanted to participate but now I can't for whatever reason. What do I do?
Life happens. We understand that. However please let me know this as soon as you realize you are unable to participate this year. This is very important.

I'm not entirely sure I'll be able to ship in time or I completely forgot I needed to buy/ship the gift by December 11. What do I do?
Let me know right away. It is very sad to hear about someone who's waiting everyday to see when their gift arrives only to not have it come. If for some reason it is shipped out later, I'll inform the person you are shipping it to that it may arrive a little late. However shipping it late is not ideal and I'm sure we will all be able to meet the shipping deadline.

Wow, I read my person's questionnaire but I still have NO idea what to get them or I have a question about something on their list. What should I do?
You can either email/PM me and I can contact your person and ask them for more info. You could also PM someone you know is their friend and ask them to ask your person for clarification on their list.

Can I request to be a particular person's Secret Santa?
No.


Can I change who I'm supposed to buy for once I receive their name?
No.

I was involved in previous years but didn't send a gift because I forgot/got busy/whatever. Can I enter this year?

I'm sorry but no.

Autumn, I know how bad you are at answering PMs. Will you actually read and answer them for Secret Santa?
Yes. I cleared out my PM box and as of now it's empty and ready for PMs. I'll check it several times a day at least.

Last year I ran a last chance sign up because some people hadn't been to The Lounge in awhile and did not see the Secret Santa or had forgotten to enter. If there is someone you think would want to participate please PM them and make sure they know the sign up date.

Have fun!!

Hey you guys...I love you!!!

I received gifts and a card signed with a lot of y'all's names. You are all too wonderful!!

The card was hilarious...and I loved it. I have read it a number of times and it makes me laugh every time. It said...

Quote :
Santa sat relaxing with his wife and reindeer
Christmas was done so he grabbed a cold beer.
Suddenly he sat up and thought, "What a minute!"
He looked at his sleigh...there was something still in it!
I see several items, all made out of bacon.
And chocolate too, if I'm not mistaken.
Some elderly ladies in homes in the 80's,
And some guy named "Stamos" and friends some who are crazy.

Did I miss a house?
Did I miss someone?
Am I bad at my job?
Am I a Santa-bum?

He sat down and wondered.
Just whom was this for?
Why, it must be for someone
Who - bacon - adored.

Thought Santa, "Dedication to bacon
Is really quite odd.
And I see the recipient thinks
She should be 'A Mod?"

The one I forgot
Is a lush through and through
And it appears that her hair
Is a fiery hue.

But I hear that she's been
Very good this whole year.
And I think I should send
Her some Christmas cheer.

So, he saddled his reindeer
For one last Christmas run.
And off he went, shouting,
"Ho Ho Ho, it shall be done!"
And a picture of a piece of bacon in a Santa hat. laugh out loud It was so perfect. Thank you SlickChik and SlicKitty for the poem. You guys are amazing hug

And the presents...you guys are too wonderful. Seriously. It was great too cause I Totally didn't expect it....and I went downstairs and saw a Lush box and I thought "Wait...I didn't order stuff from there..." and then I opened it up...and you guys are awesome. Here's a picture.



Which was AWESOME!!!! I love Lush stuff...so so so much. It's one of my very favorite places to receive gifts from and I have NEVER ever gotten a box this big full of stuff. Ever. And the "New Shampoo"....mine was just about gone and then this came with two more!! And I've never had these body washes before or the sugar scrub and I Love the body butter (It's to rub on your rear to make it soft laugh out loud or any other places you want soft too). And the soaps smell amaaaazing. One is a lemon/lime fragrance and that's one of my very favorite scents. heart

So if that wasn't enough.....I get another box....and holy cow...it's from a Bacon place! Bacon!! And here's what was inside.



Bacon chocolate bar, bacon brittle, bacon lollypops, pancake mix with bits of the bacon chocolate bar inside, bacon seasoning, bacon popcorn, and a bacon meat candy sticker laugh out loud OMG I'm so excited to try this stuff! It's from a place called Bacon Freak which might be my new favorite website laugh out loud Patrick saw the bacon/pig stuff on the box and he goes "I'm guessing this is for you" laugh out loud

Anyway guys....this was all so wonderful. I appreciate it so so so much. The card, the lush stuff, the bacon stuff....I couldn't have asked for anything better than that. I called my mom up and told her and she thought it was great stuff (Well she's not as into bacon stuff as much as I am but she thought the lush stuff sounded great, lol). You all really didn't have to. I love you guys.

Thank you all again and thank you for letting me run it again this year hug

Damn...forgot the spiders.

I knew I forgot something. Spider Spider doesn't rhyme with much.

The LUSH pr0n is so great and the bacon site...well! Thanks for posting the photos so everyone can see! Everyone thought you did such a wonderful job and was eager to recognize you.

Thank you for doing such a great job.
