Wedding Party

Secret Santa...incase you missed the info before

If you want to join our Secret Santa gift exchange, please PM me.  I have it setup so that only the person who draws your name will get your address.  You can use your work address or a P.O. box or whatever if you are uncomfortable with putting your home address on there.

I have all info set to private, but your b-day will show up if you enter that, so if you don't want people to know your b-day, don't put it on there.

You can make a wishlist and just enter things you like or search for specific things and add them to your wishlist.

Also, whatever you put under your real name is what will show up when you register.  To avoid confusion, I suggest everyone sign up with their TK name or something close to it.  I signed up as First Name:  Frogurt   Last Name: 814.  After names are drawn, we will probably change our names to our real First name and Last initial.  That way the postman won't be confused trying to deliver a package to you. :)

I have the group open to join until November 12.  After November 12, Elfster will automatically draw names for anyone.

If you have any questions, post them here or PM me.

In our original SS discussion, we decided it would be fun to send a local gift along with your gift to whoever you draw.  So say you have the most amazing fudge shop in your town/city.  You could send a little bit of that along with your gift.  Other examples that were brought up were I <3 NY things, mickey mouse ears, apple butter, etc.  It does not have to be something edible.

We haven't set a $$ amount on the gift, but I'm thinking around $20?  Should the $20 include the local gift, or should that be separate?  What do you guys think?

  • I'm cool with the $20 being for just the regular gift and then having a small local thing. What I'm planning on would only be about 2 bucks more...

    Sometimes I feel like people think that brides are delicate little flower princesses who get all dressed up and pretty for one special moment of their dreams, when really they're just normal people who just happen to be getting married. Things shouldn't have to be sugar-coated for grown-ass women. -mstar284

  • LOL!  Well hopefully the cat's recognizable... the last photo I had up of her was when she'd burrowed under the blanket.  Now I think she just wants to go to law school.

  • Yeah, like she'd listen to me.  Can't you see from the face how stubborn she is?

  • I organized the SS exchange on E last year.  Some thoughts for doing it this year:

    1)  I would take the link out of the public post and ask people to PM you for it.  This way, you can weed out the lurky loos that may join.

    2)  When signing up, I had people post with their first name and knot name as their last name, so everyone knew who they were, and it kept some degree of privacy.

    3)  Be aware that when taking part in this, you cannot guarantee that everyone that signs in will participate.  A couple peope didn't get their gifts last year.  One was due to a technical error; I don't know what happened with the other - the poster just disappeared. 
    Holy Crap. We survived the first year!
