Secret Santa

If you're new to this, you'll need to create an account on Elfster.  For those who participated last year, I had to create a new group.

ETA: PM me for the link.

Right now, I have the deadline to sign up as December 1st.  Names will be drawn once sign-up has ended and I set the exchange for Dec 17th.  If you all think this is too late, I can change it.  I wanted to give plenty of time to sign up and then make sure things would arrive by Christmas (I know, Hanukkah is early Dec this year, right?)  I highly suggest adding items to your wishlist to give your SS ideas.

Also, what do we think the spending limit should be?  $15? $20?

My deal is that I am going to murder your puppies and piss on your rainbows. -diablesse Lilypie Premature Baby tickers

Re: Secret Santa

  • Um, can we make it to where you have to put your knottie name in somewhere?  I don't want to be an a$s, but I don't want to end up having to buy a gift for a random lurker or something...  Or maybe we can delete this post and move it to our FB page?

     I feel your pain. My b-day is the 15th and I've always gotten birthday/christmas presents.

  • Your concern is valid.  It looks like there's a wall where you can post comments.  I just made a post there to link my name to my Knottie/Nestie name.  And I moved the link to FB.  Or you can PM me.

    Also, if you're going to sign up, please make sure you're going to follow thru with this so everyone who participates gets a gift.

  • Ok I just joined elfster what do I do now
  • Jen - I cannot believe you get cheated out of gifts when you're that early!! That's crazy. It's just annoying. It's like giving someone one shoe for their birthday and say I'll give you the other one 6 months later for xmas. lol
  • Mullen, I just PM'd you.

    No problem!  I was going to say we should sticky this post, but I forgot we're currently mod-less.  I'll just post reminders every week.

  • If we already joined elfster, do we have to do it again?  Also, I know last year we just started a message board-type thing on Elfster where everyone said their SN.

    You can use your login from last year.  You'll just need the link to find the group (a lot of new people and many non-returners from last year). It's on FB, or I can PM it to you.

  • ok call me dumb, but how does this SS work?
    do we make a wishlist on elfster and our SS goes off that or what?

    imageAnniversary
  • Your SS doesn't have to go off the wishlist, it's just suggestions.

    And thanks Jenn for the link!

  • can you put other stuff on your wishlist if you can't find it on the website? I wanted to put a Macy's gc on there
  • If you make a wishlist, your SS can buy off of it or buy anything else.  If you have one, it can often help give your SS ideas.  I know I had stuff on there last year that was from other sites, but I can't tell you how I did it. 

    I'll try to look into it later today when work slows down.

    mine is 1/21 and I get the same thing - at least people legitimately have no money for gifts after Christmas!
