    Secret Santa 2015 (Real Gift Exchange)

    Time to start this again.

    So, for those of your who haven't done this with us before, this is a real Secret Santa with members on this forum. You will be sending a real gift through the mail. (So make sure you are comfortable giving out your address if you want to join) Please be aware you could be shipping internationally, so don't send super heavy gifts.

    We don't really have a certain price limit, but I think anywhere from $5 to $15 is ok. But it's up to you, you can spend a little bit more, but don't go crazy. Really it's not the price that matters.

    So here is how this goes, if you want to join, go ahead and PM me your email address. I will give people a month to join. So on September 2nd, I will use a Secret Santa website we have been using for years, where I enter in all the email addresses, and then emails are sent to everyone, and in that email, you will get a link where you enter your wishlist and your address of where you want your gift to be sent to. Once everyone has done that, people will get an email with someone's wishlist and address so you can send them a gift! Make sure to send it in time so they receive their gift by Christmas. I know this seems early but we have been starting it this early for years so hopefully everyone has a few months or so to shop and ship their gift in time for their person to receive their gift by Christmas.

    1. Deadline for joining: Wednesday September 2nd.
    2. How to join: PM me with your e-mail address before the above date.
    3. Suggested price range for gifts: $5-$15
    4. Do not reveal your identity to the person you are buying for. This goes against the aspect of it being a secret. People who reveal themselves will be banned from joining the following year.
    5. It sounds cheesy, but have fun!!

    Hey guys, I am going to the Oregon coast today with my mom, nephew and our dog, and we'll be spending the night there. I hope you don't mind if I get Secret Santa started tomorrow or the day after that, instead of today. But hey, it gives people more time to decide if they want to join.

    Safila, you didn't send me a PM with your email address. But I noticed I still have the PMs from Secret Santa from last year. Should I use that same email address you used last year?

    Ok, I went ahead and sent out the invitations. You should be getting an email with a link to click (a button that says "Visit Group Page"), and when that opens up, click on "My Wish List" and go ahead and enter your address and your wish list to join the group. But I thought I should mention that you can still join the group without adding your wish list right now if you want to add your wish list later. In fact I joined the group but didn't add my wish list yet, I will add that later. I just wanted to go ahead and get this started.

    Haha, yes. The problem is, I got all my gifts ready. But I wanted to send a typical German "Nikolaus" (Santa Clause) with my gift. But right now they aren't for sale yet...

    Saint Nicolas chocolates have just been stocked in grocery stores over here.
    Way too early again if you ask me, but who am I? lol

    Are the chocolate letters a thing in Germany? Not really over here anymore as much as in Holland.

    I actually received my gift last weekend. I had to open it unfortunately because the mail system wasn't very nice to the package itself. :/

    We are so much more complicated than our names.

    Wow you got your gift this early? The gift itself was not damaged though right?

    The gift itself was fine. There were some edibles that didn't make it in the best condition. I popped them in the fridge, and they're just freeform now
