    Secret Santa 2016 (Real Gift Exchange)

    I'm a little late starting Secret Santa this year. But I didn't forget!

    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 7th, 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 7th.
    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!!

    Wow, I didn't expect to be thinking about Christmas again so soon. How the year flies by. A lot of thinking going on. I'll have to think about it too as I'm not the best at thinking of gifts for people, but it's tempting.

    I'll think about it. But it would be wrong for me not to join, since I've taken part every year...

    I hope some of you will want to join. So far I have only gotten one PM from someone saying they want to join. If no one else joins, I'll have to cancel Secret Santa this year. It just wont work with only two people (and that is including me). I know there still time for people to think about it, so hopefully more people will join.

    I had been thinking about it, but if I look at it financial now, sending something overseas right now is just too expensive for me at the moment

    I'll join you
    Couldn't reply earlier, but now I'm sure you can count me in. And I'm really looking forward to it

    Alright well, I'll confirm now that I'm joining, so count me in as well I'll send you my PM right away
    It would be sad to cancel the SS this year, I hope there can still be enough people to do it.

    Well, now that the group is four people including me, it is possible to go with that. It would be the smallest Lea Secret Santa ever, but that would be doable. What I was saying earlier, I was just mentioning that because just me and one other person was just not going to work, it wouldn't be so secret who's going to draw who.

    But I think we're ok now, but I still hope more people join.

    I guess I join too, had to think about this quite bit as last year I felt a bit stressed out because of heavy work load and first semester in school, but I think I can better manage things now, especially as I now have proper smart phone so I can browse things away from home too
