Alright Eddie (and anyone else who isn't sure), here is how it works:
~ I'll leave these sign ups open for another week or so.
~ Everyone who has signed up will need to send me a profile.
What you need for your profile:
*Profile includes your real name & address (for shipment of the gift(s), an Amazon wish list, along with some information that'll be helpful in selecting a gift (if your Santa chooses not to use the Amazon wish list). Tell Santa about things you like, and also tell him things you definitely don't like (ex. "No alcohol please").*Profile Template:
Name
Address
Link to Amazon Wish List
List of things I like (send me gifts related to/like this!)
List of things I don't like (please don't send me this/things related to this!)
~ Once I've received all the profiles, I will random.org the list to match everyone up with a random person. You will be the Secret Santa for whichever name you draw, while whoever draws your name will be your Santa!
~ I will distribute the names/profiles (ideally late November/early December).
~ It is up to you to chose/purchase/send a gift(s) to your recipient.
~ As in previous years we will have a $20-$30 (US dollars) spending limit on gifts.
~ Once you've sent your gift, make a post in the thread letting everyone know (without spoiling the surprise of what it is, who you sent it to).
~ When you receive a gift from your Santa, post a pic of it so we all can see it! At that point, your Santa can come forward and take credit!
I hope that answers all your questions. If not, I would be happy to elaborate.
