G&T Secret Santa 2016: You'll go down in history...

Sign-ups are now CLOSED

What is this?
It's pretty much Secret Santa, except with partial strangers.
You sign up, you buy a forumer a gift, you get a gift, you post your gift on the thread, we all experience the joy that comes from getting gifts from strangers that are probably better than the gifts your own family gets you.


How does it work?
(1) Read this entire post
(2) Sign up using the instructions below
(3) Wait until I dole out your Santee
(4) Stalk your Santee and figure out what he or she likes
(5) Buy your Santee something he or she will like (minimum $25) & ship it to them by December 31, 2016.
(6) You, yourself, will receive a gift. Take pictures of it and post them. This is not optional.
(7) Take joy in an awesome tradition of happiness and goodwill towards your fellow P-A forumers!

You will be BANNED if you do not send a gift by the deadline.
Also a lot of forumers will have your address. I'm not condoning anything...I'm just saying.


Sign-up Conditions
You may only sign up if:
snowflake.png You joined the forums before January of this year. If you joined after this contact me and you may be admitted on a case-by-case basis.
snowflake.png You are full of joy and awesomeness and prefer giving to receiving.
snowflake.png You are willing to pay international shipping. If you get someone on Mars, then prepare to ship something to Mars. NOTE: The cost of shipping does NOT count toward the $25 minimum.
snowflake.png You can afford $25 + shipping, or create something at least $25 worth of awesome. I will leave this to your discretion, but if you send a box of leaves or poop or a drawing of a penis then expect RETRIBUTION. Unless of course it's a particularly good penis drawing. Okay seriously don't send a penis drawing.
snowflake.png You're okay with maybe getting something that you don't like, up to and including something you cannot verify the price of. If members of your own family get you crap that you don't like, I wouldn't have high hopes for strangers on the internets. I will not entertain complaints that LewieP gave you Halo 3 and beef jerkey wrapped up in an American Flag; but you only like stuff from Japan.
snowflake.png You are going to send an appropriate gift. Seriously, no porn, anything dangerous, anything illegal, or anything that could be considered bad by someone's parents. You don't know how old your Santee is, his moral leanings, and all that. If you have to ask, I wouldn't send it. Err on the side of caution.


The Nitty Gritty Big 3, TAKE NOTE
Here's the low-down, or the rules, that have been grinched up because of past administrative issues:
(1) Get proof that you sent your package. This is the crazy time of year, packages sometimes get lost. Most of the time it works out. Sometimes it doesn't. If you can't provide a tracking number and proof that you sent a gift of sufficient value, you'll get banned unless you send the gift again.
(2) When choosing a gift, please try to pick something that unquestionably meets the minimum. Generally this is a no brainer, but if someone receives a crayon that you claim you bought at a charity event for $100, I am sadly unable to verify that it is a golden crayon and that it meets the minimum.
(3) Due to past issues, I reserve the right to refuse admittance anyone.
