Secret Santa 2018 - chat thread. , by Coach on Nov 12, 2018 23:24:24 GMT 1, Well, it’s live. The observant amongst you will have seen that I have started this years Secret Santa.
Please use that thread for listing names only - it becomes easier to mark who has sent and received later.
Please use this thread for comments, questions and hopefully not complaints.
If anyone wants to ask me a questions by PM please feel free to do so, and I will do my best to help.
And, again, please do not add your name to the list unless you absolutely WILL send a gift. It is highly likely that you will be named and shamed.
And only add your name if you are happy to provide an address to your Santa.
Ps apologies for starting it a bit late this year. But there’s plenty of time to get your name down.
The Secret Santa List thread is here:

Credit to Coach though for keeping the spirits high 👊🏻

Their used to be a Xmas swap shop thread too, that I had a lot of fun with in the early days.
I might start that up again if anyone would be interested? Get some fun back onto the forum

I’m afraid that that does happen from time to time. Not a great deal that we can do to stop it.
It may be that that was all that your previous secret Santa’s genuinely could afford, as there are people of vastly different means on the forum, and I like to think we would all like the festive fun to be inclusive.
The rules do indicate that you should give a gift that you would be happy to receive, so a few stickers and show cards is probably not appropriate unless it is all that you can afford.

It depends if the artist ! Banksy Invader etc .. have great show cards and stickers !
I have even some secret B. Ones that I will never show ahaha ! Lovely gift years ago. I don’t think that a lot have some. Anyway it’s maybe not from the guy himself. Stickers are the soul of Graffity and street art ! Slap
Them all .
Édit : it’s true that if it is Obey or pack of stickers from Grafffiti prints we have seen too much of them !

Don't despair Coach, this is a great tradition and I'm sure we all echo rjf76 sediments. I have to agree, if all you care about is what you are going to get, then don't put your name on the list because you're missing the point. Happy Holidays to one and all. Now open up your hearts Fuckers!! |

Secret Santa 2018 - chat thread. , by Wisconinla on Dec 26, 2018 3:19:25 GMT 1, So this was my first time participating and I’m already looking forward to next year. Although my SS was very generous and I got some great gifts that will actually make the wall, the best part was meeting a few more of the great forum members on here and passing on a few of my own things that I hoped someone would enjoy.
Good on you for keeping this going Coach, it’s appreciated by me and many others.
Happy Holidays everyone.
