Secret Santa 2018 - the List Thread, by Coach on Nov 12, 2018 23:19:25 GMT 1,


Despite being a grumpy old sod, I have been asked to start this year’s Secret Santa.
Hurrah I hear you cheer.
Ho Ho Ho!

I apologise in advance to those that are irritated by lists - Actually, sod it, get some Christmas cheer!

Once again, I shall shamelessly plagiarise the thread from last year.

How it works:

a) Decide if you are in and have something to send someone (do not simply jump on board without giving this proper thought!)

b) Quote the post before you and add your name and number at the end of the list - then double check that you haven’t cocked up the list.


c) You PM your name/address to the person ABOVE you in the list so that they can send to you your Secret Santa gift (I get the most PM's about this - it's the person ABOVE you);

d) The next person to post after you, is who you send your package to (with you paying for postage).

e) And so it continues....
Last person to post on the closing date sends to me (being 1st poster)

A few rules and bit of clarity:

a) Santa's Sack opens now and will close 8pm on Friday 7 December UK time (allows for the packages to arrive before Xmas - particularly international ones)

b) There's no minimum/maximum value as to what you send (it's whatever you can afford, has been sitting in your portfolio/shelf, how generous your feeling etc). But it's good to put some thought in to it.

c) This is open to forumites anywhere in the world

d) Don't be a dick by not sending your Secret Santa gift to your recipient (in the past we have had a small handful who didn't get anything, I'm sure a few of us can chip in for a happy new year consolation gift if that happens this year, but let's try to get a full house again ;-) )

e) keep this thread for straight forward lists. I will start another thread for chat, suggestions etc


Once again, and I can't stress this enough, please think before you add your name to the list - and only do so if you will without doubt (without any doubt whatsoever!!) send something. It is very unfair for anyone to send a gift but not receive something.

Only enter if you feel content to send your address to another forum member. You do so entirely at your own risk.

Also, whilst there is no minimum or maximum value/price please do think "would I be happy to receive this myself?" In the past we have had a few people receive a few stickers. That's not really in the spirit of our secret Santa, unless it genuinely is all you can afford.

Any questions, feel free to send me a pm, or ask them on the other thread.

Happy Christmas one and all x
