The Efest Secret Santa

[Pogues Mcgogues]

I dunno if this has been done before, but I love secret santa's and I'm gonna arrange one on here if folk are up for it! I think it would be nice and show everyone that through the bickering we're all nice folks realy! It will probably be a lot of work, but I'm sure it's well easy to arrange n do.

So basically I'll put rules here to start off and folk can disagree n get them changed. £10 maximum (no going over) and when buying the gift bear in mind the cost of P&P.

Everyone sign up and once that's done, I'll asign everyone a secret partner (if someone would like to go halfers or something on the assigning stage that would be brilliant so it's a surprise who I get, and obviously who they get). After that maybe get the addreses and then PM the individual members of who they shall be santa to.

Keep it secret forever maybe as well, so you have no clue who gave you a nice little gift?

If you think this is a silly idea you can say, but please don't de-rail the thread ta.

Oh and PS - I know this is early but I reckon it gives time for enough to sign up, get organised with who's got who, and then time to look for a present n stuff.

Cheers!

It's hard enough getting people to send a CD during CD swaps

[ampersand]

easily doable. i'm in!

would it be easier to just buy online and have it sent to the person? save on postage, innit?

[rexclark]

I'd be up for this. The buying online idea is a good one. Saves alot of hassle. Plus the fact I can't wrap.

[Pogues Mcgogues]

I think a lot of websites have the option of getting it wrapped nearer the time.

[RABun]

Aye, tell me about it! I only got one from TSU! I sent out 4 of the f**kers!

eta: It was a double album mind, so it weren't all bad. Good ole TSU!

[rachbon]

how do you decide who gets who?

[The Nal]

Why does Santa have such a big sack?

yeah i hope it's fairly drawn out the hat. so that pogo doesn't get me and sends me something sordid.

[Pogues Mcgogues]

I'm not going to rig or fix it.

It will be drawn out of a hat at random.

I've even asked if someone wants to help me, and half the people, so I'm not picking my own one out of the hat. I've said from the start I would like someone else to control who I get so it's a surprise for me too. I don't understand why you's would think I'd rig it.

If there's 20 people, I'll draw half and the other person can draw half, and the only fixing would be that my name would be in their hat and their name would be in mine.

[Ed209]

[rachbon]

Well don't suggest I'm a fraud then!

And if you're concerned of it being fixed, I'll happily accept that as you volounteering to split the pot then.
