AE Secret Santa

[Hero]

Okay. Let me start by saying I have a lot of reservations about this, so make sure you guys prove me wrong and show that you can actually handle this maturely.

HOW THIS WORKS

1. You PM me your name and address if you want to participate. If you don't, don't worry about it. Everyone who sends me a PM saying they want to participate agrees to send and receive a gift.

2. I stick all your names in to a reorganizer program I wrote (hooray) and it'll give me random match-ups. Some of you will get people a state away. Some of you will get people in Bumfuck, England. Nothing I can do, you just have to suck it up.

3. Everyone participating posts in this thread with a general wishlist. That way your Santa doesn't need to go insane looking for a general idea of what you need.

4. When you receive your gift, post here with a picture/description of it. I'll periodically update the first post with what everyone got.

Simple enough, right? Now to some rules.

RULES

1. Don't be fucking retarded. Try to make your gift age appropriate. If you don't know if it will be, PM me and I'll offer whatever advice I can (failing that, I'll ask the person the gift's going to). Don't buy dildo's, porn, hentai, etc. This is retarded.

Common ideas would be: games, anime, subscriptions, toys (non-sexual), CDs, movies, gift cards, or whatever.

You guys know what's appropriate and what's not. If you guys don't follow this rule, we're never doing this again. Even if we do, that person can't participate next time and will be renamed "Forum Bitch" until I feel like changing it.

2. No spending limit. Spend as much as you want, I really don't care. I'm doing Secret Santa on another forum and spent about $70 on my person's gift. I saw some people getting gifts upwards of $300.

3. No bitching to me about who you're Santa-ing. You don't like them? Too bad. They live in another country? Nothing to be done about it. You run the risk by participating. If you do get an international person, you can always use that country's Amazon service to ship something to them directly from there. Shipping will probably be far cheaper that way.

We're cool, then?

I'll be accepting PMs until Wednesday, December 7th. At that point, no more people will be accepted unless they have a damn good reason.

Now go for it.

ahhahahaa xDD bumfuck england!

um note note, if you get me, plz have your return address as "Joanna Limmet, 15 Milk Street, Lexington MA 02420" (not a real person/address although it is a real street) so my parents don't freak out

anything i think would be awesome (surprises = best even if it's like a decorated popsicle stick frame), but if you're totally stuck, cute socks/starbucks giftcard?? Even for like $5, honestly I remember every overpriced coffee thing I buy :P

thanks hero/ae/<3333!

Naa naa~

I'm not particular~ >_> I mean....even a data CD with anime on it would work for me~ xD As they say: It's the thought that counts~

But who ever does get me, please include a letter~! :D I like getting letters~

Ahhh~ But yes, thanks Hero for coming up with this~ <3 And let's hope it does become a success~ :D

hero do you still have my address?

anyways, i'd want clothes (size XL ;o;), music (jrock or some awesome prog rock), awesome jewelry like rings/bracelets (for rings get me a size 8+)+ or if you're super rich a pullip doll but NOT Rovam cause i'm buying that one myself <3~ i also love plushies and figurines (especially anime or any oriental stuffs)

[Siendra]

So the gifts would just be expected to arrive by the 25th? Interesting. Perhaps we should set a bit of a spending limit, though. That way no body feels tehy have to spend too much. Maybe $25USD tops?

[Siendra]

I'm pretty cool with most anything you send me. So long as it isn't a Rap or R&B CD. Or porn... that would cause some interesting problems with teh parental units.

Oh, and if you get me, make sure to write "Merry Christmas!" on the package so customs isn't a dick about it.

Edit: Though games, anime, and books are best! Used is always fine.

I don't see any problems with sending porn if the person actually asked for it xD

Because someone might be 11 and then a lot of different people are gonna get in trouble.

[Pamuya]

[No Sad Endings]

YOU COULD BE LYING D:

[Pamuya]

ILL TAJKE A PIC OF MY ID IF I HAVE TO

[Gundampilotspaz]

What's wrong with Sanchez Pedophile, 69 Perv St., NJ.?

I don't know about you, but...

*Venom opens a gift*

Venom: "Princess 69?" Oh, you shouldn't have!

Set: Well, it's just a little something...

Venom: Get over here you! *hugs, internet style*

Unless you meant, don't be slow with the gift giving. schnell, schnell! Because then you're making a hilaroius music reference. Eh? EH!?

So the gifts would just be expected to arrive by the 25th? Interesting. Perhaps we should set a bit of a spending limit, though. That way no body feels tehy have to spend too much. Maybe $25USD tops?

That's lame though. You're setting up a system in which people fear the monster known as guilt.

"Oh geez. My present cost 30 dollars and her's cost 31... I better get more presents to make up for that."

Course that puts one into a neverending cycle.

Because someone might be 11 and then a lot of different people are gonna get in trouble.

That's right, like society! We'll tear down those puritan walls that say "Sex is wrong, it is taboo!" Which creates shame and hatred throughout. We'll rise up and start a new generation of... Heroes! Great idea Hero!

So apparently no one really wants to do this. D:

Oh, well.

[Tanni Foemangler]

cancel my subscription

[amy]

I want to do it, but I decided it would be too much of a hassle to receive a gift, since when they send it they print the post office from, etc etc. so er can I just send a gift ^^;;;

[No Sad Endings]

Someone who gets your name could just like, be required to make you something not physical that you could get in email or something xD

It sucks, I totally want to do this, but I really, really don't have a penny of extra cash. As it is I have no idea what i'm doing for gift giving among family and close friends. I guess I'm making a lot of fudge. A LOT of fudge. o_o
