Hello!
I must start with an apology to all of you. I volunteered to take over this year, but I allowed myself to get sidetracked with work and personal life stuff. I should have started this November 1st. I have no good excuse. From this point on I'm going to make sure that I keep this up to date, and I will make sure there are no further delays.
Having said all that, let the Secret Santa-ing begin!
This will work just as it had in previous years. Basically, it goes like this: you sign up, you get a name assigned to you, you send them a gift. Someone else will send you a gift as well. Fun!
What is it?
It's a Secret Santa between your fellow halforumites. Everyone who signs up will be randomly assigned another participant. You are then tasked to buy that person a gift. As a recipient, you should leave a few hints in a post to this thread as to what sort of interests you have.
Rules and Info
The List (Final):

Rules and Info
- To sign up, send me a PM with your email address, shipping address, and any gift rules/restrictions. Be sure to specify whether or not you would accept NSFW or "adult" gifts (such as alcohol). Also, please specify if you are unwilling/unable to ship internationally.
- International people are allowed. If you would prefer not to get an international person, indicate so when you sign up. It may be the case that if you restrict your choice to local shipping then matching might not work out and you may be left out - I'll let you know once the matching is complete if that's the case. So far we've always been able to match everyone that wanted to participate and meet their shipping requirements.
-International Shipping Links: USPS, Customs Forms
-Tips for shipping in and out of Canada
-Remember to allow extra shipping time when shipping outside of your home country - Who can sign up?
To keep things fair, only those with a join date earlier than April 15, 2014 and more than a handful of posts will be allowed to participate for obvious reasons. If you would like to participate and don't fall under the requirements then you will just have to wait until next year. The final say of who can join this activity will be entirely up to Dave so there may be exceptions, but the final word is final. Don't complain if special dispensation is not made for you. This goes for those who may be disincluded as well. - The deadline for signing up will be November 26th. After that day, Santas will be randomly assigned by computer. You will be sent an email or PM shortly after with the information of whom you will be drawing a gift for.
- Recommended gift value is $5-20. Feel free to spend as much as you want, just be aware that the more you spend, the less likely you will receive a gift of equal value. Also, homemade/handmade gifts are allowed, and even encouraged (no homemade food please).
- ABSOLUTE FINAL DEADLINE FOR GIFTS SENT IS DECEMBER 13th! PEOPLE WHO DO NOT SEND GIFTS BY DECEMBER 13th WILL BE SUSPENDED BY THEIR BIG TOES AND LEFT TO DRY OUT IN THE DROUGHT-RAVAGED CALIFORNIA COUNTRYSIDE. NO EXCEPTIONS. If you are not CERTAIN you will be able to send a gift, then don't sign up.
- Do not complain about your gift, conversely, try to send something you think the other person will like.
- You MUST post pictures of your gift when you receive it. No exceptions.
- UNLESS SPECIFIED AS SOMETHING THEY WOULD LIKE, PLEASE DO NOT SEND NSFW OR ALCOHOLIC GIFTS. Please note that many states/nations have rules about shipping alcohol, so when in doubt, choose another gift.
- CAN I SHIP SOMETHING STRAIGHT FROM AMAZON OR SOMETHING?
Yes you can, and it's a good idea to shop at your person's home country's Amazon site (www.amazon.ca for instance) if you want to save a bit on shipping. - SHIP WELL IN ADVANCE
Get your act together NOW and ship your stuff by Dec 13th to make sure it arrives before the crazy Christmas rush that always happens at the latter half of December.
