I've updated the list again, there are 22 people so far. Only three weeks left to get your ducks in a row and sign up! Remember, homemade gifts are fine, and many people encourage them! Also trinkets and locale specific items are often enjoyed.

And, a selection of tidbits from the 2011 secret santa to whet your appetite:

I'm getting super excited...

Yay I got my present ^_^ ... I like it even more than I thought I would.

Stupid UPS driver.

I am incredibly easy to please!

I got my gift in and I absolutely love it!

After ripping the bag open I was extremely pleased...

OMG! I never dreamed that someone would actually get this for me! So awesome! Thank you!

Geeky, Zelda, and kid friendly too! Awesome! Thanks...whoever that was!

Mmm...magnesium stearate.

...a really sweet, custom-made bleach stencil shirt!

Today I got a very nice thank you card from makare! Super classy!

Thankyouthankyouthankyou! I'm spending this weekend with a blanket, a cup of tea, and my new books. You rock!

It always creeps me out when I see you peeking through my window.

I have a nice package.

I received my package today, and whoever sent it to me (no indication was given!) is incredible!

1:I can't tell you how much of a smile this put on the ol' swollen face!
2:I also included a recipe that I had to drink to earn that glass... did you get that, too?
1:I did! I definitely plan on making it and will keep you posted on how it is!
2:If you can still post after drinking it, you didn't do it right. *grins*

Woo! I got mine!

Present(s) received!!!! :awesome: I don't know who sent them, so I can't thank them, whoever they are. If they were to reveal themselves here however... well... things could get aaaaaaall kinds of thankful up in here!

Just got a text from my mom. "Package at her house for you. Think it's your internet secret santa thingy.Either that or we have drugs to sell."

All in all a wonderful set of gifts and a great surprise! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! to Bumble! And to all of you, really. This is my first online Secret Santa ever and I'm never going to skip doing it again.

Bumble the Boy Wonder : Next year I'll send the [picture] of me on the bear-skin rug ;)

Note to self: join next year's Secret Santa

Oh my...someone appears to have done their homework.

A BIG THANKS to my Secret Santa, I LOVE my gift. :D
 
I need to duck out. My wife and I just got slammed with over $400 in dental costs after what the insurance would cover, and still don't know if she's going to have a job in less than a month. Sorry. Maybe next year.
 
Only two weeks to sign up! The first one was awesome. 17 pages of awesome. Here are a few select quotes:


To whomever gets my gift: If the box is "rattling" or seems to shift oddly? No worries. That's just the rattle snake. Merry Christmas!

This is the sort of thing I really like - knowledge of how to screw with stuff I own on a fundamental, working level. I love it! I'm going to read through as soon as I can and start messing with stuff, much to the chagrin of my family.

Giving does often feel better than receiving, but receiving is pretty damn awesome too.

A package came today and I got really excited but it was for my mom. Now I have Secret Santa blueballs.

And my wife is aghast.

BUT SERIOUSLY LOOK HOW FUCKING COOL MY CHRISTMAS GIFTS ARE :3 An old woman stared at me when I was wearing the unicorns shirt at a restaurant. She did not approve.

Man everyone has been getting such awesome gifts. I can't wait till my gift comes in the mail so I can hug it and squeeze it and....

I got a package today. I can't open it till tomorrow due to my rushing around but rest assured... this thing will be opened, pictures will be taken and all will be right with the world.

So SO good. My family loves 'em too. And it came with a goofy/adorable little note that I will not repeat here. :D

Hahaha, definitely one of the weirder presents I've ever gotten! But all very cool. The posters are interesting, the coin is neat, I'm totally hanging the woodworking up, and I'm sure the tote shall tote. But if the FBI shows up at my door, I'm totally sending them after you. :|

The best part about these comics, is that it appears he gave them from his own collection! Awesome!

Fact: Santa Claus is a mover and shaker inside Canada Post.

Oh, there's quite enough Calleja to go around :unibrow:
 
I clicked submit, but it didn't clear out. I think I might have clicked it twice. Hopefully it sent.

It wasn't submitted. Try again - you should get to a new screen that says "Your submission has been recorded, and your username will appear on the secret santa thread in a day or two."

If you don't receive that this next time, just PM me the same information and I'll add you to the list.[DOUBLEPOST=1352234447][/DOUBLEPOST]The list is up to date again! Check the first post of this thread, if your name isn't on it, and you want to participate, go to http://semiaxis.com/hf/ and fill out the form.

Just a few days left to join in this year's fun!
 
Today is the LAST DAY TO SIGN UP.

If you were waiting until the last minute, this is it!

Sign up now, or feel left out next month - your choice.
 
I've just updated the list, check to make sure your name is on it. If not, I haven't received your entry, so send an entry, or pm me to figure out what happened.

I'll accept entries for another eight hours or so.
 
Hi, I like to push my luck and entered 8h and 35min after the last post. It's probably maybe technically still the 9th somewhere on this planet? :-P[DOUBLEPOST=1352551842][/DOUBLEPOST]On that note: I know what I got in the first SS (and I didn't enter any since due to money or other reasons), two DVDs of James Bond (which convinced me to buy the whole box and go see later movies in the cinema, hurray! Thanks!) and I know I shipped my items to China. But I don't remember who sent me those DVDs, or who I sent my gift to.
Anybody remember? :-P
 
Double check the list to make sure you are on it if you are participating, and pm me if you believe there's a problem.

I'll be giving assignments late Monday evening.

Aaaaand, it might not be happening tonight. Tomorrow night's not looking good either. I'm going to do it as soon as I can, and hopefully it's very soon, but I don't want everyone waiting on pins and needles, and I don't want to rush it either - while it's a random process, I still have to make sure everyone's shipping requirement is met, no one gets themselves, and this year I'm trying to make sure people don't get someone they got last year, so it's a somewhat lengthy manual process still.
