I really do like homemade things. I mean, it can be simple you know? Like filling out a check. Just showing the that you spent those few moments making it out to C.A.S.H. mean the world.

I'm excited. I got someone I am pretty fond of so it should be extra fun. Yes I am that shallow. ;)

I'm sending out assignments over the next few hours. I'm using the forum "conversation" (ie, PM) system for assignments, so if you don't have something in your inbox by tomorrow morning, please notify me.

The thread is now yours to give hints to your secret santa.

I have my giftee as well. While I already have an idea I would appreciate hints. So, person who shall remain nameless, you need to post something that tells me what you want. Get to it!

I have a question are we supposed to reveal who we are when we send our gift or after they post it on here? Are they supposed to guess or what? I didnt do this last year.

If I remember correctly, you should identify yourself with a note or tag when you send the gift. You could use your real name if you really want as well, but the forum name is the only important part since it's how people will identify you.

You, as the secret santa, get to decide. In the past most people let their recipient know who sent it in or one the package, but a few keep it a secret each year.

We're not setting a rule for it, though. Do as you please - or whatever you think your recipient will most enjoy.

Oh boy! Guys..I'm laughing here at who I got. I would say more but it just gives the whole game away if I say anything more. I am busting at the seams.

Okay, it's not hard people. I'll go first: I love reading and I love local foods/drinks/trinkets/whatever is unique to an area. Having said that, I'm not picky and would enjoy anything someone sends me.

Now it's your turn.

I tried to put different kinds of stuff down. I do hate it when people say they don't care. *SHAKES HER FIST AT THOSE PEOPLE*

For me I have no problem with adult stuff, I have my own place now so decorative stuff or housewares are more than welcome, I like cute stuff, bento stuff, frogs... and in the end like everyone else I will just be happy with what I get.

Unless it is a gift card. Then Ill be sad :(

My turn: I would have to say the same with local trinkets/mugs/shot glasses/foods/drinks. Anything local really. And yeah, honestly, you could send me a gag gift or anything silly if you wanted.

Oh, or a Red Ryder BB Gun.

I have no idea what to get the person I have.......TIME TO STALK ALL THERE POSTS!





and for whoever happens to get me if you want any suggestions (since I didn't put any on the form since I thought we were doing it the way we did last year) here area few things I enjoy




Anime DVD's
Manga
Video Games (pretty much for any system)
Geeky stuff

Amazon Wishlist if you care to see that as well

http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/28FOB42MQTZI3


And to be honest I am not hard to please so probably anything you can think of would be great :)

Alright. Let me give a small list:

-Lovecraftian Mythos type things. Jewlery with this theme ( as rare as it is) tickles me but anything will make me pretty gleeful.
- Nerd stuff, especially if it's DC comic based.
- Hand crafted, home made stuff makes me happy.
-Cooking/Baking gadgets, books, and oddities are always welcome.
- Art supplies will never go astray. I'm not picky. I'll find a use for even the cheapest of materials.
- DVDs. I'll watch anything so you'll be pretty good no matter what.
- I'm a huge Star Trek: TNG and DS9 fan. I don't know if that's helpful at all.

Oh, I guess I can give you my Amazon Wish list as well.

Anyone who REEEEEALLY loves me could get me a Mass Effect hoodie* or some Penny Arcade: The Series DVDs, season one or two. I'm also a collector of novelty shotglasses, especially if they're branded with a location I haven't collected yet (hint: basically everywhere).

Other than that I love me some nerdy shit, generally, and a lot of people know my webcomic preferences if you want to order my books or T-shirts*.

I've very much enjoyed the gifts I've got in the past years, including and Achewood shirt and stickers from HowDroll and The Machine of Death from DarkAngel, both of whom are no longer with us. To my Secret Santa - you'll probably no longer be on the forum in three months. You will be missed.



*If you want to get me clothing I take a men's medium if it's short-sleeved or a men's large long-sleeved.

Everyone has been notified. Please PM me if you haven't received your assignment.

Text in image reads: I made a list, I checked it twice, now it's YOUR turn to send something naughty (or nice)

I need to start stalking my person's posts... Person, what do you want?!

(Whoever got me, I tried to give ideas, which can of course be completely ignored should you choose.)

Also, I have a question - if I got person A, did they get me? Or is more random than that? I can't remember from previous years.

Nope. It's random, and this year it forms one large loop that includes everyone. A gets B who gets C who gets D who gets E etc all the way through all 27 people, then back to A again. I use excel to randomly assign people using rules that tell me if a particular iteration meets everyone's requirements (mostly shipping restrictions, and also rules about not being assigned to themselves, etc). I simply run the random assignment repeatedly until everyone's restrictions are met.

Also, to the person who put a soul on their wishlist (I forget who, but you know who you are), Shego didn't join this year, so you might want to post a message in this thread with other suggestions for your present.

For me, I'm partial to most anything, although local whatnots are cool (especially if you're international! ). I'm a fairly big patch collector, and since getting into this gig, I've gotten into law enforcement agency patches.

Aside from that, historical books (especially aviation, with a WWI/WWII flavor), shirts (I wear XL, or whatever will fit a 44-in/111.8 cm chest, or a 17.5in/44.5cm neck). Cop stuff is, like last year, always appreciated. Humor is a good thing... just no NSFW stuff, please... my wife's a touch conservative... Alcohol is encouraged. *grins*
