Dear Potters, We are approaching the last quarter of the year and Christmas is just around the corner, so it's time we start preparing for our annual Secret Santa game! We were thinking to keep the value of the gift the same as last year - that is, up to US$25 (or the equivalent in your local currency). We propose that the deadline for getting the gift in the mail be November 30th. So, those who want to participate should - send a PM to me (the Pot Watcher) with their full postal address and any postal restrictions for your country by October 10th; and
- post within this thread any hints and tips for your Secret Santa to help their elves with the shopping (e.g. favourite colour)
And of course, feel free to post any questions or suggestions below  |

Interesting, I don't see Santa as a religious figure, unless you worship Saint Commerce. But let's call it whatever we feel like, it doesn't matter.

Saint commerce is one of my fav churches sometimes.. lol I get relaxed when I go shopping with time and for totally unnecessary stuff.
When I NEED something I get distressed.

I think I will not be able to receive a thing since the post office is acting crazy for anything bigger than a bill.
I had this idea to be able to participate, if there is a chance to receive my ss gift in amazon credit ( that I can use for books) ( a small amount which I will coverin my gift to the person asigned to me) otherwise I think it will get stuck at customs.
Will do some research in the next days and find out more.. DIABLOS! hate my country!!!! it is CUBA/Iran/Etiopia!

IF I should get Itsa and I can get a present to her in late Nov - by a friend who is going, and she could bring one back to mail from the US...(or far that matter, if whoever gets Itsa could get the gift to Florida by 11/20.....

I'm annoyed that I won't have a postal address in time to participate but I already have some great ideas for gifts I could send some of you! Maybe I could join still and send my gift on time but the person sending to me an be someone who never ends up posting by the deadline anyway, hahaha.

As a Jew who never gets presents on Christmas I'd like to do it. Like black, natural materials, regional things, home-made things, funny things, food things, arty things... Fridge magnets are fine I'm easy to please. Oh it's also really cold here so cold weather wear is always appreciated. |

i like most things, what i am not so much into is jewelry or make up or similar things. i like sweets, exotic food and drinks, root beer (is exotic here, no one here knows it), traditional things, horses, rock climbing, photography.
