GP Rejects Secret Santa!

SuperAguri · Post by **SuperAguri** » 01 Aug 2015, 01:20

Its August so its late enough to organise a secret santa. How does it work?

First you must sign up below, give your user name and country you are currently in...

You must be willing to commit to buy and send a gift to one other member, regardless of where they are, so dont buy bricks to send from the UK to Australia.

The gift must cost no more then 5 UK pounds (at time of writing, 7.10 Euros,10.70 Australian Dollars, 7.80 US Dollars, 10.20 Canadian Dollars, 2,185 Hungarian Forint, 10.70 Singapore Dollars, 26.75 Brazilian Reals, 11.84 New Zealand Dollars or 169,785 Vietnamese Dong)

On the 11th of October (extended due to forum outages), every member will be given a RNG draw of the person they must buy the gift for, I will email everyone for addresses.

You will be emailed the person you have to buy the gift for, along with their address. Buy gift then send to them to get to them in plenty of time for whatever end of year celebration they have.

You can comment on your gift on Jan 1st 2016. Do not tell anyone who you are buying a gift for.

As I am generous I will buy a gift for anyone that commits.

Sign up list . Bold means sent gift. Underlined means recieved a gift..

As much as I despise Christmas, this exercise will hopefully increase traffic on here, or at the very least, bring the "old-timers" together. I'm in.

Regifters should be shot.

Given this is my dojo, I should really be encouraging participation by also participating...

Depends on how hot the DHMO gets. But the pressure that DHMO would exert on the gun once it starts boiling is more likely to cause the gun to explode before it starts melting due to heat or any other reason.

Extended to the weekend, don't lose your chance to get some useless tat from on of the forumites.

dr-baker · Post by **dr-baker** » 06 Oct 2015, 20:43

I'm getting intrigued and a little excited about this now.

Wallio · Post by **Wallio** » 14 Oct 2015, 20:05

I know I have been AWOL for a bit, but did the draw occur?

SuperAguri · Post by **SuperAguri** » 15 Oct 2015, 19:56

Tomorrow I will ask for your addresses via PM.

SuperAguri · Post by **SuperAguri** » 16 Oct 2015, 11:04

Right PMed everyone.

Draw has been done, will forward addresses only when I get all the addresses, so if someone fails to send an address then I can redo the draw.

Happy shopping!

Wallio · Post by **Wallio** » 22 Oct 2015, 14:18

Cool. PM replied to.

SuperAguri · Post by **SuperAguri** » 26 Oct 2015, 22:05

Quick update...

Everyone except Faustus and AdrianSutil have sent me addresses, have emailed them both and will give them to November the 1st, if they have not replied by then, then I shall redo the draw and send people addresses.
