SDN Secret Santa: Summer 2018 Edition

(SUMMER 2018 EDITION)​

The Dealio
Due to popular demand and success last year, Trilt and Filly's idea of secret santa is back for round two! Yes, you're thinking 'but it's June...' and we don't care. Presents are always fun. This round, there will be a semi-official focus on gifts for the pets in our lives. Don't have a pet or your pet doesn't need anything else? Never fear, you can still participate...your santa will just get something for you! This time, myself (@JaynaAli) and @cdoconn are your moderators.

For those not familiar with the idea, Secret Santa is a gift exchange where you are anonymously matched to another participant and buy them a gift. Of course, the fun part is, you also receive a gift from anonymous Secret Santa who has extensively researched your preferences (aka the survey form we will send out) and picked out something juuussst right. (Read more here if you're unfamiliar).

The Rules & Expectations
If you sign up, you are expected to send a gift... or one of the participants will be sad and left out. Don't do this. Last year I believe everyone who signed up participated, so there are high standards. You may be publically shamed if you sign up and don't send a gift. 😛

Obviously, we will need your address for this. This information will not be distributed to anyone else beyond your Secret Santa.

Suggested gift value is approximately $20; there is no limit, per se, nor are you required to spend that much - just generally try and be reasonable. 🙂 Handmade gifts are awesome!

If you sign up and are not an SDN regular, please toss @JaynaAli and @cdoconn a PM just confirming your interest. We want to include everyone but don't want anyone to sign up on a whim then never follow through.

The Deadlines
Signups are closed.

We will obviously be sending out confirmatory PMs with more information, but would like gifts to be shipped by July 22nd. After they are sent we would like a tracking number to pass to the recipient, or if not, at least a PM with a heads up that it was shipped. Again, more info on specifics after sign-ups but just want to set basics.

You will be randomly paired. International people welcome...there is a question regarding whether you are willing to ship internationally so let us know if you're willing and we'll make sure things (semi)"randomly" work out accordingly.

Matches pending...

Debating on if I want to sign up or not....... my dog doesn’t really like things (except naps and is picky about treats) and I don’t really need anything else to pack up before I move

Well, last year @Karabiner13 sent me baked goodies which you can eat before you move...
For real though, you have a week to figure it out. We'd love to have you participate though!

The caulk or spackle question always scares me despite not knowing it's true meaning.

 

[Melchizedek]

You

may be publically shamed if you sign up and don't send a gift.​

Yes mistress

 

[finnickthedog]

I'm debating signing up.

You may be publically shamed if you sign up and don't send a gift. 😛

I was going to be offended because shaming is my job... but I'm pretty Jayna is my child anyways so she can inherit the shaming empire.

Yes mistress

But also, I'm here to shame Mel's post on it's own merits. Shame!

Oh yes empress, more! SHAME ME MORE!

What if your secret Santa sent your dog an otter costume? [emoji848]

Sent from my SM-G892U using SDN mobile

 

[Melchizedek]

Yes mistress

On a different note, its posts like these that make me realize I'd never be able to run for public office. Too many skeletons they'd dig up during the vetting process...

 

[DVMDream]

It is looking like I'm going to be sending gifts to myself.

Come on, slackers, join the fun!

I’m currently reading responses and my favorite one is the response to caulk vs spackle

“I make holes. I don’t fix them”

Thanks for the reminder, I filled it out the other day and my internet crapped out and I meant to redo it. But now it is done. 👍

Sure why not? My cat always could use a new present (though he usually likes the cardboard boxes gifts come in best haha)
