SharkTums Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 TODAY IS THE LAST DAY TO SIGN UP FOR THIS! Read the information and directions in the first post, and PM Brandy by tonight if you'd like to participate!!!!
beyondthepalace Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 Just signed up. I am down to getting whatever is out there (penguin stuff, food items, candy, wtf ever) The tackier the better!
Inukaza Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 Already got my "inu'sfunboxoffun" packed and ready to send. Love this idea! Question, do we need to send in confirmation that it was sent?
SharkTums Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 ^We'll go over more sending details next week once everyone is confirmed.
Brandy524 Posted December 12, 2011 Author Posted December 12, 2011 Okay, guys, just confirmed the last address received. We have 37 participants. I will start sending out addresses today! I'll post in here once they start going out, so be sure to check your inbox once I've started sending them.
Brandy524 Posted December 12, 2011 Author Posted December 12, 2011 I've sent a PM and e-mail to BizzaroNumberOne. I don't have a real name or zip code. If you're reading this, please send me a message.
Brandy524 Posted December 12, 2011 Author Posted December 12, 2011 Okay, everyone, I'm about to start sending out addresses. Everyone on my list had a number, and I mixed all the numbers up then went down the list and drew a number of each person. So it's completely random. And the person who you are sending a gift to is NOT who you will receive a gift from.
Brandy524 Posted December 12, 2011 Author Posted December 12, 2011 All of the addresses have been sent out! Check your inbox! Please send me a message to confirm that you have received your address. Elissa has a master list of who got what name and she WILL enforce the rules!
Guy T. Koepp Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 I got mine. I am sending it in the mail right now. Are we allowed to say who we got. Cause the person I have will love my gift. It's as if the gods came down and struck this gift with a lightning bolt it's so perfect for this person. He He He!
disneymoc Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 I got it! Now to find the most wonderful random crap still available for the holidays!
Prettyslr Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 I got the name for my victim.... er.. giftee...
RoCo Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 Got my giftee info; thanks! Are we allowed to say who we got. Cause the person I have will love my gift. He He He! Been wondering this myself; haven't done a "Secret Santa" group effort in so long. Do we keep our identity secret from the giftee forever and ever? I kind of like that idea. Was planning on not putting my name on the return address, making sure the gift offered no clues to I am, etc. You know, keep it all "Dark Knight" and mysterious and stuff and let them wonder.
ernierocker Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 (edited) I do like the idea of people posting photos in this thread of what they got! Kind of like how everyone posts pictures of their Bags of Crap when they get it. Besides, that kind of completes the whole process of doing a Secret Santa. Getting to laugh or marvel at what everyone gets! Edited December 12, 2011 by ernierocker
Brandy524 Posted December 12, 2011 Author Posted December 12, 2011 Just a reminder from the rules: "USPS Priority Mail required. Get yourself a flat rate box and get your present mailed out by December 20." I guess revealing your identity would be up to you, but I think it's more fun if you don't! I will be sending mine anonymously.
ParkTrips Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 time to do some research on the person I got! I hope you won't mind FedEx instead of USPS - I'd rather pay more than to give the post office money
Sir Clinksalot Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 I was thinking of going anonymous too, but doesn't the USPS require a return address? Maybe we should just use TPR Headquarters as our return address if we want to be anonymous. I already have some awesome idea's for my recipient, unfortunately what I want to get only appears to be available online. Need to call around a bit to see if I can find it locally.
Guy T. Koepp Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 Hypothetically, what if you got one of the 2 people that were given the master list? How do we do this anonymously without them knowing who we are? And I say that completely hypothetically as someone in this game is bound to get one of those 2 people who have the master list. Hypothetically! Cause I wouldn't want to ruin it for anyone who might get one of the 2 people that have the master list. Completely hypothetically speaking. Cause I didn't get either of those two people. Or, did I? Guy "I'll never tell!" Koepp

cfc Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 I was thinking of going anonymous too, but doesn't the USPS require a return address? According to the USPS site, a return address is required on a Priority Mail package: http://pe.usps.com/businessmail101/addressing/returnAddress.htm. This does refer to "business" mail, though. I was just going to put my street address and leave my name off.
Inukaza Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 (edited) Got mine, and have it all packed. I have to wait til Saturday to send out. (Post office closes at 5PM, I get off work at 4:30). I will try to race there tomorrow, though. I'm not sure my giftee will enjoy my gifts of wonder, but I sure hope so. Edited December 12, 2011 by Inukaza
