Navo I don't think it works like that in this town. I have met a lot of EX here and no CURRENT. That stuff happens in IDAHO.

No pun intended although there definitely IS one. :bigsmurf:
 
Im real surprised that more people are not siging up for this....

In a nutshell, you send a Holiday gift(($25ish) to someone and somebody sends you a Holiday gift. The secret part is you will know who your recipient is, but they don't. I just collect mailing addresses and wishlists,pass the info on to the participants and watch the fun unfold.

So, for example: Nando sends a gift to orange, orange sends a gift to Northwinds, NW sends to Nando, etc.

I'll play along. What do you need - real name & mailing address?

If the sender picks the recipient, what prevents that recipient from being picked by more than one sender? I thought a "Secret Santa" drew a name from a hat or in this case, would be told who to send a gift to.

I guess the nature of a gift is up to the imagination of the sender.
 
Doug picks the names out of something then assigns the sender to the recipient, and really, really tries to keep it a secret...

Glad to hear! Please PM me with your name and mailing addy, maybe a couple of "toys" you wouldn't mind getting from your Secret Santa. If you have a public Amazon Wishlist, feel free to send me a link to that.

Gonna give people a bit more time to sign up. After that, I will hook everybody up with their lucky recipient via a name- out- of- the- hat kinda deal.
 
I'll play of I don't get reamed for not sending the gift. See I tried on Th's X2 years in a row and got pick to send the gift to Canada. Well Nando can attest to this anyways. So back to the story...... The second year I got hit again with sending to Canada and Tried to send the gift X2 and never made it.:angryfire:
So I'll play as long as I don't get reamed for not sending one. Package came back as no address twice so I gave up. If I do get chosen to send a package to a foreign land we will have to figure a way for me to get it there. If this sounds to difficult then count me out. Sorry not trying to be a party pooper....:happy2:

Robert: Your parcel might have come a little late, but I wasn't disappointed when your gifts arrived.

Yes indeed Kevin, your timing was perfect and you collaborated with another member to nail down some key information to surprise me with a gift I hadn't been expecting.

Nando.
 
SEE......... Nando has spoken......
Maybe I'm just jinksed :angryfire:
I don't like to apply to do something and then for some reason it seems to fall through. It pisses me off.
Especially if the other person is waiting for something and then does not receive it. I myself could care less, in that matter, if it happens to me though. Hey its the story of my life I'm used to it......:happy3:
