abhi90 Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Hello. Let me welcome you again to this year's iteration of Secret Santa 2012 :egyptian:/> After Diwali, let's prepare for Christmas, in Gangnam Stlye :dance:/> This year the Secret Santa thread has been opened earlier than usual because of numerous requests in the previous year that sometimes sourcing just the right gift for your designated person takes time specially when it comes to gifts that are ordered from online stores. For the uninitiated, here's how Secret Santa works: 1) Every interested person has to read the OP and the guidelines(given below) carefully. 2) If you can adhere to the time-frame, then hop on and post your names in this thread. 3) Send me a PM with your complete address with mobile number. Title the PM to be "Secret Santa 2012" or something related 4) After the deadline for submitting names is over, I'll hold a lucky draw and every entrant will be assigned a person. 5) The person should send the gift to his designated target so that the recipient receives the gift just before Christmas. Note: If A is the Secret Santa of B, it does NOT mean that B is the Secret Santa of A. In some rare cases it may be the case but in most cases it won't. Guidelines for Secret Santa: 1) This is all about the strong bond we share in the community 2) Please Don't tell anyone, even who isn't participating, about your target for Secret Santa, no IVGian atleast 3) It is preferable and makes the gift that extra bit sweet if the gift is a researched one and not a generic one. 4) Gift Wrapping along with a card is encouraged, but not mandatory. 5) MOST IMPORTANT: The gift should be NEW, whatever it is, it shouldn't be a used one. 6) The gift should be chosen according to the person's likes or dislikes 7) Take appropriate buffer so that your target get's his gift just before Christmas, preferably in the range of 21-24th December I've participated all three times in this event and this tradition was started way back in 2009 by m-JeRi Here are the previous Secret Santa thread is anyone wants to read through them. 2009 thread 2010 thread 2010 gifts thread 2011 thread Tips for Secret Santa: 1) Login anonymously so that your target cannot go into his/her profile and see who is researching him for gifts et all 2) If you're really stumped and can't think of an appropriate thing to send then as a last resort PM ME and ONLY ME, I'll ask your target as to what would he prefer. 3) There's no price range for gifts, it's all about the happiness you can share with another IVGian 4) A separate thread shall be started and integrated into the OP at an appropriate time, you should post your gift along with who sent it. I clearly remember all the times I've played this game and along with several other IVGians have made some friends for life while playing. Hope this year is a success too. Enjoy P.S: What should be the last date for submitting names, around 15th December as usual or do you want to prepone it to around 30th Nov? Feel free to post your doubts in here. EDIT: Gifts thread is now LIVE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GOAT Valentino Rossi46 Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Repped mate. I joined in this forum recently. So, didnot know anything about such thread! But, "This is best thread I have ever seen" in this forum after joining! You cant express the happiness in any form once the loved one recieves the gift but they won't have any idea who has sent it! I dont have a chance to rep you again but if there is I would have done it for atleast 100 times! Keep up the good work mate! Also I hope I will senf gift to someone or receive from some one!

Bird Bird Bird Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 In Abhi. PM sent ! Also I would suggest to do the randomization earlier this year (say by 5th December or so) so that we have adequate time for arranging the gifts.
