4th annual b&r secret santa

[SFG75]

If you are curious, you may peruse these threads to see how it has been run in the past. Link, link, and link

How does it work?-You PM me your snail mail. You then receive an e-mail from me as to who you are a secret santa for. You get that person a book and send it to them. you may enclose a card or something else if you so desire.


When will this start?-As soon as I get names and addresses. We can set a "launch date" but others may mail sooner or later if they so desire. Hey, people are busy right? If you send later, just contact me and I'll let your secret santa know that the goods are on the way. Ditto if you mail sooner.

What is the point?
-You get to post pad quite a bit. :lol: It's fun to get to know others, and its fun to see what everyone got.

How will I know what the person likes?
PM me and I'll find out for you from the person. Also, click on their threads and see what they like.

So, who is in?

P.S.-If anyone is detail oriented and is super organized, I would appreciate any offered help. Please apply within by sending me a PM.

Oh yeah, don't forget to select a "target date" in the poll created above. That is our "go" time date to send items. Yes, it is the holiday season. You may select more than one option.

Looks like we are having a postal strike here in the UK, so I will have to sit this out, otherwise I'd love to take part, it sounds like a lovely idea.

Good luck with it!

O.K., NottheDoctor is in. I know folks are busy, but I'd like to get four to five more people if possible. Anyone else? Kind of hard to run a two person "secret" santa.

 

[dude]

I'll do it!

Just to elaborate on "what to get the person"... would it be easier if each person gave you a list of 5 books or so and then their secret santa could pick one of the 5? I would just hate to send someone something that they already own.

Not a problem dude. We'll have people post something like that when we get underway.

[SFG75]

PMs sent. I just need one person's addy and we are good to go.

 

[dude]

I got no PM :sad:

 

[sparkchaser]

I also did not get a PM.

 

[SFG75]

Sorry guys, I should have said I would be posting later in the day. Begin sending the books out and have fun!!

PM me if you would like for me to contact your person as to what books they may or may not have.

 

[dude]

Sent my secret stuff out today!

 

[sparkchaser]

I am still waiting for SFG75 to get back to me on my person's top 5 wish list.

 

[sparkchaser]

Got my package on Monday. Yippee!

 

[sparkchaser]

I should probably have stated what I received. Ooops. :whistling:


The Terror by Dan Simmons

Continental Drift by Russell Banks

Thanks Secret Santa (dude)!

 

[eldog]

Oh dear, am I too late? I am in Australia so maybe no one will want me anyway... :sad:

You're welcome! Hope you like 'em.

We have some members in Australia and NZ. If someone else jumps in, that would be awesome and I'd be happy to help set that up.


Anyone?.....Bueller?......Bueller?.......Bueller?

 

[eldog]

I guess not :sad:

Well, there is always next year!

Thanks for trying Scott.
