All right, 'festers. It's that time of year again. Let's do the Sinfest Secret Santa Swap!!

If you're interested, please PM me the following:

Your Name
Your Address
If you're willing to ship internationally (this is only for USians, sorry)
Allergies, if any

Sign ups will end 30 November. That's about 11 days from now.

On 1 December, the names will be written on slips of paper, tossed in a convenient container, and pulled and assigned to Santas. The Santas will receive PMs from me with the name and address of their Santee that same day. Then, let the Swap begin!

Limit $20. Be fun. Be creative. Be aware of the ups and downs of shipping. Try to get your present to your Santee by Giftmas, if possible, or Twelfth Night. (delays due to shipping are acceptable) You can sign your presents or you can make your Santee guess. When you get your present, please post pictures in this thread.

Why the hell not? Under $20? Yeah, I can think of a few things.

please to add me, just spotted this thread, will send details tomorrow

a study that I saw said peeps actually get a greater enjoyment/pleasure from giving gifts of about $20 value than they do from spending that same on themselves

Come on, Snorri, sign up! Make it an even ten. (-: It's just after 1pm here, so you all have 11 hours to sign up!

If I get Snorri I will send him comic books and cakes made of comic books and also drugs made out of cakes.

There, that should entice the tricky bugger.

Aaaand, names have been assigned according to my whims. (actually, I just wrote your names on scraps of paper and in a list on an index card, tossed the scraps in a bowl and went down the list, pulling one scrap per name on the list (and hoped that no one got themselves or something they got in previous years)) Everyone who PM'd me should have a PM from me in their inbox.

Let the Swap begin!
