Have we done a summer gift exchange before? If so, I'm down.

Yup, but we might need to find someone to organize it. I think nubbinator said earlier he'd like to take a break since it takes a lot of work to set these up.

nubbinator · « **Reply #2101 on:** Fri, 19 February 2016, 09:57:01 »

I'm still trying to decide. It's a fair bit if work and it's not cheap to do makeup gifts for all the people who have been screwed over the last few go arounds. At the same time, aspects of it are enjoyable.

Time to start talking about summer santa? Do we want a theme or should the theme just be be awesome?

I'm going to add a rule though, no gag/theme only gifts. It's really disappointing to open something that can't be used, so make sure it's something that others will be able to use and enjoy.

Marathoning boosh right now for a friend who hasn't seen it, so funny!

I have to remember to watch that when I'm back home!

FYI, there is usually a minimum post count for these things.

Yes, yes there is...and a membership time limit to try and weed out freeloaders. Doesn't stop them all though.

Hexterdude · « **Reply #2118 on:** Mon, 07 March 2016, 21:03:00 »

will this start in may (early summer for some us) or June (everyone should be on summer then)?

You've been banned from Secret Santa due to not sending a gift to your person last year. It's in the rules every time, if you don't send something, you'll be banned.

I think he's being sarcastic after his actions were recently brought to light again. Apparently screwing your giftee over because you don't like the organizer of the event makes you the victim of the situation. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm interested as usual. I would like to suggest a theme of sharing snacks. I know it's been a common thing to include snacks that are unique to your location along with your keyboard stuff but it would be fun to have it be the focus of the gifts.

I like this too

Just make sure the box is big enough when you ship. I included chips for my giftee during SS and the bag exploded. Still bummed out about that one.

Who wants some cheeeeeeese?

nubbinator · « **Reply #2136 on:** Tue, 08 March 2016, 09:42:43 »

Hmm, maybe make snacks a required part of it? I like the idea, but I don't want it to just be a snack exchange.

Im not a huge fan of themes.

I prefer the stalk them and find something you think theyll like approach.

Themes seem too likely to result in janky theme only gifts.
