BUNNYS SECRET SANTA ROUND 2

[jdcarpe]

as i just said to someone through pm

and in regards to tiers and such

if people are concerned about what they have to send and values and such, none of that matter, what i and some people may take for granted is, we may have people or family around us at christmas, but i can guarantee that wont be the case for everyone who takes part in this, no matter what it is you send, tthere will be some people that take part in this that no matter what it is they get, it will make them happier than some people who take part could ever know

yes some people may send the bare minimum, some people will go wildly overboard, but to some people, its not gonna be what is in their package that counts, but that someone out their has sent something just to them

and i think that is something really great

Exactly this. What one person sends really has nothing to do with what another sends. What you receive should have no factor in what you send. If you don't have the means (or inventory) to send a "commodity" item, sending a handwritten note to your recipient, with a heartfelt sentiment of your feeling toward them is just as valid as a gift.

Hopefully my santa has a sense of humor.

New WTT Thread: My Secret Santa for JD

[nubbinator]

I'm kinda afraid. I hope the someone doesn't get disappointed by me

I wouldn't worry about it.  The idea of this is the giving.  It is not about the $$ value, but rather the thought and getting a gift from someone in a community that you care about.

It's just that last time it seems people were giving clacks and **** and I cannot do that

Honestly, some of my favorite gifts I've ever gotten are cheap things that someone made for me.  I still have a crappy caricature a friend did of me because it's funny and reminds me of them.  And there are awesome mix CDs I've gotten that were tailored to me that meant a ton to me.  Yeah, getting something expensive or rare is often cool, but getting something made with your interests in mind often has even more sentimentality and awesomeness attached to it. 

Every Secret Santa I've ever done always has the one person who goes out and buys something expensive and crazy and over the top, always has those handful of people who half ass it, and always has those couple of people who spent almost nothing, but got to know their Secret Santa and handcrafted them stuff with uplifting and honest notes.  Over time, those people who bought the expensive stuff tend to be forgotten, but those that took the time to learn something about their Secret Santa ended up being the most memorable and awesome Secret Santa that person has ever had. 

In the end, it's not the value of what you send so much as the thoughtfulness of what you send.

Just hope most of the people involved think like that

Geekhack is serious business.  No funny here.

Just hope most of the people involved think like that

I think most the people in the Secret Santa do, at least most of the older members in it.  There are always freeriders, but most the people in this should be going in with the right attitude.

[infiniti]

Filled up the form!

Bunny, when you said "your package must be marked from secret santa" in the OP, you meant on the gift itself and not the sender info on the package, right?  I don't think I can send a package internationally with a fake name  )

yeah all will be revealed new years day

my plan is for people to post a pic of the package or something when it arrives, then everyone to open on christmas, and they then have from christmas to new years to find time to get a pic up, then the big reveal, once i have given everyone there santa, i will pop another form up in the op, for people to put there tracking number into and the link of which that tracking can be done, and i will then be able to update anyone on where there package is if so needed, and chase up packages that need to go out etc

[TheFlyingRaccoon]

Sorry for the delay, I will fill out the form ASAP!
