Season's greetings, everyone! With Halloween just a day away, it's time to start our preparations for our fifth annual FE Secret Santa! Due to the good feedback we had, we will once again be using the website Elfster to help organize the gift exchange. Elfster is a site that will serve as a our hub as it assigns the Secret Santas, allows for wish lists and anonymous chats to help find the perfect gift. I will be posting a link on the bottom of this post. Do keep in mind that you will need to fill out your personal info for mailing information on this site however, only your Secret Santa will see this info. If you're still uncomfortable with that, I will be happy to serve as the middle man as I have years prior.
Absolutely anyone and everyone is free to participate. You will have until November 14th to sign up on the Elfster website. That gives you a little over two weeks. Secret Santas will then be assigned the very next day, so don't delay!
Couple of notes:
* The golden rule: Do not be a flake! We've only ever had one instance of someone not getting their gift but I don't really want to see that happen again.
* Keep your identity a secret! The fun of this is that nobody knows who they are getting their gifts from. You are free to reveal yourselves after everything is wrapped up, however there are still people out there who do not know their Secret Santa.
* There is no spending limit. You can get whatever you want to get.
* If you do not want a gift, do not participate.
* As tradition, I will be posting a video at the end of it all revealing gifts and reactions. You are certainly not required, but encouraged to film yourselves opening or enjoying your gifts. Even for you camera shy folks, Moose literally filmed her computer screen for 15 seconds because she got Game of Thrones as a Steam gift and Chris only filmed his arm! Please do not post reaction videos in this thread, PM them to me privately.
Post in this thread if you do sign up and a very.... Merry Christmas?
EVERYONE
DO A FUCKING REACTION/UNGIFTING VIDEO THIS YEAR
EVEN IF YOUR FACE ISN'T IN IT
AND DON'T POST IT IN THIS THREAD
thanks
This! We had a really good turn out last year which made for a fun video. The more, the better.
Even if you open your gift accidentally or don't want to show your face, there are ways. Check the videos above for some inspiration. Boc had a fun video without showing his face and already opening his gift in the second one.
If we have an Elfster account already, is there somewhere to sign up for this specific year? Will it be evident when we log in? Should I have looked before asking this?
