OH NO! 2022 Secret Santa targets on the way! - See post
« on: October 02, 2022, 05:08:30 PM »
That’s right!  Dead serious about starting on time and not being a rush job this year!  No one had to remind me either.

Rules:
*  Don't tell anyone who you have.  If you need gift ideas, PM me and I will contact your SS, or you can post suggestions for yourself in this thread once the matchmaking is done.
*  Gifts should be around $30 not including shipping.
*  Plan on shipping your gift at least a week before someone's "Need by" date.  Different people might have different dates, be courteous to your recipient.  This includes being late, try not to be too late.
*  Pictures or video of you opening is required.  Video preferred.
*  There is a minimum "notoriety" requirement.  Due to my lack of activity, I will defer decisions of new people to a counsel of trusted users.  In all but two cases, the person who fails to give a gift is a newbie.  A repeat of several years ago non-participants is unacceptable.
*  You must provide me with tracking information.  I have two suggestions to do this and one for keeping shipping down:
1) Buy from Amazon or other online vendor that provides you a tracking number.  HOWEVER, they will ship it fast, so if you want to go that route, send the participant a card with a letter (which some of us do anyway), and send it a week before you order.  Address it to the person and their handle so they know it is from DTF.  In the letter state their gift will come direct from the vendor(s) and have fun with the rest.
2)  USPS isn't that bad usually, I have sent things three day for about $10 in the past.  Make sure you have a tracking number to give me if I ask for it.

* If you have Nick, send it by FedEx.  He will appreciate it  ;D

It's been a long time since I've brought forth the banhammer, but I'm close.

I'll send you my new address for this year's festivities, but my assumption is FedEx will continue to be awful there.

Holy shit... you're like a month early!  I'll probably still need to remind Admiral Jackbar.

With a few people having to temporarily bow out it seems, looks like I need to step up my recruitment efforts.

Should add that I plan to be out of town the entire last week of the year, so a need by date would probably be around Dec 21/22. I'll be skipping town very shortly after that. Before Christmas.

I will be sending assignments soon.  There is one person I am awaiting to hear from so I have assignments with and without said person.  If said person is not in, it only affects one other pairing so that is the one person who might have to wait a day for their person.

Also, considering how long this has been running, I can only guarantee you will have someone you haven't had since 2015.  I tried to avoid other conflicts.

If your address has changed, please let me know - other than Nick who I already got.

Not particularly picky.
Archer, Bob's Burgers, Rick & Morty, Tolkien, Rush (but there's little to no music I don't already have)...I'm easy and difficult at the same time.

Oh hi guys, I'm here! :eyebrows:

Umm as for ideas I'm actually trying to downsize a bit on "stuff" so things I can eat or drink are especially good- I love craft beer, good cawfee (especially darker roasts), cheese, garlic, sweets, hot sauces and weird condiments, really almost anything but not much of a meat eater.
As for fun things/interests- cats (I have two), nuns, jackalopes, books (Gaiman and Murakami are some faves), film, and of course Our Lord and Savior Nicolas Cage (but I do have a LOT of stuff with his face on it so you have to get weird if you're gonna go that route).
Oh Jackie, always jumping to the most homoerotic possibility.

I am not going to post any list this time, as Antoine said to Ratatouille: "surprise me"

Once thing though, to avoid receiving my secret santa gift in February (remember that I am receiving it in Miami in a freight forwarding company) I would need it to be received in Miami no later than December 16th, if before that date MUCH better that way I can arrange with them so I can actually get the SS gift on Christmas time.

I hope this is not an inconvenience to my SS.

Always looking for something to make me laugh. Shirt size is XXL if you go that route.

One thing I'm very light on is Red Wings gear, so that's probably the best way to go if you're unsure.
