halter91 Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 This is just an idea not sure if it would work here, but A softball message board I belong does does a thing called Secret Santa. How it works is you sign up and you are assigned a random person to buy a X mas gift for, same thing someone has you. You give them you interested, shirt sizes, whatever you like. Might be something to think about, although it is kind of late. I've done it 2 years in a row and got some great stuff. Last year, I got a 1 PS2 game, 2 DVD, a shirt, hat, some bat tape and some other odds and ends. This year i did it and my Secret Santa wasted no time, I got a 3 time Super Bowl Champ Redskins hat the other day, also a 50 dollar gift card for Cabela's. He said I still have something else on the way. It is also capped at 35 bucks, but my SS obviously went over board. What do you guys think??

zoony Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 I'm game... but whoever gets me is going to be pissed about shipping costs. I think we should cap it though... say $25-50 or something. Whatever, sounds cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blondie Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Great idea. But how would this work? Who does the assigning? When is the sign up date? ETC. Blondie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skins24 Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 $35 X 45,000 = $1,575,000 There's no way to be everyone's secret Santa is there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And one person buys for you... (if I understand correctly) Obviously this would only be open to people who were / are interested.. and say so in this thread. I think. :paranoid: ...

Grumpy Vet Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 I'd certainly be up for this.....if we kept the dollar value reasonable and could ship the items, I think it would be pretty fun. Would it be just Redskin items? One would think. I'd guess there would need to be an "organizer" for this that would list all the participants. This person would then randomly draw numbers and inform everyone who they had via PM. The time I've done it before - it was kind of fun to guess who had you.....but some of us ran into problems w/ the post office as we tried to disguise where the packages came from and were cryptic w/ return addresses.

Monte51Coleman Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 I would be willing to be an organizer if needed. I would also suggest that the $$ limit be reasonable so that many people could be involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RabidFan Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Include the shipping cost in the gift ceiling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissU28 Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 I'll do it Sounds like fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heidenreich Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 I would do it too. Plus my gift would be easy (if the range is $20) They don't have those black R hats in my neck of the woods. And now me being too lazy to order one online may pay off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halter91 Posted November 10, 2005 Author Share Posted November 10, 2005 I guess since I started it I could run it. Let me gets some rest and I'll post the rules tomorrow. I'll set up an E mail address for you all to e mail me your info and such. I will post tomorrow by lunch, unless my boss makes me work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
