Secret Santa 2019

[QualityChimp]

Merry Christmas!

The time has come again for the Bordersdown Secret Santa!

Participants this year are:
@QualityChimp
@Zaki
@teddymeow
@Blobcat
@gambit6613
@fuse
@Nu-Eclipse
@KIT786
@Mayhem
@ItsThere

No word either way yet from previous participants:
@Brad
@Lebowski
@Colin
@DaytimeDreamer

I will have a look at the forms and get them sent out to you all, so I'll need them filled in to proceed.

There are no international participants this year, so there's a little wriggle room, but getting sorted sooner rather than later is preferable for all.

I will randomly allocate people's personage and email all participants with the name and address of their recipient. Once you receive you recipient , I suggest you post your gift as early in December as possible to ensure arrival for the big day.

Gift price guide is around £10 - £15, but should you wish to spend more, that is up to you.

The boring bit: Fulfilment of participants in the Secret Santa transactions is neither legally binding to myself or Bordersdown.net, by using the form you agree to this statement.

Please do your best to find something delightful as a gift, forum stalking is recommended, PM me if you are really struggling to think of something.

Use this thread to post some of the stuff you're interested in for a bit of steerage, but it doesn't have to be what's listed, as long as it's a good present.

If you're involved, post below some of the things you like to give your Santa a helping hand.
Let's do this properly, gang, when it's done right, this is amazing and giving a sweet present is as fun as receiving.

There's a solid history of AMAZING gift giving here on the forum, so let's keep that tradition up, chums!

I'll sort out a form closer to the end date for you all to fill in with your details.
Obviously, GDPR stuff means I'll need your addresses, but I'll delete them as soon as everyone has received their gifts.

Please let me know when you've sent and received your presents.

Photos of the present when you open them on Christmas day is mandatory!

Thanks again to all taking part!
