The Official CBG 2012 Secret Santa / Holiday Gift Exchange Thread!

[Cheomesh]

This was going to wait until 1 September, but I've decided as far as these things go, it's probably better to set it up early.  Saving up, shipping, etc.

With the blessing of Nomadic, I am setting up a CBG "Secret Santa" / Winter Gift Exchange for the 2012 holiday season.  Why?  Because.

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:
1)  Read the rules (below).
2)  Post below if you are interested (see section below).  Bah, Humbug elsewhere.  Please post by 15 September, as I'll begin pairings on the 16th.
3)  Wait for me to issue you your person!

RULES:
1)  No cheating!  You don't get to know who your person is until the gift arrives, IF they want to reveal themselves.  Don't tell your person you got them!
2)  Gifts are limited in value to 50USD.  Good enough to be interesting, not excessive.
3)  No illicit/questionable/controlled things are to be exchanged.  Don't ship Vreeg wine, for example.  You have to have a license to ship alcohol.
4)  Let me know if you need to drop out before 15 November, so I can make sure everyone gets something.
5)  Mail your stuff around the first week of December.
6)  I'll be the intermediary.  Once all is settled, I'll get addresses and divvy them up to the relevant people.
7)  The week of the holidays I'll post a follow-up thread where everyone can show off their goodies, reveal who their Santa was, etc.
8)  Questions or comments?  PM me.  I don't bite.


HOW / WHAT TO POST BELOW:
Post below only if you're interested.  Please post a few details to guide your Secret Santa.  Examples include:

Hobbies and other interests (with some details, don't just say RPG's - we know this.)
Favorite colours or what-not.
Your favorite treat type(s) in case someone wants to do some home baking.
Things that are off limits (allergies, phobias etc).

Be as specific as you'd like, and remember that you're not limited to the above.  You can even post your shoe size if you want.  Mine is 6.5EEE.  I don't have feets.  They're hoves.

If you're after something in a general category, go ahead and post it (FREX board games) with any qalifiers (FREX board games BUT NOT wéiqí).  You can also just say to leave it all up to the giver.  That's probably most fun, though don't forget to put some guidance.

Any event, sign on up, wait for some names and above all have fun!
