Secret Santa | 282 Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 Greetings fellow humans! It's that time of year again! It's time for us to breathe some air, drink some water, and kick off the sixth annual VGS Secret Santa! I enjoy exchanging gifts with other alive humans! If you would like to participate, please read the directions thoroughly: 1. Send Secret Santa a PM with your real name, your address, and a LIST of items that are $50 or less. The more specific the better. If I get any of these lists with all $100+ items on them, I won't even ask you for a revised list; you'll just be out of this year's Secret Santa. Because that's naughty. And not even a sexy kind of naughty. 1a. Also please indicate if you can ship internationally. It does require you to be a bit more prompt on shipping due to how long it will take to reach its destination. If you do not indicate whether or not you will ship, the default will be no. 2. Once I receive your list, you will be entered into the SS participant list. 3. Signups will end at 10:00 pm Eastern on Monday, November 11th. That's 10 days away with 2 weekends, that should be enough time to get your list in order. 4. Santa hopes to have recipients matched up and your lists sent out ASAP after signups close. 5. Once your gifts are shipped, please PM Santa with the tracking number! This is very important, so don't lose it. 6. Deadline to ship in your own country is Dec 9th. International shipping deadline is Dec 2nd. (I understand that's a quick turnaround for those with international recipients, but we also have to consider international shipping times.) If you have ANY concerns about hitting that date, it is super important to be in communication with Santa. Just keep me posted. 7. Have fun! I'll post a reveal thread Christmas morning for you to show off your goodies, but no revealing before! It's not against the rules to open your gift before Christmas, but it's fun to save it! Also, Santa has some basic rules to follow: 1. In order to participate, you must have joined VGS before this thread was made, and you must have some decent previous account activity. 2. PLAN ON BUYING SOMETHING. Don't assume you can just pull some stuff off your shelf. 3. Plan on spending a minimum of $60-75 before shipping. Take that into consideration before buying your recipient that limited edition, gold plated, KFC gaming console. If you don't want to take this seriously or plan on being a grinch, just don't sign up. 4. DO NOT MESSAGE YOUR RECIPIENT. If you have questions or need clarification, please reach out to Secret Santa. Don't ruin the surprise! 5. No public complaining about your gift/list/etc. People generally try their best with these things, but if you have a legitimate complaint, PM either Santa or VGS site staff. 6. We reserve the right to refuse Secret Santa entry to anyone. This will especially apply if you've been on Santa's naughty list before. Don't be a grinch, being such may result in your inability to participate in future years (it will also give Santa a mad headache). 7. Try to be prompt, especially with international shipping. Keep in mind that this time of year is rather difficult on postal workers; try to get stuff in before the massive rush. 8. Drop-shipping is strongly discouraged. It can be confusing to the person receiving the gift and they may just open it up early. On top of that, if the wrong thing is shipped or gets damaged due to bad seller packing, it can lead to a bummer of a Christmas gift. 9. Also we STRONGLY ask that you post in the reveal thread, to share what you received and express gratitude to your Santa for their efforts to send you something nice. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them here or send me a message. It's so exciting! I'm going to go listen to some Mariah Carey and metabolize some freshly-baked cookies! It's so great to be a human like you all. 4 3 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/15205-official-vgs-secret-santa-2024-thread-signups-closed/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
