I thinking about this the other day actually.

Don't we have to wait for the Santa Clause alias to do tho? I know who it is but not sure I'm allowed to say. Or do we all know who it is now so it doesn't matter?

i thought nastee was mrs secret santa...sometimes anyway?? but i don't know that for sure, and if someone else is traditionally sorting this,awesome. i don't really WANT to do it, just thinking we hadn't talked about it yet- not that i've been here much

Adam

Yes, I don't want to do it either but if a link appears I'll click it and join in.

Hey there sugar tits, how did you find your way out of the cellar?

Adam
11-23-2010, 10:28 AM
I did it - sorry santa, but you're not around.

SIGN UP HERE!!!! (http://www.elfster.com/exchange/view/4294636/)


it's that time of year again. let's see this fail on its arse because of the FYE-NAN-SHUL CRISIS!

we're using elfster like we did last year. it is easy to use, you can ask questions anonymously of your giftee, and it's completely random.

the sign up deadline is 03 december. you will receive your person after this date. you can ask them questions, all sorts of shit. INTERNET.

this santa will not have any control over who gets who but will be able to see who got who after the date if they so wish, so if you sign up and do not send a present, they will forcibly insert a lump of coal into your anus.

when you sign in/up to elfster remember to put your address in your profile, or else no one can send you a chuffin' present. don't worry, only your secret santa can see your address. to turn off email alerts, as they are probably very annoying, go to you > update profile (put your address here) > mail preferences > disable email notifications.

try to include an indication of your username in your profile somewhere, or post here.

dear sweet jesus i can't believe it's nearly christmas. OLD.

let the gifting commence (or not) :(

As the quote says from last year. Its the same procedure but a few edits made as I made the cut off 3rd December.

edit II: That was easier create that it was to reply here about the thought of starting it.

So whoever I got, it's gonna cry later.:DHow much money can we spend? I don't know many people in here, so I don't even know if someone is a girl or a boy, a man or a woman.

MSF - I think I set the max gift limit at £10. Or $10USD but it only has to be cheap. If you can only afford $1 then do that, the postage is often more than the gift and it's only a bit of fun.

just skip over it/hit 'no thanks' or whatever option they give you. you should be able to do everything through the elfster site.

I signed up to that elfster place. How does it work?

Adam, £10 buys more than $10. It's about 1.5 more money in REAL real terms.

Am I splitting hairs? :o

Another thing, is it possible for you to match us up with people we're likely to know, or does Elfster randomly generate people for you?

Elfster matches you with a random person. Last year I spent more than $10...but that was just what I wanted to do. I think it's cool getting someone you don't know!

Adam
11-24-2010, 10:31 AM
venus - it is more, but I think relative wealth and common sense should come through. There is nothing stopping someone just getting a gift but not sending one and thus making £10/$10 in materialistic goods, but that'd make them a bad person and I don't think many of us are bad people.

Yeah, there was an option to send to all from last year, so I did. Didn't realise it shows as from me but I was the one who pressed 'go' on the spam tho :-)

That's right! Oh, and we need to create a name for the group, because that's what the site asks for. Adam...

I can't find anything else to name. The group of people joining is called BBMB, the gift exchange is called 2010 BBMB Secret Santa. I'm learning by doing tho, haven't read the FAQs or anything so if something is broken I'll look into.

OK, but please can you tell me how to use elfster? How do I find BBMB? I click on Groups and it says "you're not a member of a group". :confused:

If you can add me to the group that would be good. Same username as here.

Hmmms, I dunno. I've looked and can't seem to find anything.

http://www.elfster.com/exchange/view/4294636/ is the url for the group. I can't see any restrictions of people not being able to join on the options. And people can only be added by accepting to join that group (I think).

Thanks for the link, but it just takes me to the homepage.

I searched the help area and the answer is that you are supposed to send a link to people and invite them.
Hope this link doesn't send you to the homepage!

Edit; sorry. I think I missed a bit out on the original sign up link (which I can no long edit that post). I think it has effected those whose have signed up to Elfster for the first time - so if it is your first time, please check the above link and make sure you're on it... I suck at this.

It's about 30 reais + 5-10 reais (the mail, I guess) = 45 reais is not much. It depends on who's getting the gift though. A bad person won't get anything up to 1 real! hihihiiiiiii!

^I had a cat once we used to play cat-a-roo on. We could get loads on it before it moved - mobile phones, remotes, joypads, CDs, shoes - pretty much anything. It basically thought it was getting attention I think and thus stood (or I suppose sat) for it. Some pets are just that stupid.

OK I just want to say to my giftee that I'm sorry I have been so crap about this but I have your gift and it's wrapped and I've gone to two different post offices here to try to mail it but they both told me (as far as I can make out in my bad Chinese) they 'don't do that kind of mail here' and I have to go to a special post office, except no one seems to know where this special post office is exactly. If it exists. But I will keep trying. Anyway, your gift will be less of a Christmas gift and more of a Chinese New Year gift. Hope that's OK.

I haven't received anything yet! But that's ok because Ukrainian xmas isn't until next week...

I sent mine almost 3 weeks ago so I have no idea why my person hasn't received their gift? :confused:

same here. I sent mine almost 2 weeks ago and the person hasn't said if they received it yet. I hope the post office didn't screw it up!

I sent mine in December 18th, so, through the post office site, it says it was posted and sent to São Paulo in the same day and that's it. No more info so far.:(

I sent mine a couple weeks ago too. I hope it has been received.

me too. There have been a lot of postal delays in Britain due to the big freeze, so I imagine a parcel going to the other side of the world would perhaps take a month?

Awesome. I sent it so late I thought it wouldn't be there until the new year. Glad you liked, was kinda paranoid it was a bit sucky as it was more an impulse buy :o

that spatula is so awesome. I actually saw it at the gift shop at my hospital and thought about buying it for my person!

Haha, awesome! I'm so glad you got it. I love that thing. I found it first for a white elephant thing and it was sooooo the best thing there. Then I decided to get it for you because your Santa profile thing said that you collect cookware and it seemed perfect. I was going to get one for myself as well but yours was... the last one. Enjoy rocking out while frying up those eggs.

I got my package on Friday and it was from the lovely venus!

She sent me lots of amazing tea, yummy lip balm, chocolates (which are gone already) and most importantly hamster treats for my hammy AND A FREAKING HAMSTER HAMMOCK (http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31ZK2WXGD8L._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

I will set up the hammock tonight and post some pics of it in action soon.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

You'd think the post between us commonwealth countries would be faster though, tsk tsk.

I am soooo relieved!!!

Glad you like the chocolate. I can't even remember what type it was now! I do remember thinking sending you Burts Bees lip balm was a bit like sending you maple syrup, but eh, saw it and thought of you :D

Looking forward to the hammy pics! :cool:

Because I can see who has who (since I was the create event person) I can assure you that they have announced in this thread they have sent it. Hopefully it'll get there some day like you say.

Maybe we should start it in about August next time. A count down to Christmas from then I'm sure everyone will love, right?

good! :)

yee haw! thanks again roby for the chocolate and doll and tiny mug and tiny alarm clock. I hooked it on my purse, and I'm quite certain that strangers love it too.

the mail service is AWFUL in my city. like the worst in the country, no joke. My mom sent me a christmas package and an envelope on december 5th, and I didn't get the package until the beginning of january. and that was after she called the post office to inquire and they told her they couldn't find it anywhere. then it just kinda "showed up" 2 days later. the envelope was sent back to her with the address blacked out for some reason. so, she sent the envelope (empty, she kept the contents to give to me when I'll see her later this month) back to the post office with a letter to the supervisor asking why it happened and why the package went missing...and then they sent the empty envelope to me, blacked out address and all. So I was all, "omg! somebody stole my gift card!" at first, and called my mom and she was like, "no, they're just idiots".

hope you get your present!


and adam, sorry again, you'll get your easter eggs yet. :o

ALL RIGHT I am outing myself, I am sorry, it's me and I meant to send it in early Jan but I moved some stuff in my apartment and put it on a shelf and then totally forgot about it and just found it today when I was looking for my kid's bike helmet. PLEASE PLEASE FORGIVE ME and I will get it out tomorrow I PROMISE.

WHAT THE HELL I SENT MY PRESENT TO YOU LIKE DECEMBER 12th MSF.

Some dickhole obviously stole it, or perhaps it is sitting at your local branch of the post office because maybe your apartment buildings little mail box thingies didnt fit it? Did you try stopping in there and see if they are holding a package for you?

Its not a huge package, but it was a larger than regular sized padded envelope that was white and had xmas drawings on it.

WTF.

I spent alot of time picking out your lil prezzies, I also tried only sending stuff that was made locally or in Canada at the very least. Lip balm and chocolate and soap and hot chocolate and a mix cd ARGHHHHHHH :( :( :(

Not to mention that it cost me almost 20 bucks in postage.

Call your local post office, all is not lost!
