It's that time again!! Please read the following before sending your email.
In order to participate, you must:
1. Be serious about participating and committed to sending out your gift. If you are either logistically or financially unable to ship your SS to arrive in time for December 25th, please do not sign up. (We mention this only because in the past we've had people sign up, and not follow through, and that's so disappointing for the person who did their part, and then doesn't receive a gift. And being left waiting until way after Christmas is almost as bad as not getting a gift at all, since it leaves a person on the sidelines, watching all the fun happen without him/her.)
2. Be at least 18 years old.
3. Have 300 or more posts.
4. Have been a member for 6 months as of the close of registration, in other words have registered in March 2007 or earlier.
5. OR be a Subscribing Member, which would overrule #3 and #4.
You have until September 14th to sign up. No further registrations will be allowed after that date.
To sign up, please send an email to [email protected]. In your email please include:
~TCS Username
~Real Name
~Mailing Address
~Are you willing to ship overseas/to another country?
~Hints for your Secret Santa, including but not limited to: t-shirt size, favorite colour, food/fragrance likes/dislikes, anything you collect (within the price range), your kitty's likes/dislikes, and any other hints you think would be helpful.
We will send you confirmation (from the above email address) that we received your email. If you do not receive a confirmation email within 2 days, please resend your information.
Each person will receive one member as their Secret Santa recipient. Shortly after the sign up ends, you will receive an email with your recipient's information.
The upper price limit is $15-20 (USD), NOT INCLUDING SHIPPING. As of August 12, 2007, this converts to: 10.95-14.60 EUR, 7.40-9.90 GBP, 15.80-21.10 CAD, 17.75-23.65 AUD. Check here for additional currency conversions. Please note: this amount isn't set in stone; it's just mentioned here as a guideline. It's normal for some people to spend more, but no one is obligated to.
A note about shipping: You should check your shipping options for the destination as soon as you have your SS name, so that you can make the best decision about when and how to ship -- for instance, the "slow boat" option for overseas shipping is no longer offered by USPS, so you'll have more time to shop, but it will cost more to ship overseas. There may be other changes, too, so be sure to check well in advance.
Let the fun begin!!
