Secret Santa Sign-Ups 2011!!!! CLOSED!  

post #1 of 374
Thread Starter 
RELEASE THE GNOMES & LLAMAS!!!!!

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 gift to arrive in time for December 25th, please do not sign up.*
2. Be at least 18 years old as of the close of registration.
3. Have 300 or more posts by August 29th, 2011 (today).
4. Been a member for 6 months as of the close of registration (in other words have registered in March 2011 or earlier).
5. In the interest of fairness and familiarity, you must have made at the minimum 15 posts between March 1st, 2011 and August 1st, 2011.
6. OR be a Subscribing Member, which would overrule #3, #4 and #5. There will be NO exceptions to these rules.

*Please note: Except for extraordinary circumstances, such as natural disasters, if gifts are not received by your recipient in a timely manner, or at all, you will not be eligible to participate in the future.


You have until September 25th, 2011 to sign up. No further registrations will be allowed after that date.


To sign up, please send an email to tcs.secretsanta@gmail.com.

In your email please include the following:

~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. You will receive an email with your recipient's information within a few days after sign ups have ended.

The upper price limit is $15-20 USD, NOT INCLUDING SHIPPING. As of August 29th, 2011, this converts to: 14.18–18.91 AUD, 14.71–19.62 CAD, 10.34–13.79 EUR, 9.16–12.22 GBP. Check here http://www.oanda.com/currency/converter/ 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 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. You can request a certain kind of shipping, but there is no guarantee that it will be used due to availability, price, etc.

Thank you and let's have a WONDERFUL Secret Santa this year!!!

As usual stupid me can NOT find where/how to sign up . I am not even sure if I qualify for that matter . But if I qualify and somone wants to PM me where to send the e-mail and the questions that need to be answered I would be glad to do it.
post #21 of 374
ummmmmmmmm

Do I have enough posts? (in the time frame)

I know I haven't been on a lot and my life is, ummm, upsidedown. But I love SS, and have some things put away. It would mean the world to me if I can do it..... I could use some smiles

I'll put my info in and hope.
The only issue is that there may be an address change, but I will know at least 2wks before the change.

In the first post of this thread lists the email addy.... and all the info required

The only requirement I do not know if you have met is
5. In the interest of fairness and familiarity, you must have made at the minimum 15 posts between March 1st, 2011 and August 1st, 2011.

(but that can be avoided if you are a paying member)

Hope that helps.
