I am clearly NOT a genius at Secret Santa. But if you look at the original "questionnaire" VS peoples responses, a lot of people omitted certain questions for whatever reason.

Now grant you crazy me answered all of them
, albeit not all that well in some cases
. But I did try
.

But to answer your question, no you do NOT need to answer all the questions. At least that is what I suspect
. I think if you answered some questions it might be helpful for your Secret Santa. Since as you and I know, it hard to buy for someone we do not "know".

But someone who knows more about Secret Santa sure should/could answer the question better

It's very helpful for your SS to know your interests, etc. I think that's why the list of questions is so long.
If there are any questions you don't want to answer for any reason, just leave them blank.

No rush or anything like that, but your Secret Santa might want you to fill that out somewhat soon. Why you ask
, they may need some help getting a gift for you.

I need my recipient to fill out there questionnaire, as I need all the help I can get
.

Maybe next year I will get you, since you would be much easier to shop for

Just heading out for a cat show. I'll post my hints after the weekend. Or my SS can go to last year's hints thread. Things probably haven't changed much.

(My person didn't know I was getting her a blanket...just an item for the living room.) Snoopers are great and they hold themselves to a high moral code of conduct that prevents them from revealing a Santa's true identity.
