TCS Secret Santa Season is upon us once again! If you have played before; you know we can have a lot of fun with this! We have had members from across the globe participate in past years and it's always such fun to get to know everyone better playing Santa!
Please review the rules for signing up carefully. We want this to be fun and a good experience for everyone; so the Moderating Team has tweaked things a big, as we do from time to time.
*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. And remember; SANTA is making a list, checking it twice!
You have until Monday, September 15th, 2014 to sign up. No further registrations will be allowed after that date.
To sign up, please send an email to tcs.secretsanta at gmail.com.
In your email please include the following, keeping in mind that what you type will be sent to your SS as a kind of "starter package":
~TCS Username
~Real Name
~Mailing Address
~Are you willing to ship overseas / to another country? (Please see notes below on shipping.)
~Hints for your Secret Santa, including but not limited to: t-shirt size, favorite color, 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 30th, 2014, this converts to: 16.04–21.39 AUD, 16.28 –21.71 CAD, 11.38-15.18 EUR, 9.04–12.05 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. You might also consider this when selecting your gifts. Direct shipping may save you some money on sites like Amazon or other international sites. Overseas shipping can be more expensive; but if you are creative it does not have to break the bank.
Thank you and let's have a WONDERFUL Secret Santa this year!!!
