i've already started!
Good question, since this is m first ever Secret Santa experience.
Here is the (very long) gift thread from last year.

We seem to have a lot of chocoholics here (who me?
But you never know what you will get. One year someone got some homemade items they weren't even sure they could use, but soon found them very handy.
And maybe you'll recieve a gnome bearing nuts!
(Hi, Susie!
Its worth it to read through last year's thread posted above. Its super long, but many of us post pics of our gifts and it helps a lot to know what sorts of things to send
I guess that would be better than nuts bearing gnomes!
I've just read through that whole thread. I wonder if Renovia ever got her original package?
Some of those packages look like the stocking I got for Dottie a couple of years ago. I went all over in Wal-Mart, just picking out interesting stuff. Yeah, chocolate. A snake-bite kit. A little flashlight. Some games. Sudoku books. More chocolate. And so on.

Another bump!
I think there were a couple that never arrived, but some did receive gifts from another secret santa that was generous enough to send to a 2nd person
And just a thought on the devious part.....if those participating change their location so something other than their home city......lol!
Just bumping this up
Well I think I got a little carried away, Im practically ready to ship mine
What is a "subscribing member"?Originally Posted by Chester&Piper
It's Secret Santa 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 gift to arrive in time for December 25th, please do not sign up.*
2. Be at least 18 years old.
3. Have 300 or more posts. If you're not quite to 300, please note this part of our rules:
10. a) We will not allow spamming. Threads about nothing or for the sole purpose of bumping up post counts are not allowed and will be removed without notice. This includes duplicate posts. So no posting just to get your post count up in order to be eligible to sign up this year.
4. Been a member for 6 months as of the close of registration (in other words have registered in March 2008 or earlier).
5. OR be a Subscribing Member, which would overrule #3 and #4.
*Please note: Except for extraordinary circumstances, 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 12th 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 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 $15-20USD, NOT INCLUDING SHIPPING. As of August 4, 2008, this converts to: 9.62-12.83 EUR, 7.64-10.19 GBP, 15.55-20.73 CAD, 16.12-21.49 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 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!!
I am interested.
you can subscribe [i.e. pay] for membership for periods of 3, 6 or 12 months & not have to meet the posting/membership requirements.
