The holiday season is shortly upon us!
Welcome BACK to (or Welcome TO if you are new) the Anandtech Off Topic 2015 Secret Santa!!! Matt (MartyMcFly3) and I (Jeff) will be participating as well this year. For those that don't know, Matt and I are the ones who have organized this Secret Santa year in and year out. We are hoping for another great turnout!
Questions can be directed to either this thread or via PM to Matt or me.
We request that the gifts be a minimum of $20 value. Please only sign up if you are serious. The deadline for signing up is THANKSGIVING! (November 26th by Midnight of your time zone)
Rules (Very Important... Please Read!):
1) Please try to mail your gift with enough time to be there before Christmas. All gifts should be mailed out by **December 12th-15th**, no later. If you think it might take longer to arrive, please send it out sooner.
2) For the US, we recommend USPS Priority Mail with Delivery Confirmation. We would say this is the cheapest and fastest way for smaller boxes or packages. When you ship out your package to your person, you will be asked to send us the tracking number for the package.
3) For the Canadian and other countries members, please use a trusted shipping method that is trackable. We just want something we can use to see if the package gets there or not. Also, if your address does not fit the format of the form, please provide the correct way to mail something to you in the “Additional Information” box.
4) When you get your pairing, you will be assigned to either Matt or me as your Secret Santa host. At that point, all questions should be PM'd to that host. I won't be able to answer questions for Matt's listing just as he won't be able to answer for mine. We will do our best to answer all questions in a timely manner.
5) A list of the Secret Santas will be posted after Christmas. No, we won't tell you who your Secret Santa is early.
6) Please try to be helpful in the signup form. (i.e. For "Likes" don't put "Stuff" and that's it). Remember, chances are the person that has you has NO idea who you are/what you like... While its fun in family secret santa’s to not give help, it sucks for strangers over the internet. Don’t just make the person rely on your posts on ATOT. Just because you posted about liking PC/PS/Xbox games or a certain genre of books/music/movies, that doesn’t mean that they know what you have/what you want.
7) If we can think of anything else, we will post it here. As for now, thanks for participating and happy (soon to be) holidays!!!
TL;DR version: There is none. Read the rules. They don't bite.
