PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE people!!! Take some time in listing your likes and dislikes. It is very likely that your Secret Santa does not know you at all. Give him/her a hint of what you like. I ended up sending a gift certificate last year because I had no clue from my guy and I could not find out anything from his posts.

And listing just "computers" is useless.

As for me, here is what I got last year, which was perfect:

I listed Treo 650, and I got a Treo 650 skin;
I listed San Francisco 49ers, and I got a 49ers t-shirt (which I still have and love);
I listed food, and I got a yummy beef stick.

You get the picture?

(Of course, I was lucky because my SS was a girl, and they are more thoughtful in their gift giving, IMO.)

Man I really haven't been around here much this year, but I'm so TOTALLY in again this year.

As for likes/dislikes I really agree that they're hard to fill out, but very important. I personally have listed my Amazon wish list the last few times.... not necessarily so someone can pick an item on it, but because it's usually much easier to get a feel for a person if you can see a handful of items that they'd spend their own money on. Not to mention that you'll often stumble on specific models of things people own as opposed to getting a Like of "video games" or "computers"

Can someone provide a dos and don'ts (in other words, gift ettiquette) of the ATOT Secret Santa. Some questions I have:

Should the gift always be something new (for instance, someone states their likes/wants is a dvd burner and I have a very good used one lying around. Would sending it as the gift be considered rude?)?

Should you include the receipt with the gift (in case there's a problem with the gift)?

Is there anything off limits?

It doesn't have to be new (but make sure its fully functioning, relatively new looking and not a POS) Im gonna put my foot down and say used underwear is unacceptable though.

You can include a gift receipt or if you dont mind your SS knowing how much you spent, an actual receipt with the gift. I recommend just getting a gift receipt if you purchase something from a store.

Things that are off limits:
Dead bodies
Gifts under $20
Live bodies

Other than that, use your discretion. When you get matched with someone take time to look through their posts.

It wasn't yesterday, but it came up this morning. I filled it in and submitted it.

 

[I Saw OJ]

I'm so in, signing up when I get home from work!

 

[MaxDepth]

Yay! I'm back from missing last year. Self imposed because I was very late in sending my gift two years ago.


Likes: I like to experience things that my Secret Santa has around them. I find local things are pretty neat. For instance, one SS sent me things from his home in Massachusetts. Cranberry chocolates and a local calendar that had awesome recipes each month. That was cool.

Of course, one Secret Santa knew my dislikes too well and sent me one those items. Bastard!
