We're here, we're queer, we don't want any more bears.

Rules:
*  Don't tell anyone who you have.  If you need gift ideas, PM me and I will contact your SS, or you can post suggestions for yourself in this thread once the matchmaking is done.  If you have a "need by" date, also include that.
*  Gifts should be around $40 not including shipping.
*  Plan on shipping your gift at least a week before someone's "Need by" date.  Different people might have different dates, be courteous to your recipient.  This includes being late, try not to be too late.
*  Pictures or video of you opening is required.  Video preferred.
*  There is a minimum "notoriety" requirement.  Due to my lack of activity, I will defer decisions of new people to a counsel of trusted users.  In all but two cases, the person who fails to give a gift is a newbie.  A repeat of several years ago non-participants is unacceptable.
*  You must provide me with tracking information.  I have two suggestions to do this and one for keeping shipping down:
1) Buy from Amazon or other online vendor that provides you a tracking number.  HOWEVER, they will ship it fast, so if you want to go that route, send the participant a card with a letter (which some of us do anyway), and send it a week before you order.  Address it to the person and their handle so they know it is from DTF.  In the letter state their gift will come direct from the vendor(s) and have fun with the rest.
2)  USPS isn't that bad usually, I have sent things three day for about $10 in the past.  Make sure you have a tracking number to give me if I ask for it.
3) IF YOU HAVE A CANADIAN: Don't ship USPS, there are customs charges that must be paid if you go this route, you need to use UPS or FedEx.
4) IF YOU HAVE A NICK: Pre-damage your box, then ship FedEx.  He'll appreciate the effort.

I mean, if course I'm in, but I'll never be able to top last year's gift I sent

Adami

Was hoping to come back in this year, but given the arrival of little kiddo in late November/early December, I can't imagine I'd be able to be much help.

Next year though!

As per usual, if a European crowd manifests, I'm in.

Maybe the grass is greener on the other side because you're not over there fucking it up.

So I just checked, and, uh, you are one of the two who haven't sent.

Hey friends! I really wanted to join in, but I'll probably be leaving Venezuela in the next few weeks. Even though I know where I'm headed, I'm not sure about the mail situation over there—how reliable, efficient, or expensive it is. So, I'll have to miss out on this year's Secret Santa, unfortunately. Have fun!

I feel like I always say this, but I still regularly view, I just don't comment nearly as much as I usually did. And I am sorry for being so absent. :(

I know, pal, I'm just fucking with you.

I enjoy following your roboting adventures on Facebook!

I'll put him over my knee at Progstock and spank him for being a bad boy.

As long as you do it during Kyros I'm good with it. It would mean you've dragged me up to the front row.

It does! But I need to leave before January 10th—I just don't have a set date yet. We finally got our new passports! I went to Lima a couple of weeks ago and managed to retrieve the frozen funds from my bank account. Now I'm just waiting for the green light from my boss, and then I'll grab the tickets!

Ive seen this thread come and go year after year, this year, Im in!
