Fun NPF Secret Santa 2012 - Showing the Grinch Whatfor [UNDER WAY!!]
Please be sure to send me your info by December 7th to "sign up"!
PMs will be going out within the next 24 hours to participants with your giftee and relevant information! Thanks for your patience and interest!! DONE


You all know when the holidays are. You have been given your quests! Go forth, NPF, and make merry!



OK
So I guess due to the large difference in difficulty implementing a snail-mail method vs. online, we'll go with something online. This way, at most we only need a valid email address for each other or a friend request in, say, Steam.

We're aiming for around 10-15 dollars (US) as a general guideline, but I don't think you should feel bad for going a little under or over. Just don't go waaay over and make everyone feel like a cheapass.

Viable Online Outlets / Ideas
Steam - games, addons, DLC, etc.
Digital Gift Cards (e.g. Amazon, iTunes, major retailers often have digital versions online)
Microsoft Live points, Wii Points, etc. (example: you buy the card, but you send the code to your recipient for him/her to use)
Audio Books
invites/subscriptions to audio/video streaming services (e.g. Hulu, Netflix)
Groupon

Don't you generally know WHO you're getting presents for, so that way you can get them a present?

I feel like there's a way to keep everyone from knowing anyone's addresses, that is super elaborate. Or we could do an "e-cret" Santa, like you said.

Thank you for letting me be better, NPF.

As in you feel like you need to know who you've got to get an appropriate present?

Yeah, pretty much. It's hard to get generic presents.

I'd be into giving a present. Not so sure about receiving one. That being said, does it have to be mail? Couldn't it be a Steam thing or the like?

Well if we do this I'd just participate on my own account, since I doubt it would take an expert sleuth to determine who the address in Finland belongs to.

Also we should agree on a price-range.

Yeah, a price range to keep some of us from going overboard would be damn helpful. Other than that, it sounds neato!

I'd be interested in this, though I agree that we should sort of know who we're giving presents too. For example, I don't own any next gen consoles and someone, not knowing that they got me because of the fake account, gets me an xbox live thing or some playstation points or whatever. I now can't use this present, though the thought is nice.

Might I suggest that when we pm get our fake accounts, we can pm you some suggestions of things we might like, or at least categories, that would be appropriate but not give us away. For example, I could suggest that I'd like some sci-fi/fantasy novels or maybe some art pens which makes it fairly generic since many people here like books and draw, but I won't suggest that someone get me something medical related, since that gives me away clearly. Once you get let's say 3-5 generic categories of things we'd want, you could pm the secret santa the suggestions.

Did I just make things very complicated?

Keep in mind that shipping costs can easily become more expensive than the gift you give, particularly if you try to mail something heavy or something to an address in another country.

This might be a problem, given the widespread nature of the NPF Empire.


However, if this does become A Thing That Happens, I agree on setting a price range and giving inexpensive gift suggestions.

...Heh.

Every Secret Santa I've done has always been where we didn't know who in the group we'd get a gift from, but we knew who were giving our gifts to. Allowed for more personalized gift options.

Anyway, I'd definitely do this if we took advantage of gifting through a service like Steam and therefore didn't have to give out real addresses. As is, the fact that I'm temporarily housed with my parents is going to lead me to shy away from having to justify receiving strange packages of random things from strangers (particularly since I don't trust some of you to avoid a 'mature content' present for grins and giggles, especially if the gift-giving is completely anonymous.)
