It's time once more for the Styleforum Secret Santa & Gift Exchange! :slayer:

As always i'll be doing my best to manage the event and hope to see it go as smoothly as possible.

This year we are collecting a $5 "entrance fee", that Styleforum can hold until the end of the season. The purpose of the pool is to hold people accountable, but perhaps more importantly, to get some cool stuff for anyone who does not receive a gift. Any funds left at the end will be donated to Styleforum’s Holiday Charity Drive.

The rules are as follows:

1) Your post in this thread indicating your desire to join must include your state/country, clothing size, and any special requests i.e. no clothing or no ties. If no clothing, try to give people a hint as to what you might like.

You must also send me a private message with your real name and your shipping address and I will then provide you the PayPal account for the $5 donation. I'll send a reminder before the cut off date. However, if you miss the miss the deadline for donation you will be dropped from the list.

Other than a donation, you just have to have had 100 posts on Styleforum to participate.

2) Minimum gift value of $35-$40 United States dollars. As long as you meet the minimum, how much you spend is up to you.

Shipping and packing costs are not included in your gift value. I will do my best to place you with someone in your immediate geographic area to attempt to cut down on shipping charges. US/US, Europe/Europe, etc, etc..

Gag gifts are allowed but cannot count against the overall value of the gift to meet the minimum. You will still need to provide him with a “real” gift.

3) Cut off date for signup & $5 donation is NOVEMBER 30th. Cutoff dates for shipping are as follows:

US - December 15th. Use Priority. It'll still takes a week.
International – December 7th.

4) Tracking numbers are mandatory. Please send them to me once your gift has been sent.

5) Once your receive the name of who you are supposed to send gifts to you have three day to let me know if it’s someone you have had in the last couple years. I will then do my best to swap out any past matches so you can have someone new.

6) We ask that all who participate take time to post pictures in this thread after they receive and open their gifts.

If you have any additional questions or concerns about participating feel free to ask here or shoot me a private message. :)

I hope that this fails and LA Guy has to give a gift to JM who doesn't give a gift to LA Guy and someone cries who isn't named edina.

To whomever may get my name:

I don't have any real requirements, so get creative. "Anything" is often harder to shop than specific things, so here's a bit of my life:

I wear a suit/tie/PS to work most days. Scarves and gloves are always great. I don't drink but have guests that drink. I happen to have 0 pickle Christmas ornaments. I like pine scented candles and mustard. I enjoy trying barbecue sauces I've never encountered. Plenty of empty shelves in my office for whatever knick-knacks or books. Feel free to get creative with something you think I'd want.
