Stuntman's thread about his boss finding the gay santa thread thankfully made me aware of this in time. Please sign me up.

Royal Mail website seems to suggest it would be about £10 for me to send a small parcel to the United States, not having much luck finding out anything about the other direction

international boarders always used to be included. last time i did this i just ordered most of my gift from a canadian site to deliver direct to my boarder. that said, i never got anything that year so who knows if its worth it

hell count me in

by **RIXX** » Wed Dec 05, 2018 8:06 am

got ya!

i'm gonna randomize and send out names when I get off work later today, so you have until like 5PM ET to still sign up!

remember, if you haven't emailed or PMed me your mailing address, please do so today!

- GAy Santa

by **galactagogue** » Wed Dec 05, 2018 9:32 am

ohh just PMed you my address

by **Marza** » Thu Dec 06, 2018 9:40 am

Can I still do it even if I don't want anything? I like not owning much stuff.

wait no I guess that would mess things up

well if people here trust me I'll sign up!

by **RIXX** » Thu Dec 06, 2018 6:06 pm

got you marza! you're in

names will go out tonight, i'm just organizing my list. i'm going to use a randomizer for the names but i'm trying to think of a way where I can still participate while also sending out all the names and keeping my secret santa...secret. i could have a boarder who isn't participating send all the PMs out. or I could just know who my secret santa is. i honestly don't mind but i don't want to ruin anyones fun if they get me and care about that. oh well i'll think of something tonight

by **tricksforchips** » Thu Dec 06, 2018 11:01 pm

Are there any programs that just shoot out an email for you? Like you just input all the emails and it doesn't tell you who gets who?

Otherwise just buy gifts for all of us.

by **tricksforchips** » Thu Dec 06, 2018 11:01 pm

Thanks Santa!

yes, the only problem is that they won't send out the address along with the email as well

i will figure it out though don't worry, gay santa has everything under control

by **laserblast** » Fri Dec 07, 2018 8:51 am

never count out touchdown gay santa, folks

by **deadbass** » Fri Dec 07, 2018 2:05 pm

i stopped believing in santa years ago, but i'll never stop believing in gay santa.

by **RIXX** » Fri Dec 07, 2018 6:31 pm

ok sending out names now

i made a little picture thing but i didn't have time to make it funny or add any jokes because i'm working insane hours before my christmas break, i'm actually going insane. pray for gay santa

by **RIXX** » Fri Dec 07, 2018 6:45 pm

fuck HOLD IT TOGTHER

by **RIXX** » Fri Dec 07, 2018 7:27 pm

ok all names should be sent out. PM me if you need any assistance going forward

god i hope i did not fuck up somehow :!:

by **galactagogue** » Fri Dec 07, 2018 8:06 pm

ok everyone should definitely make sure to share some hints fir the kinda surprises they like!!

i am into skill building stuff, working w hands, prints and poetry or essays! tryna be a better cook (mini competition w blab soon) film and video artworks, second hand gems (not literally) and garden stuffs. in the winter i spend a lotta time wrapped in a blanket drinking coffee and staring at the highway which is literally across the street from my apartment.

by **trigross** » Fri Dec 07, 2018 10:56 pm

oh yeah i was going to do that too

i enjoy books (all sorts, check the reading thread 4 my posts), philately (stamp collecting), fragrances (of all kinds , tabletop roleplaying games, religious ephemera (kitcshy and non), cooking veg food, um...that's probably enough

by **pantsoclock** » Sat Dec 08, 2018 1:05 am

Wow I am now realizing that it's impossible to think of anything I want.
Hand crafted anything is amazing.
I've been waiting forever to happen across a copy of Susan Faludi's Backlash or Dworkin's Right-Wing Women? (both probably perfectly purchasable at the regular old book store but it never seems to be on my mind when I am there). This is a way of saying I like feminist theory, but it's hard to know what someone already has.
A picture of a cute cat?
LSD?
I always think I should read about movies more.

by **RIXX** » Sat Dec 08, 2018 11:53 am

another good idea is to list clothes sizes in your interests posts...i guess mostly t-shirt sizes, in case ur secret santa finds that perfect rare band tee or meme sweater or something ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

for mine, i wear mostly an XL cuz i'm a tall feller but sometimes L

if ya don't feel comfortable listing it on the board feel free to PM me and I'll pass it along to ur santa

also if you have any other specific questions, either from the gifter to the giftee or the other way around, just PM me and i'll be the middleman!

by **laserblast** » Sat Dec 08, 2018 3:03 pm

over the years, some of my favorite gifts have been ones that are not in my 'wheelhouse' -- an underrated joy of any gift exchange, here or elsewhere, is learning a bit more about your secret santa, what they think is cool, & their take on what you might think is cool. which is just a way of saying send me things you like!

if that doesn't help i love coffee/tea and my hobbies are basically the threads i post in. i'm a big boi/xl

by **sadville** » Sat Dec 08, 2018 5:21 pm

interests: small art that u made, local stuff (big fan of local/regional coasters), lsd, anarchist theory, dark roast coffee, size adult medium, books by people who aren't white dudes
