Going along with our Secret Santa style awards exchange this year, we're also having our second year of Secret Santa gifts~

Anyone who wants to be a part of this, just let me know in this thread. I haven't thought up a deadline for signing up, but please indicate your desire to participate as soon as possible so that we can try to be ready in time for the 25th. Once I have all of these names, I'll probably ask somebody who isn't participating to match people up and distribute names and addresses.

EDIT: Also, feel free to post some gift suggestions if you like.
EDIT 2: If you're short on funds, homemade gifts are always acceptable.

Participants:

• Stars
• Monkeydog
• Jody & Lazlo household
• Amethyst
• Hyperlisk
• Puffin
• Kamau
• Tupa
• BottomGuy

[Monkeydog]

I'll play. Is there going to be some kind of spending limit?

[Stars]

That might not be a bad idea. I would say try to keep things under $15, but a little fudging is permissible if you find a gift that's just too perfect.

[Jody]

I would like to play, but I'll have to ask Lazlo, because I don't know what his plans are far as splurging for gifts are this year. Can I be included for now?

[Stars]

Most certainly.

[Amethyst]

Ooh, pick me, pick me. I'm broke, but pick me.

[Hyperlisk]

[Puffin]

I'll enter. I can guarantee that whoever I get will get a picture since I'm broke, but hey. :p It ought to be fun either way.

[Kamau]

I'll play! :)

>.> <.< ...It's gonna be interesting trying to figure out what to get at this rate. XD

[Septerra]

ah, why the fuck not, ill play along. can't guarantee delivery times though.

[Stars]

Alrighty, you've been added to the list.

In the interest of hopefully getting this done on time, I'm going to close the signup on Thursday the 15th so that we can get names and addresses distributed. I also need to hear from Jody by then to know for sure if she'll be able to take part.

And remember to feel free to post suggestions for what you'd like. It can be quite helpful to the person trying to pick something out for you.

To that end...I never know what to ask for. xp
Pretty much anything from Thinkgeek.com is good.
Gift cards or online certificates for any of these places are welcome: Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Best Buy, Gamestop, Thinkgeek
I don't know if you can get gift cards for the Playstation Network, but that would be great if such a thing exists.
If it's possible to send PSN games to people as gifts (like on the Wii), I've been looking at Limbo and NBA Jam: On Fire Edition.
For something specific, I don't yet have the Elder Scrolls novel Lord of Souls.
Kindly refrain from sending me ponies. =p

EDIT: Scratch Lord of Souls. I just bought it forgetting that it was on my list here... xp

[Kamau]

What I'd like...well, I'm a huge fan of cute things. :) Especially cute stuffed animals. In fact, I'm currently playing with my friend's TY Beanie Ballz. :D Soft and cuddly is fantastic.

I like turtles, tigers, wolves, squirrels/chipmunks, foxes... :3

I also like Star Wars (though I'd advise against novels because I have almost 100 of them already)!

I'm a fan of fantasy, science fiction, and light steampunk.

If I think of anything else, I'll be sure to add it. :D

[BottomGuy]

Damn it! It's already the holiday seasons? Where does the time go...

...Oh right, school, work and shenanigans.

Anyway count me in. I loved doing this last year.

Anything from ThinkGeek is always cool with me.
I am a Brony.
Sciency things are neat, too, like little projects or experiments.
Gift Cards for electronics places like GameStop or BestBuy.
Anything History related.

[Puffin]

I'd be fine with any art supplies. I like the brand Faber-Castell the most. However, one thing I can always need more of is this:
Eraser pencils. These are amazing.

I also like fantasy/fairy tale based stuff. You know, dragons, faeries, elves and the like... and of course, pirates, but I already have a ton of pirate stuff, so something different would be fun. Although I'm not terribly big on novelty gifts. :/ I like pretty or cool looking things.

[Jody]

Talked to Lazlo, and he and I will be entering together, if that's acceptable.

Anyway we're into anything Pokemon, Legos, or anything dorky or funny.

Also a big one: Amnesia: The Dark Descent on Steam. Or Penumbra.

[Amethyst]

/>Gift cards or online certificates for any of these places are welcome: Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Best Buy, Gamestop

(or League of Legends, since I've been playing that a lot recently, I think you can send the gift cards remotely on that...)

/>What I'd like...well, I'm a huge fan of cute things. :)

(particularly if it's gothic-esque or victorian)

Not a problem.

[Hyperlisk]

I want something YOU think is cool. I think it is more awesome <3

[Septerra]

I'm good for anything cept pony/horse related stuff.

points of attention:

- I am not an artist, my draw-fu is far too weak
- i'm a geek, geeky or otherwise awesome thing fit right in my lane
- note that I am outside of the states, so look out with Gift cards or online certificates, and possible international shipping costs.
- I am not really into reading books
- I regulary attend my DnD game evenings, meaning I like fantasy settings, this includes stuff like steampunk and other.
- I cannot find my Dice needed for DnD, MtG, and other games me and friends play (D3,D4,D6,D8,D10,D12,D20 mainly....although I once also owned useless (for me) D24 and D100 dice), so in case you find awesome/eccentric dice
- (anime/toon) Figurines are nice, always wanted to have one but never bought one for some reason.
- other overall awesome/interesting stuff (doesn't matter in who's viewpoint)

if I think of something else ill update this list.

[Stars]

It's a little earlier than I had said, but I'm going to declare the sign-up closed. Everyone be sure to send me your mailing address. Then I'll send a list to Invince so that he can match people up.

Also, Tupa is totally getting a Pinkie Pie pony for Christmas.
