PH Secret Santa 2015 - The Santae Strike Back



I believe this is now the fourth annual PH Secret Santa Thread.

2014 was yet again a fantastic year, that time run by The Guv. For some reason, in a fit of what I can only assume to be total madness, I stuck my hand up and said I'd have a crack at organising the Secret Santa for this year. Let's see if we can make this year the best one yet!

As it seems is traditional, I'll copy & paste parts of last years thread opener + rules, although there are some slight alterations.

Basic Format:

• Starting from right now, register your interest by sending me a PM with your details on (summary of required details is in the rules below)
• Closing date for entry is 10pm on Sunday 8th November 2015
• Shortly after (the following week) you'll receive an email with your victim gift recipient's details
• Start stalking your target recipient. Checking through post history, getting to know your target, learning about them, researching Facebook, disguising yourself to follow closely etc are all part of the fun. Use your newly gained info wisely to decide on the perfect gift for your target
• Once purchased, wrap your gift and post to your target. Target spend is £10 plus P&P (Feel free to spend more if you wish)
• Drop me an email to let me know it's been dispatched
• Sit back and wait until Christmas Day when you can open your gift!

If you need to get a message to either your Secret Santa or victim giftee (got to stop doing that!), send me a PM.

Every few days I will type out a list of anonymous messages and list who they are for. This will save people giving away their identity and revealing themselves to their SS.

PH Secret Santa 2015 Rules:

• Secret Santa, add your name to the list and then pop me a PM with your username, real name, address, a small list of likes/dislikes and whether NSFW things are acceptable (according to The Guv, nobody wants to open a box containing a dildo in front of little Johnny on Xmas morning)
• Anybody with allergies or things, please mention in the email
• Target spend is £10 + postage (Spending more is at the senders discretion)
• There will likely be a few international PH'ers involved. If you don't want to pay that little extra for postage please say in your email. If you are a kind hearted soul and actually want an international PH'er then please say this (there is, I believe, one or two PHers around the 'Ring/Spa etc). Any secret Santas without a preference will be used in the case there are not enough people volunteering to do it
• Closing date is 10pm Sunday 8th November. During the following week I will issue everyone an email with the details of your Secret Santa. This is a strict cut off date - if you snooze you lose I'm afraid
• Non-senders of gifts will be named and shamed & potentially suffer VBRJ
• If a person has specifically requested NOT to receive a certain gift (a common example being a dildo), please do not send them it - that's just not cricket
• Also, if you haven't received a gift near to Christmas let me know. Christmas mail is busy and some of the post to international PH'ers may take longer
• All record of addresses will be destroyed after secret santa is completed
• Photographs of received gifts to be posted on this thread upon opening

There may be occasional updates to the rules above, please keep an eye on them.

As I've said above, and will reiterate again, the closing date and time is the closing date and time. If you'd like to get involved then please do sooner rather than later. You have one month from now!

In the recent years we've had an extremely high percentage of success, if you are not 100% sure you can participate, then please don't sign up. If you don't deliver, you have the potential to ruin someone's Christmas! Oh, and being on the receiving end of a mob with pitchforks and torches!

If there are any issues, PM me and I'll do my best to sort it out.

I'll add a table here of all those involved in due course.

The spend is still set at £10 plus P&P. I know for a fact that most people spend more than that each year (it's easy when you get caught up in the excitement and see the absolutely perfect item online). It really is up to you how much you spend, anymore is totally at your discretion.

If I've missed anything, I'll update as/when.

There will be times I am unavailable, but it shouldn't be for more than a day or two at a time. Please bear with me as despite what you may believe, PHSS - 2015 isn't the only thing I have to do!

Let the games begin!

Cheers

The Moose

E-mails with Victim/Recipient Details Just Sent Out

Please take note of the information. If somebody has specifically request NOT to receive something NSFW (Not Safe for Work) or has an allergy, please do not send something that goes against this. It isn’t in the spirit of Christmas.

I hope you are happy with your allocated person. If there are any issues, please email me and mention you have done so in the PHSS15 thread.

If you require additional information about your person, email me and I will ask. This maintains the anonymous part of the fun.

I will post updates in the thread and feed through information to your SS on your behalf. Please check the thread regularly.

Moose, do you need my details? Should be in the spreadsheet I sent over.

Assuming they haven't changed, then no need

I just just worked it out cheers anyway
I'll delete above post

[The Moose]

Not a bad list so far - had some interesting e-mails including someone who for Dislikes wrote (and I quote):

"Nothing. Really I can think of that I don't want,so knock yourself out"

Sounds to me like someone is going to have a great time selecting a gift this year . If this was you, I'd be afraid. Be very afraid!!

I'll happily add the link for the PH Christmas Wrapping Paper to the OP of the thread...if someone will give me the link!

Count me in for this also....
I had a bit of a nightmare with my old account, when i saw this topic go up, i had to create a new one to be in for the 3rd year in a row ;-)

I am 'theguvernor' FYI.

Add your (new) name to the list then...you know how this works!!!

I've taken the liberty of linking everyones names to their profiles, which will make it easier/help folks come research/profiling time

Not overly helpful at this point however! Pain in the neck having to constantly double check whether there's spaces/underscores etc.

The plan was to have a linked list in the OP once the list was closed etc...

Why do all the work, when you can get other people to do it for you.

Plus it also ensures they do it correctly to start with.

Copying and pasting the member code 40-odd times is hardly onerous!

As I said, the reason it makes it awkward is seeing spaces/underscores etc in usernames.

At least one of us has their present sorted.

£0.01?! Bargain!!!

[The Moose]

After 10 days, I guess it's time for a bit of an update!

We have 47 people signed up, of whom 37 have sent me details. This includes 2 pairs of people with the same postal address (yes, I have double checked that I've not cocked it up copying and pasting!), about 10 international recipients who come from 5 different countries and one person who helpfully may or may not change address between now and Christmas (hopefully they'll let me know).

The person so far who's gift is being delivered furthest from my location is 3,400 miles away. The nearest so far is 18 miles and 1 chap who lives around the corner from my misses' parents house in the wilderness of Scotland.

We also have a very interesting set of "likes" (what an interesting demographic the 'users of PH' are!) from 'None' to goading their Santa into the most filthiest of NSFW presents!

3 more weeks until registration closes.
