PH Secret Santa 2020 - The Santae, lockdown edition

Now then, having been relentlessly reminded, its now time to follow up the SS of 2019!

So, shall we all get thinking about what should land under the tree of our victim... chilli fist? super-squirrel? a nice dildo? A wierd alien tentacle face mask?

Stroopwaffles continued to be a growing theme (hint hint wink )

Down to business:



This appears to be the 10th annual PHSS and the second year I have been at the helm biggrin

As it seems is traditional, I'll copy & paste parts of last years thread opener + rules, robbed from previous threads as it worked well (credit Geeks 2018) ..

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 Wednesday 4th November 2020
• Within short order you'll receive an email with your victim "gift recipient's" details
• Start stalking your victim "recipient". Checking through post history, getting to know your target, learning about them, researching Facebook, disguising yourself to follow closely at a social distance wink 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 but there is no pressure here!)
• 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 now and again 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. I will endeavour to do this on a daily basis, rest assured I will post up messages wherever and whenever possible!

PH Secret Santa 2020 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 (apparently nobody wants to open a box containing a dildo in front of little Johnny on Xmas morning). If you don't supply information, it'll be assumed you're happy with whatever you get!
• 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 for entry is 10pm on Wednesday 4th November 2020. 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 - anyone have a can of red bull or some frozen sausages handy?
• 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

Use this template when emailing me your details

PH nom de plume:
Real name:
Address:
Likes:
Dislikes:
NSFW Allowed? (Y/N):
Ok to send to our International PH'ers? (Y/N):

There may be occasional updates to the rules above, please keep an eye on them - I will update this post if needed.

The Santae's decision is final. If you don't play ball, I will find you.

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

Let the games begin!

ETA: 50% ink saving version






A wiki will be set up once matching is complete.

An additional note
Santa is very aware that the last 6mths haven’t been fun and some people may be in a very different position than they were expecting to be, purse strings may be being tightened etc frown That said, don’t shy away - I’m sure your victim will still be overjoyed at receiving a medium chilli fist instead of a XXXL. It’s the stinging thought that counts.

Who is going to be first to cock the table up

Bristolbaron is trying to sabotage that bit of yearly entertainment by being incredibly helpful

From experience, that usually helps some people to cock up!

Also, just actually read the first post, 10 years! Wow, hadn't realised we'd been going that long. Great stuff.

Can't remember how many of these I have been in now, think this will be my 6th maybe my 7th!

It has produced some of the best gifts, many I have knocking around my office at home that serve as a reminder, occasionally you can trust a stranger on the internet

I took the 2019 one, deleted 9 and replaced it with 10. I blame one of the previous Santa’s

I think I've fixed it.

[Captain Raymond Holt]

Hmmm...
PH doesn’t seem to have fixed the problem with profile links - if you click on people in the list it takes you to your profile not theirs.

Am I being thick?

I’m planning on mailing last years participants but without this function it’s a bit of a PITA.

[Captain Raymond Holt]

If you have already signed up you may still have received a mail, my head hurts.

[Captain Raymond Holt]

Trouble - did you do each of those? If so, someone’s getting an extra fist for xmas! Much appreciated.

We’re nearly a month away from the entry deadline and are making good progress, a lot of repeat participants

Only one of us managed to get a lifetime ban since last PHSS too

[Captain Raymond Holt]

‘It’s the Captain that always breaks the table yeah yeah yeah

I leave you all alone for less than a day

Shy bairns don't get prezzies.

And Capt'n likes it so much - he says I have been an extra good boy - and I'm a shoe in for an extra fist!

I don't think I can sleep until Santa comes.

Two fists and a shoe in? Blimey!

Indeed. And an apparent thirst for Santa to “come”.

Disgusting isnt it

We’re slowly but surely closing in on last years number of participants

you'd think people would be more inclined to have a little fun given the stshow the is the world at the minute!

it's something to do between lockdown's

its pretty much the only thing you're allowed to do in Lockdown!

I suppose you could be gifted something to use in the Spring lockdown...
