II. What is it?
What is a Secret Santa?
A Secret Santa is a fun event between friends where you get a gift for someone else. People sign up to give a gift and then a match is randomly selected from the other participants. They go and get a gift within the set budget and wrap the gift. (We can't do that on Gaia anymore.) They then give the gift on Christmas to the person they were chosen to give it to and get a gift either from the same person or someone else. Everyone is happy.
Okay, what do I do?
Well, you first get the form below and fill it out. Be sure that you really want to give someone a gift and have the money and commitment to do so and post it in the thread. I will go and add your name to the list and you wait to see who you get. After you get your name, check them out and see what they would want (within the budget and reason). Buy a gift and wait for the exchange date. On the date, jump out with a trade and suprise them. Enjoy the laughter and fun.
Can I sign up more than once?
Sure, I'll let you. Signing up a second time means that you're willing to spend at least the budget minimum on more than one person. You are allowed to sign up a maximum of 4 times (I'm being nice) so that you don't flood others out.
You have to repost your form each time for a new slot. Copypaste is fine, but do not say "see my previous form" or some derivative thereof. It makes it easier on me. Your other times than your first will be placed on the list like so: "X. Name (#)" with # being the time you signed up.
What if I'm not here on the exchange date?
You should tell me first before that happens. Tell me how long you will be gone incase you have to leave for a relative's or such. Notify me ahead of time and we can work something out~ :'D
How about if I sign up, get a gift, but don't feel like giving one?
Secret Santa is about giving a gift and recieving one, and if you don't do both, you're not a good person. Don't sign up if you aren't going to give a gift. If you do sign up and don't send your gift for 2 weeks without telling me why, I won't respect you. :<
What can I give?
You can give anything like an item on their wishlist, something that is their favorite color, or even get them art from a nice artist. Anything goes as long as it is in fact a gift. Preferably an item or art please, no IOUs.
There's also going to be a price range, but I'm working on that.

III. Rules
1. Follow Gaia T.O.S. and no flaming in the thread.
2. The Budget for this Secret Santa is something worth between the amounts of [UNDECIDED]. If you go over, that's okay, but do not be giving anyone a donation item for it and expect to get anything like it in return.
3. If you are not going to get a gift for someone else or not commit to it, do not join.
4. Don't put down "whatever is fine"! It confuses people. XD; Put down some minimal requirements like "I like blue items" or "I could use another pair of pants that go with my avatar." Or say art. Just don't leave things too vauge.
5. Stay within the budget!
6. Don't tell your Secret Santa who you are before your date! And if you tell someone else who if you are asking what they like, make sure you trust them enough not to tell who you are giving it to!
7.Stay calm and collected when you recieve your gift. Do not harass them for what they gave you.

This post is a quick reference page for people to find out what others might want. It may get a little long, so use Ctrl+F to find your person if they're on here. HirunHikari MC if they get cheap. XD; Uh... Maybe something fancy in black or grey. Art's cool too.
I can try and update my wishlist. o3o; SkyBIue / MonJ Just about any kind of MC. I'd ask for Evolving items, but they're so pricey. Shizzeh I reallyreally want Picolitrosso's Urn,
Enchanted Book & Copper Twopence,
but those might be too expensive, so...
zOMG! items, wishlist items,
All kind of hats/masks & skins,
Sentry Security: The Fish, MC's,
Casino items
(Plumeria Headpiece,
Courted Ruff, Card Shark Bands,
Parisian Wig, Long Drag, Mole,
Phantom Death Masque.),
Elegant Antoinette Wig (Cream, Blue or Powdered),
Elegant Satin Vests & Coats (any color except black)
Pretty store commons,
...
Will update later. Unphotographable Hmmmm. Just something from my wishlist, would be nice. Doesn't have to be crazy expensive. S H O Y K I N G Uhm...

I am not really picky so anything you feel like giving me is nice. 3nodding But, Red and black stuff for now, until I redo my wishlist that is.

I'll try to keep it up to date for you... `Aine Chievious EIs, anything for/from ZOMG, tan/brown/yellow items, black/blue items, art, weaponry, or anything from my wishlist would be nice. XD Luna Amatista Gosh, difficult.
Elegant Lords' Mask, any kind as long as it's not Amethyst or Diamond studs.
Or any colour of the Tavern Wench Bustier. Preferably Berry, Coal, or Indigo.
I think I'm specific enough? A Dragonflys Sin Art -nod-, were tail(2,388 G), if you RLY love me you should get me a Nitemare Bustier >.> kidding, Pink Magical Giftbox(7,004 G), Jacked Up Cape(27,975 G), WTF Hat(11,300 G), Sakura Fluff Plushie(5,284 G), Sand Fluff Plushie(6,036 G), Coral Fluff Plushie (14,045 G), Kokeshi Kimono (11,419 G), Kokeshi Doll (3,161 G), Kokeshi Fan(2,940 G), & Red or black items, I like them spooky, any evolving item, and fishies. xD Do you have enough options yet? xD TootsieFruity Something from this list or this month's Sealed Envelope.

OR if you want to buy me an item, I'd like... umm.. Panda Plushie? <33 Or if you rlyrlyrly love me one of the mascot constumes, but I doubt anyone loves me that much xDDDDDDD~ Ginji of Thunder
Honestly...anything nice and cheap. I'd rather not get art though. For some reason it's not very appealing to me, unless you draw it yourself ^_^ For items, something you think I would like in the price range. If you don't know me, THEN STALK ME! ^_^ Er...something from my wishlist? Or Shoes. Those are cool. Or some kind of pants item o.oMerumiharu Wishlist!
That includes everything from cheaper Fish and zOMG items to 03 MCs ;D A bit of everything. Azrael Makar Art and blue and/or black items. Satius Blue, or orange things.

no okay so I get that some people weren't here in the past.
But hirun
specify that there needs to be some kind of vague idea of what someone wants. "whatever" is not good.
Because I'm going to end up with sheena even AFTER having my really extensive list because karma is a b***h and she doesn't give ANY ideas .__.
