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.
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. I moved the date for something like that but should you stay longer, notify me beforehand of your parent's travel length plans.
How about if I sign up, get a gift, but don't feel like giving one?
If you sign up and do the above, you have lost the respect of all your peers and my respect. Signing up means you follow the rules and buy a gift. If you do not feel like giving anything, don't even bother filling out the signup form.
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.

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 4-10k. 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. Stay within the budget!
5. 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!
6. Stay calm and collected when you recieve your gift. Do not harass them for what they gave you.

VI. What people want!
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. 1. Hirun Hikari Any of the new shop items, be it cash shop or not. Something punky. >.>; Or the universal gift of an OMG box. If a Pora is too much to ask, don't bother. 2. Fortenra Askasa Tuga the Narwhal Plush
OMG Box (Oh My Gift Box)
Tama's Basket
Kappa Plush
White Abominable Scarf
The Jack-et
Little Black Bat
Kaya the Cat 3. Merumiharu ART ART ART <3
DandiiDooDad Spore
Santa's Giftbox 2K5 3 or 4 SEALED BOX Since those are the only two under 10K XD
OMG BOXES
WTF
or any of these
4. Kimila Anything blue, black, or purple will work well, but Doll Ears would be nice. I wouldn't mind art either. :3 5. Sibeiko Either something Blue, White, or Blace works... 6. `Aine Chievious -Any kind of avatar art. They can draw it themselves, or request/buy it from someone else. I've been wanting art for a while. It can be any kind of art you choose. ((remove from list if art does not count))
-Bape Cow. I just like it.
- Any blue or black items. Those are my two favorite colors.
- Any yellow/tan/brown items. As you know, my avatar switches from a demonic elf-thing to a catgirl and back, although I've been primarily been wearing cat items for a while. This is not a bad thing, however, one small problem is that cat items are yellow/tan in color, and so you may have to match it up with other items (hence why I've said I wish they came in black. Though, I'm not going to stop wearing them because of this). So, any yellow/tan/brown items would help. 7. Roy Salamandra art, rapier of any color, or red sorceror's book 8. Insomnesiac Art, I'm going to update my wishlist later this week. Cash shop items and commons that I haven't decided on yet. 9. Chikorin Moonie Wishlist stuff! Or hell, y'know, a Nitemare Headband if there's a snowball's chance in hell someone'd give one up. 8D Mostly um. Black Elegant set things. ANYTHING. @w@;;; I gave up my corset (along with other things) for gold towards my AFK....but within range, Iced Sugarplum stuff and White Prince Coat! And art and....seriously, just look at my wishlist when in doubt. 8D 11. Rorek I've put a couple of lower priced items on my wishlist. I'd love either the magma elf ears or the Pantheracorax Agate, which may or may not come down to the price range by the gift date. ^^ 12. The Ti Chan Panthera-whatever Agate. XD Uh, Old Machete, Bape Cow... Anything, really would make me content. Surprise me... I love surprises, and the colors red, black and purple. I like silly items (hence the Bape Cow...) and items others sometimes look over (I own teh buck teeth proudly...) Art is always nice, but you don't have to get me any unless you draws. Err... nothing else, I suppose.
I just want to be as specific as I can, that way no one has to worry about wondering what I might like. 13. Kitty Krazy ART! Umm, otherwise... - Santa Baby Leggings Or be creative! >.< :doesn't want to think much on weekends: 14. -_Sanity Eater_- Anything Red, Green, or Black.
But i'm happy with what ever I get. 16. Bellecat Art
Pora Ice <3
Elegant Black Corset Top Thingy
Lolita-related Gaia items. In general. xD
... and a WTF hat if anyone is willing to part with it o 3o 17. Wrendraith Arts are hot. ninja
Other than that...
Ahm...
OMG box.
Mint Sugerplum Bodice.
Bape Cow.
Ummmmmzer.
Tuga the Narwhal Plush.
I wear red and black and green the most, clothing wise. xd
Wishlist items, though I'm not sure there's actually anything on there affordable for anyone who calls themselves sane. eek
AND A WTF HAT, even though that's totally not in the budget at all. -sacrifices soul to gaia pixel gods.- @w@; 18. Edmond Dantes Mainly just art. My wishlist is outdated and I'm to lazy to fix it. sweatdrop I don't really change my outfit at all so hand held stuff is ok. 19. Heart Shaped Toastie Anything on my wishlist is fair game. 3nodding Also, any item i don't have from the new store update or Art will be beloved until the end of time. 3nodding 20. Merty - DandiiDooDad Spore

- Smashing Cities
- Broken Heart/.../Brilliant/Deadly Mood Bubble

A Dragonflys Sin Art, perferabley cupple art of me and hdog, Any evolving itom, The cute little skull emote mobober, the red rose thingydohickey, and prity much any of the stuff from the cash shop ^-^;; But in genral anything dark and creepy that i do not own :3.

Basically, get me anything you think I'd like. <3~ 31. Zanaroo I'd really love art of my characters, Zan, Fort, and or Jin (refs of them are on my dA, or I'll update with refs here)... if not, Elegant Snowy Cravat, Gold Prince's Rapier, or Firestorm Dragon Gown would be nice~ 32. `Kashi ART!

Draconissa Hmm, well I am questing for an Angel Staff, but there is no freakin way I'll get that xd How about, troll ears (sea, frost, and/or storm ), tiaras ( gold or silver with onyx or sapphire), young Mrs. Clause stuff, crossed belts (the actual belt), chain link belt, crossed belts (the tops, black and/or white), unicorn horn (heh, too expensive, but might as well mention it), anything else you feel like really 40.
