Okay, if anyone else wants to get in on this, you have to do it before I get home from work!! Probably by 2ish would be okay. I'll start the random picking of names then.
I'm going to try to get some addresses out today and hopefully finish by tomorrow. So be on a look out for them. Please be patient too!!!
currie68, I NEED YOUR ADDRESS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, LIKE TODAY!!! Please!!
Thanks all, I'll be in touch soon!!

Hey everyone, I was asked in O/T a few weeks ago if I was going to do the Secret Santa thing again this year. I had a few people interested in it again. Figured with the economy being what it is, we might not get a lot of takers this year but I still wanted to give those people a chance who wanted to do it. I'm posting this early so hopefully everyone will get a gift by Christmas!!
If you don't know me, I'm Darlene I've been heading this up for the last 2 or 3 or more years, I can't remember now!
If you don't know what Secret Santa is, it's just a gift exchange from people on the board. You sign up with me and I randomly draw a name for you to buy for. Someone else gets your name too. You buy a gift for your person and mail that gift out. You watch the mail and a gift should show up. Pretty simple. We usually limit the amount of the gift to $20 - $25. If you do sign up, remember this is the internet and we don't know exactly who is behind the user name so, there might be some people that take advantage and not send one. With the help from some friendly Fiero folk and me the past few years, we got everyone something.
If you think you are interested, here's the link from last year https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum1/HTML/068079.html Take a look and see if you would like to play along.. You can also do a search for Secret Santa and there will be a gifts received thread and a Dear Secret Santa I want...... thread from last year too. That will give you an idea of what to expect.
If you want to play, please post here and PM me your name and address. I won't give your address out to anyone other than that person who is buying the gift for you. So, please don't worry about that. If you don't know me and don't think you can trust me, ask around. I'm sure a few people will vouch for me. lol I know it's early but I'm trying to get a jump start on this. I'll keep sign ups up for about a week, week and 1/2.
Please don't sign up if you know you won't have the time or money to do this. I don't get on here much on weekends so if you don't hear anything from me this weekend, I'll be back on Monday to check in.
Thanks guys/girls!!

Why not just have the Aussie's have each other's names there? Most likely it will cost more to ship than is spent on the gift.

I didn't see a wish list, but a few people have listed suggestions. I have a really great suggestion! Buy the 25th Anniversary DVD and we will make sure that we don't give the secret away, we will keep it a secret who paid. Just PM timgray or myself to make sure that they didn't already order one for themselves.

That is a great idea!!! If my Secret Santa is listening out there, this is what I would like!!!
If you would get it there around Christmas that would be terriffic. No need to rush out right now and mail it. I just wanted to give people enough time to find something and mail it out. A lot of people end up ordering over the internet and things tend to take some time. That's the reason I started this early.
I'm still waiting on a couple of people to get back with me.....so, I might be in touch with a few of you, that I know a bit better than others, to maybe switch things up a bit. If I do ask you to switch, please don't feel obligated. I'm just trying to get everyone in.
Thanks

I have been racking my brain for something that I wanted for the fiero. I have RUSS88GT making some T-Top sun inserts. If my secret santa wanted to throw something against that. Maybe the coin tray for a beechwood interior. The car is not in need of anything really....ahh decisions, decisions. Or we could just go with a complete surprise...

Your gifts are being shipped out now, so be on the lookout!!!
That one won't make it from our mailbox to the front door without being unwrapped. Never last till Christmas--she's worse than any kid. "Can't we open just one present tonite--please!?!"

i will say that i felt that the person i sent gifts to last year was unappreciative.
Even if you DON'T like what was sent to you. Know that your santa spent time, and money in hopes of making you happy. you should at least acknowledge the effort.

Yeah, Buddy has a good point. Quite a few people were dissapointed last year that their receipients didn't even guess or post that they got their gift. Half the fun of this is guessing who sent the gift!! So please don't forget to post when you get your gift, what you got, and who you think it's from!!!
Thanks.
