After reading many ideas about a Secret Santa, I felt we needed to share the holiday spirit with one another.
So, lets have a gift exchange event. You can call it Secret Santa, Hanukkah Harry(I am sure I spelled it wrong) or Kwanza Karl for VMK with just Dis people!
For those around last year, yes this is a total steal of the original idea by PurpleGoddess. I realize this and due to the time constraints involved it was the best solution to get this bird off the ground. (No offense to the duck fans, so don't get your tailfeathers in a twist.
You know who you are.
)
So here are the guidelines for the Gift Exchange Event:
Everyone (who signs up by the deadline, Friday Dec. 8) will get a Secret Santa(or whatever you would like to call them.) One to give gifts to, and one to be gifted from.
To start: Make a mule, if you don't already have one. One that will not give away your identity! Towards the end we will start to know our mules names (or sooner depending on how soon you make your mule, since they won’t be guest 12563583586756 anymore! ) so make sure it is not a name you would have normally. You want to keep your new friend guessing as to who you could be!
There is no limit on how many credits to spend. Go crazy! However, you do need to gift your new friend at least once a week! You can gift them more often than that, but please have at least one a week. So make sure you have enough credits in that account to do that. If you need ideas on how to score more credits, there are plenty of people here who can share their tips.
Now work on your wish list! You need at least 7 BUYABLE items. Yes, items that are buyable now in VMK. It can be anything at all, but please specify the item and color. And if you can: give a preference on what kind of thing you like the most of: clothing, pins, furniture. And then add one thing that you really want but can’t especially be bought. Keep in mind, there is no promise that you can get this item. It is up to the Santa giver to get it for you, but it can’t hurt to put it down right? Your list can be as long as you want! Just make sure you have 7 buyable items on that list, so they have an idea as what to gift to you.
I will post everyone’s name and wish list here. I will not be posting who is secret Santa to who, I will PM everyone with who those people are. BUT I will put everyone’s wish list up with their name and VMK name. (not the secret mules name) so at any time (in case the list keeps getting updated) you can come and look it up without having to give away your identity in any way or PM anyone! I will put this list in alphabetical order (according to Dis name not VMK name, but both names will be listed) so it should be easy to look up who you need.
I will take everyone’s name who wants to participate and I will put them into a hat in my house, then pick 2 at a time and figure out who is paired up with who. Please do not request a specific person. There may be many who would like that person's name. Leaving it to chance means no one gets their feeling hurt.
There will be a few meetings after the deadline has passed (Dec. 8) for meeting up with your secret Santa. I will arrange a room and times to meet up with them. This process will be revealed next week.
Make sure to check the list often as you can. Your new friend could have more things on their list, and you can have new ideas as to what to gift them. Have fun with it and brighten their day! You are making a new friend and spreading holiday cheer!
At the end we will have a mule ball with everyone revealing their secret Santa’s with plenty of chocolate and goodies to go around! I think we will have this party around the 23rd or so of Dec.
All are welcome to participate in this! Therefore, the more the merrier! The more joy and love we can spread across VMK the happier a place it will be.
A few disclaimers:
If for any reason your secret Santa is NOT gifting you, please oh please PM me and let me know. I will figure out a solution. But only PM me. You never know what may be going on in their life at the time. They may be busy and what not. So be patient.
If you have any questions or concerns feel free to PM me. if I have made a mistake on your wishlist or name please PM me and let me know about it so I can fix it. I will try and check this daily for updating.
And most of all Have fun with this! It should be a blast! I am really looking forward to showering someone with gifts VMK style!
Finally. The list of who got who.
Drum Roll Please.
Thank you to all of you who participated. I hope it was fun. I know it was a crazy for me, but lots of fun.
