Holiday gift exchange/ secret santa for ONTD_Hogwarts PSA
Hello everyone!
I just want to let everyone know there is only a few days left to sign up for the gift exchange.
In order to keep this confidential! I ask that all signups get sent to The Official Hogwarts Secret Santa Email Address! at hogwartssanta@gmail.com
*THE RULES!*
1. Deadline to sign up is October 31th, 2011.
2. You will be notified of your partner on or about Nov 15th, 2011 by email.
3. Spending limit is about $15.00 this does not mean you have to go out and spend exactly $15. You can use anything at your disposal. It is the thought that counts, not the cost!!
4. Mail to your partner by December 25th! (A little leeway is ok, but please try for before New Year's!)
5. You are not required to make a gift that is an option. A homemade gift is always nice but at this time of year we understand if that might not be possible. Make sure you count the cost of your homemade gift in the $15.
6. PLEASE NOTE: Your address, should you provide it, will be sent to someone else who participates on this forum. The only people who will see it are myself, the volunteers, and your Santa. If you have any concerns about this, I would suggest optioning the online gift.
7. If you find out that you cannot participate after having signed up, PLEASE EMAIL ME AND LET ME KNOW AS SOON AS YOU CAN! I don't have a problem switching around a few things so that everyone is covered. If I don't hear from you, I'll assume a gift is being sent in one form or another. For those who may unfortunately be a victim of this, there will be an "I've been scrooged!" submission date. This applies for both physical gifts and online gifting.
8. To participate, please send an email to hogwartssanta@gmail.com

(*Note* Your Santa will not see this info but, it is important so I can make everyone as happy as possible.)
Will you be sending a Physical Gift/Card Only/Online Gift ?
For physical gift/card only options: Are you willing to ship internationally?
As a santa, are you willing to act as a "de-scrooger"? A de-scrooger is someone who sends someone who got scrooged a gift without reciprocation:
Note: Due to past experience, should you choose to exchange online gifts, please understand that I can't be responsible if you do not receive a gift as there are no tracking system for emailing. I will try my best to find out from your Santa or arrange for de-scrooging.
I advise you to join/watch http://ontd-hp-ss.livejournal.com community so that you'll receive updates regarding SS. I will try to cross-post to ontd_hogwarts whenever possible, but I'd prefer to not clutter the comm.
Any questions, please leave a comment and I'll try my best to reply a.s.a.p.
Thanks so much for your interest!
