The Secret Santa Information Thread
Update 12/19:
Please send me a PM if you anticipate having problems getting your cards out before the December 24th deadline.
Update 12/14:
We'll do a showoff thread in January most everyone should've received their gifts.
Update 12/12:
Reminder: The cumulative value of the cards you send should fall between $20-40 cash. For those shipping domestically, try to mail out by Saturday, December 17.
Update 12/05:
Just a reminder that those who're shipping across international borders should try to mail out by December 11, the end of this week.
Update 11/17:
Q: Should we send out as early as today or hold off?
A: Let's aim for the 1st week of December for international packages, and the 2nd week for domestic.
Update 11/16:
All PMs sent out and you should now know who you're assigned to. PM me or post out here with any questions.
