The 4th Annual JPHiP Secret Santa
Previous Exchanges: 2011 - 2010 - 2009

Secret Santa is a Western holiday tradition in which members of a group are randomly assigned other members to whom they anonymously give a gift. Often practiced in workplaces, or amongst large families, participation in it is usually voluntary. It offers a way for many people to give and receive a gift at low cost to those involved.

It's getting to be that time again! Much like the last Secret Santa, the idea is to deliver your drawee some delicious candy, preferrably something native to your country/area. If you're not into candy for some reason, let em know in your wishlist what would be more suitable for you. The general spending limit is $5, but do keep in mind shipping may very well raise the total to $10-15.

If that's too much to swing, or you hate candy, then sign up for the Secret Santa Penpal instead! The idea is to send a handmade Christmas card (or letter, if they don't celebrate xmas). No store bought Hallmark junk here!

Signup Deadline: December 09 - I will draw names at the end of the day, Elfster will in turn send you an email with information on the person you drew. Please only sign-up if you intend to participate, and withdraw if circumstances change.

Please, add your mailing address to Elfster. If they forgot to list mailing info or add in any wishes, you can attempt to ask them questions through Elfster, or (better) ask myself or another moderator to try and prod them for information.
Please, add your JPHiP username to Elfster. - Not everyone is pals on Facebook!
Please, only sign up if you intend to send something. - To this end, you must have 100 posts (or special permission) to take part.

Elfster (the site that is managing the exchange for us), has various privacy features. You address will only be shown to the person that draws you. If you are uncomfortable with certain people possibly having your information, PM me with a list of restrictions you would like for who can draw you, and I'll take care of it.

Were you blown off before? Let me know, and I will make it right

Count me in. Now waiting for papercraft requests, hopefully something that I can easily ship through at the post office.

At any rate, count me in for the candy/chocolate-fest!

Based on the few people who like my papercraft work, if I was your secret santa/penpal, what would want me to make for you?

Just make sure it's something I can mail through the post office (without getting arrested) and I can easily find online.

Saikami · « **Reply #14 on:** December 02, 2012, 09:22:37 PM »

^ Wind Waker Link, if it's not too hard~

arun.yothin · « **Reply #15 on:** December 04, 2012, 01:17:56 AM »

I'll jump in on these again. I hope you like drawings of sexy women.

(If you don't, let me know I'll draw you something else instead)

Hypothetically speaking, I wouldn't mind a Wing Zero Gundam (TV series, not from the movie).

Hypothetically speaking, of course.

Hart · « **Reply #18 on:** December 07, 2012, 04:31:28 AM »

^ Hypothetically speaking, I haven't found the TV version of Wing Zero, only the OVA/movie version.

JFC · « **Reply #19 on:** December 07, 2012, 04:45:51 AM »

^
Then hypothetically speaking, I'd be fine with any of the Gundam Wing series.
