OCUK Secret Santa - The Discussion

CliffyBiro · 21 Oct 2008 at 20:45

The draw has been made. You will all have received the name and address of the person you will be buying a gift for.

These names were drawn at random and the emails were sent using a generator with a generic email.

The only thing that varied between emails were personal details.

I don't even know who got who yet.

I have stored the file and will reveal it on the 25th December.

DON'T FORGET, YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE YOUR PRESENT ARRIVES BEFORE THE 15th DECEMBER

Please use this thread for discussion. Let's create a buzz about this.

Gift ordered

RandomTom · 21 Oct 2008 at 21:13

Woop, received too. Now, cue me stalking their ocuk habits and finding a present completely not what they're looking for

If this goes well, I'll do another next year but I'll need a helper as it was hard enough getting 38 people organised.

InvaderGIR · 21 Oct 2008 at 21:18

Hmmm I need to work out what I have to buy. I'm not one to be mean, not in the previous suggestion way anyway.

Talbs13 · 21 Oct 2008 at 21:19

Remember to give me a shout this time next year then and I'll be santa's little helper

GreenMint · 21 Oct 2008 at 21:20

I know who I have!

This should be fun! What to buy? what to buy?

Cairnsey · 21 Oct 2008 at 21:20

Good effort skippi90!

Ha, exactly.

I know I'm 14 months ahead, but you can probably count me in!

CliffyBiro · 21 Oct 2008 at 21:22

All of my work is basically done.

I just need to buy a gift and that's me done.

Unless of course someone fails to send a gift, in which case, I expect everyone in this thread to go nuts on his/her trust.

CliffyBiro · 21 Oct 2008 at 21:24

REMINDER!

You would be safer NOT to put a return address on any gifts in case you get found out.

The last one of these I took part in, I realised who sent it from the return address they had put on it.

peterattheboro · 21 Oct 2008 at 21:26

Cheers. I know this member is quite well known so I need to a bit of research and see what he/she likes

Can you say who sent the present, with the present or is that a secret too?

(Guess not.

)

Mr Jones · 21 Oct 2008 at 21:27

I don't know this person whom I'm sending out to, have to read all this post to know what type of person he/she is...

CliffyBiro · 21 Oct 2008 at 21:30

I've just realised I may have made a mistake.

Not a big one and not something that's going to change anything anyway but it will all become apparent on the reveal of who got who.

Secret Santa

Which is a shame in some ways, because I'd like to offer 'services' (cue gay comments) as well as the main present, like web design or free hosting or whatever...
