Social Media Secret Santa: join the fun!

I know it feels waaay too early to start thinking about Christmas. I know. But I’m the anti-Grinch. I love Christmas. And I want you to love it too!

I’ve been cooking up this idea for a while. I’ve hosted gift exchanges on my blog before, and they were fun. I thought this might be another good way to give and have fun. For those that haven’t heard of a secret santa before, it’s where you buy gifts for another person and keep it as a surprise – until you reveal later on.

You’ll submit your details in a private form and then at a later date be given your gift recipient’s details. You can stalk them on their blog and on Twitter to take a guess at what they might like receiving. The gift limit is $30. This doesn’t include postage, sending the gift to them is on top of this cost. You can buy things online for them, or at your favourite local store. You could even make something yourself to add to the gift.

Details:

♥ To take part you must submit your details by November 10th 2011

♥ Partners will be allocated and emailed by November 15th 2011

♥ You must send your gift by December 10th 2011

♥ Gift limit is $30 {postage is on top of that}

♥ This is open to bloggers who have had a blog for 3 months or more. {I’m sorry to those who don’t blog, but in the past with gift exchanges it’s been difficult to make people accountable – I am hoping this will solve that issue}. If you’re on Twitter but don’t have a blog and want to play along – please email me so we can work it out

♥ Your details will not be shared with anyone except the person buying your gift

♥ I’ve created a Facebook group for any conversations around the Secret Santa, including the final reveal

♥ The lovely Sarah and I will be allocating partners. This will be done randomly. If you live overseas {not in Australia} but would like to take part, you must be willing to post a gift to someone living in Australia. You will note that I’ve asked in the survey if you’re willing to send overseas. This applies to Australians as well, who are willing to send to bloggers who live overseas. Obviously postage overseas will cost slightly extra.

♥ The hashtag for Twitter is #SMSecretSanta

♥ Please only participate if you can follow through. It can be very disappointing to play along and then not receive a gift. I can not take any responsibility for gifts not arriving or participants not playing properly

Once you’ve selected to join in the Secret Santa fun, you can join the group on Facebook – in case you need hints and tips on what to buy your gift recipient.

  20. Oh I would LOVE to be in this if I can! I've only had my blog for 1.5 months so far, but I promise I am reliable and I LIVE to give presents!!! Just ask @beloverly or @Reemski – they'll vouch for me!

    No worries if you need to be strict on the 3 month blogging rule though, gotta draw the line somewhere! : )
