Secret Santa time is here again.

One of Audiokarma’s long-standing traditions is the annual Secret Santa. It is great fun, and a cool way to celebrate the holidays.

You sign up for this event, by posting to THIS THREAD ONLY. This thread will remain open until November 21st, at 9 pm, EST. Please send me an email, with the words SECRET SANTA as the subject, containing your actual name and mailing address and your AK username, to luvvinvinyl@audiokarma.org. After the thread closes, I will send everyone the name and address of their intended recipient.

The limit this year is $35, not including shipping. Please allow enough time for your gift to reach its destination by December 18th. Remember that your Secret Santa gift may have to travel to another country.

Gifts may be audio-related, but need not be so. Half the fun is reading the posts of your recipient, and picking out something special for them.

You can read about past Secret Santas in the threads in this forum. Join us in the AK holiday spirit.

I'm in.

One question -

I already know what I'll send. It's something I got off of CL for $30, so it's within the guidelines.

Do I have to consider what my recipient wishes for, or can I send this without that consideration?

You can do pretty much what you want. One year I read 500 posts made by my recipient and still didn't have a clue about what he might like. He was a Mod so his posts were of a work nature... very boring. :D

Count me in Ernie. Email sent.

Check the name of the poster of post number 41. Said author has not yet sent his address to me, via email, and I will be perturbed if I have to chase him to get his address.

Oh, and BUMP!

No problem. I just didn't want you to get left out. I have gotten some great stuff, over the years, and so have many others. The fun part is reading through the posts of someone I don't know, to figure out what to send them.

BUMP!

PS! Are we paired up - i.e., Person A and Person B give to each other (bilaterally) and so forth, or is random in all directions?

luvvinvinyl

No reciprocity, just a one-way shift: A gives to B, B gives to C, and so on...

I have an email from everyone that has posted in the thread. Thanks, very much, gents.

Anyone else?
