UKY Secret Santa
« on: November 01, 2018, 03:55:14 PM »
It has been a while, but I'm thinking UKY Secret Santa should make a return... seeing as Santa has also decided to recently make an appearance.  :)

As an informal poll, who would be interested, and what does everyone think a good budget would be?  £5 plus shipping?

If there's enough interest, I'm happy to organise, but for safety, wouldn't say no to a deputy in case of problems.

I'm interested :).

In the past, we've had a budget of £10 (or $15 if you're in the US), which I think worked quite well - not too much, but enough to get a decent gift :).

Ahhh, you're great Aquila!  Yes, I'm up for it. We're a good ole bunch these days and it would be fun.

£7.50 is a good limit to me. £5 is a hard limit to stick to, but £10 too much.  So splitting the difference.

I'd love to! I'm good for whatever budget. £10 + shipping sounds fair. Count me in!  ;D

I'm in, up to £10 (you aren't required to spend that much!) seems reasonable to me too :)

Count me in, and also a vote for £10 plus shipping. £5 is too hard to stick to, but for £10 you can usually get something nice.

I'm in. My limit is 6 BILLION dollars. Or £10, whichever everyone agrees to.

I'm so glad you said this... I don't know why, but Secret Santa and I do not get along.  I love Pass the Parcel, but I can't do this one, I'm afraid.  I can't explain why.  Maybe it's the deadline...?
