Okay, so for interested people, I have:

1.  ksand
2.  phatbeetle
3.  larrabee
4.  MrsMagpie
5.  margo
6.  historyenne
7.  Rick Stephens
8.  nctami
9.  Nan
10.  exr0se

Anyone else?

I'm thinking, tentatively, deadline for signing up as Nov 12th, and the deadline for package receipt as Dec 14th, and potential opening the weekend of the 15th or 16th?

That gives 1 week to sign up and 5 weeks to obtain and mail the gift if my quick calender maths are correct?

And it seems people are okay with £8-£10 as a budget?

Only just seeing this - I'm interested assuming there's a chance we'd get the mail prior to the 19th of December as that's when I'm out of the country for the holidays :) If not, I will sit out this year and will do it next year when I'm in the UK for Christmas - no big!

I'm thinking maybe I could ask whoever your secret Santa is if he or she is okay sending a gift earlier?  If not, I can re-assign to someone who is okay with that?

Not a problem. I don't want to cause any over-complications. Worse case scenario, it could be sent and I just wouldn't get it until I'm back in January :)

If we're going to do this, perhaps we should have a final call for sign up and then get cracking?  [smiley=elf.gif]

And I'm happy to help if you need any assistance, just tell me what I can do!  :)

Ooh, I didn't realize the deadline for this had gone. Is it too late to sign up?

Looks like we are going to have a fun Secret Santa this year.  :)  And if you're just seeing this now and want to join in, add your name to the list and see below:

To all participants...

PM me with the following information, and I'll get the elves on the case.  :D

1.  Your real name
2.  Your address (or where you want your present posted to)
3.  A brief outline of what you like (any hobbies, interests, etc.)
4.  A brief outline of what you don't like (for example, if you don't wear cosmetics)
5.  IMPORTANT - If there's anything  you absolutely cannot receive (for example, you're allergic to peanuts, are unable to have alcohol, etc.)
