I'm a big fan of Christmas, the present giving and all that, and, as the mixtape swaps are taking a bit of time off, I thought it might be fun to do a Secret Santa.

Each person who takes part would buy a present to the value of, say £7 / 10.50 Euro / US$ 13.50, without knowing who it's going to go to, send it to me with a small amount of money for onward postage, and I would then randomly distribute the presents among the people who have taken part (doing my best to make sure that I don't send anything back to the person who bought it in the first place). Ideally the presents would be sent to me before ATP so that I could get an American at ATP to help with the distribution.

The present could be, say, a CD or a book. The only things I would ask is that it's nothing illegal and that it isn't too big to fit through a letter box.

Whether this will actually happen will depend on whether there are enough takers.

Anyone interested?

secret santa could turn awful nasty judging how much some people dislike eachother here.

my first thought was to end a homemade t shirt.

Wonderful idea. We should all get the names of who we are buying gifts for beforehand. Double-blind secret santa is lame.

Before putting the gift inside the envelope, if each person wraps it and writes who it's from then mistakes should be easy to avoid.

my gifts start around 50 dollars. nothing less, or a combined of fifty dollars. it all depends on my budget.

However I already have to many people on my list.

I couldn't decide whether to make it a thing where people knew who their gift would go to or not, but I decided that to do that could end up a bit difficult on the basis that there's often quite a few drop-outs on the mix-tape thing. I wouldn't want to tell person A that he or she is buying for person B and person B that he's buying for person C, and then find that person A drops out and person B gives a gift but doesn't get one.

I also wanted to keep the amount spent reasonably low on the basis that not everyone is employed or well paid and I wouldn't want anyone to feel excluded because they feel that the suggested price was too high. I figured that the amount I've suggested would be enough for a paperback book, or a cheap CD / CD single / CDR, or the materials to make something for those among us who are creative. If there's a general feeling that the amount I've suggested is too low, then I'll change it to something a bit higher. And, of course, if anyone wanted to spend more than the suggested amount, I'm not going to stop them.

Anyone who definitely wants to take part, PM me. Once I've got ten names, I'll post that it's definitely going to go ahead and PM my address to the participants.
