As promised, the Straight Dope Secret Santa!

I just sent you my info. This sounds like a lot of fun. I do think there should be some $$$ boundries though.

I agree with Diane on setting a dollar limit.

drop, I said a good dildo costs more than $10. :wink:

And like andygirl, I do not want (another) dildo or vibrator. The real thing would be nice, however. But it needs to be attached to the rest of the guy.

Your forgot the exclamation point it needs to be… redhead!
:smiley:
Ok, so whoever draws my name needs to send me Palmyra.

I’d like to play too, e-mail sent.

This is bound to be entertaining. I can hardly wait for the thread in which we exclaim over Secret Santa’s thoughtfulness and insight into hidden facets of our personalities.

“Really. I NEEDED that ceramic elephant’s foot plant stand. I just didn’t know it. It completes the arboretum.”

zoggie, maybe a po box?

i’m in. i could use a new cushion.

I was in on the original, I’m in on this one.

FWIW, those ladies requesting “the real thing” rather than a dildo, whether or not I’m your secret santa, you’ll be welcome to ask for whatever gift you’d like, as far as that goes. Oh, and there is a guarantee, if you’re not completely satisfied, and I mean completely, simply come on back and I’ll continue until you are :slight_smile:

I sent the email, but I’ll add my name to the list here.

And I assume that Zoggie, if able to figure the logistics, will be requesting the X-rated category; just to see if the parent-types explode or simply smolder into a small pile of ashes.

I’m in…

This sounds like fun!

Secret Santa is my favorite!!!

Are we going to find out who our secret Santa is after Christmas or will it remain a secret?

I think we should only know who we are buying for… not who is buying for us. Then after Christmas we could have the Official Secret Santa list revealed and we will all talk about what we got and thank the buyer… or scold him/her… or maybe sue…

How about we just have a thread to discuss it, with all gifts coming from Santa? Thereby any unpleasant surprises are all HIS fault, sparing anyone from being publicly identified and possibly shot.

However, people could claim responsibility if the reaction was favorable.

Just my $0.02.

Hey, I’m just matchin people up!

After all gifts have been received, it’s entire up to you all if you want to reveal who you sent to, discuss gifts, etc.

If everyone wishes, though, I have no qualms unveiling the ‘official’ match list after everything has been recieved, or, keeping it all secret until the day I overdo… die.

I still think we need to put a price limit. That’ll save some feelings if someone buys a $50 gift and gets a $5 gift. I’m not saying that anyone would get upset but it would help to know what everyone else is doing.

I sent my email a few days ago. This is such a nifty idea!

A note to whoever gets me:

The riotous, raunchy sense of humor that runs through the SDMB is what keeps me coming back for more.

HOWEVER, being a married female with small children, I request a G-rated gift. My husband isn’t as “in” to the SDMB as I am, and if I were to get something wildly X-rated, especially if my Secret Santa turns out to be male, he’d be a little disturbed.

I enjoy reading and crafts, so a gift certificate to a bookstore or a craft store (we’ve got Borders & Michael’s here) would be really, really nice, and something I would definitely get a great deal of pleasure from.

Do something like that, and I can buy myself some X-rated reading material, or make myself something raunchy. :smiley:

I have no problem purchasing something X-rated for whomever I get, though!

I sent my email, hope it got there as I have been having some trouble. I eagerly await the thread that will erupt when the presents start being recieved!

Add me to the list… :slight_smile:

I propose a $20-$25 limit.

Any opposed?

Secret Santa! Great idea, Homer. I love it! Of course, I’m in. This would be soooo cool. Email will be on the way to you shortly.

As for me: I don’t really care what rating, as long as it comes wrapped so that my daughter doesn’t get any ideas. :wink:

Some suggestions: I love purple; any stuffed critters especially bears, cats and bunnies; miniature anything; surprise me on the X stuff, if that’s what someone wants to do; reading, especially sci-fi, fantasy and motivational; I sew, quilt, and do counted cross stitch and many other crafts; and I love plants and flowers.
I’d say a good man, but I already have a great one. :wink:
He’s just too far away from me right now. :frowning:

I should have come in here sooner…

i’m WHAT?!?!

that said… my e-mail is on the way (look - asking me does get gratified sometimes… :))
