Sorry, but this is my first time with the SS game. How do I get the address for the gift I am going to send? When I post that I sent it, do I post to whom (to avoid the recipient receiving multiple gifts [or does that matter?])? Gracias ---

She will also do the assigning, so everyone has only one gift to give and get. When you ship it you don’t post to whom, just that you sent it. Part of the surprise is when the recipient gets their gift - that’s when they find out who their santa was! ---

I’d like to play! I’ve sent the PM, and am willing to ship internationally. If I had a sender from Australia I’d just like some of the off the shelf candy that is more costly here in the US, because it’s imported. Violet Crumble, Jaffas, or those nummy Cherry Ripe bars. But I’ll take anything, although I love chocolate. Or if you are not US, but from an English speaking country, a cookbook or baking book would be fun. Other than that, fun little stuff from where you live, the kind of stuff tourists buy. I’m a real jackdaw at heart, and have a shelf full of knick-knacks. Hey, whatever you feel like sending, it will be cool. ---

I’m in. PM sent I like lime green (well, any color really), sports cars and sports car racing (not NASCAR), cats, gardening, historical fiction and SF, ornaments, stroopwafels and other foodie treats. ---

Just PMed! Let’s see… I’m a huge SF Giants fan, also SJ Sharks. I like earring and bracelets, but that’s about all I wear for jewelry Love dogs of all kinds, but especially pit bull-type dogs. Knit and crochet, so yarn, pretty much anything color or fiber Colors - jewel tones, esp red, orange, purple Chocolate - pretty much anything w/o coconut in it. 🙂 ---

I’m in. Sent the PM. I am in Mexico, so send something that doesn’t weigh much. Send it cheap. No problem if it doesn’t arrive before Xmas. I like food that is not available here. Don’t send me anything that I have to put on a shelf and dust. Nothing from China, because I will have to pay 3 times the value in taxes. Thanks for playing secret santa. Pako ---

I’m in, too. I like chocolate, And really candy of all kinds although I have too many caps and fillings to eat taffy or caramels anymore. I watch Sherlock, read mysteries (not too gory, a nice widow investigating things or anybody British), and like animals. I also like funny socks. If someone outside the US gets me, a magnet or something from where you live would be fun. ---

Sounds fun… Chocolate/Candy Geek Stuff Socks Books Interested in gadgets, numbers, lighting, watches, stand up comedy, some cooking - so anything you think would appeal to someone like that would probably appeal to me. I’m not picky and it doesn’t have to be anything related to that list. In fact - I like surprises - so I’d almost prefer something I haven’t thought of. Not into: Religion (I’m guessing that won’t be in issue here) Horror Overly healthy food Country style stuff Sports ---
