Hello THP!!! It's time to get the 2021 Holiday Secret Gift Exchange rolling!!!

For those that have not participated previously, this is a secret gift exchange. You will not know who sent you your gifts. I will be the only one that knows who is sending who gifts because somebody has to organize the joy and I know how to keep secrets.

Please read the following information carefully and completely prior to sending me a DM. Sending me a forum DM is the only way for you to be added to the list to participate. Just saying in this thread that you are “in” will not actually get you in.

Rules:
  1. You must be a 2022 Albatross Club member to participate. Here is the link to the thread with the information on joining if you have not already done so: https://www.thehackersparadise.com/...making-a-difference-helping-children.8934755/
  2. If you would like to participate, please send me a DM through the THP forum no later than November 12, 2021 at 11:00pm EST. This is a hard deadline as I will begin drawing the recipient matches very soon after the deadline and will send out your assigned recipient’s information no later than 11/14/21.
  3. In your DM, please include your forum name and full shipping address, obviously including your real name. Please make sure your information is complete and accurate because the DM you send me will be forwarded directly to your assigned Secret Santa. For you that are experienced in life like I am, you will probably recognize the old computer term GIGO (garbage in garbage out). Add the items in #4 below to this DM if you so desire. Please do not send two separate DMs. *** Please use the template below when sending me your information ***
  4. It's a lot of fun searching through member posts trying to find out what they like but if you want to include the following information in your DM to me (after forum name and full mailing address), I can pass it along to your Secret Santa:
    • Glove Size
    • Hat Size
    • Shirt Size
    • RH or LH
    • *** Inclusion of this information does not guarantee that you will receive any of the items associated with this information.
  5. As a general rule of thumb, gift(s) you send should be valued at a minimum of $25. You can spend more if you like, but it's completely up to you.
  6. All packages need to be shipped no later than December 6th. The deadline dates and my communication to you of your gift recipients information will allow at least 3 full weeks of shopping. If you encounter a problem and have to send it a little later than that, please DM me so I can let your gift recipient know that there will be a delay in them receiving their gift(s).
  7. Please send me the shipping tracking information as the confirmation that you have sent out your gift(s).
  8. You MUST post a picture or video in this thread of what you receive so we can all enjoy the reactions!

Please follow this template (with your information in place of the sample information I completed :D) for the information that you send me in your DM:

Forum Name: Secret_Santa

Mailing address:
Santa Clause
1234 Rudolph Drive
North Pole, SD 123456

Glove Size: Men's Large worn on left hand
Hat Size: L/XL
Shirt Size: Men's Large
Dexterity: RH


As usual, let's have some fun with this everyone!!!
