FOFC 2015 Secret Santa - 11 yrs running! (So Far 10 participating, would love more!)

It's that time of year again! I have had several people reach out to me already and ask me if I was going to run this again and of course! Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year. We are now going on our 11th year of the FOFC Secret Santa.


We will be using elfster again, and we will keep all the rules the same.

For those who do not know, the rules, keep the gifts under $30 (I think it's been $25 in the past, but I think $30 is solid). Try and get the gifts there before christmas and most of all....have fun! If you are on elfster and have participated in the past, I will be sending you an invite. If you haven't, just PM your email addy you signed up on Elfster with and I will get you added. Close date will be the 5th of Dec.

Those who are interested, post it here..also include if you are elfster or not. If you do not know elfster, head on over to elfster.com and sign up. It's free.

The past events are here:

2014 Secret Santa
2013 Secret Santa
2012 Secret Santa
2011 Secret Santa
2010 Secret Santa
2009 Secret Santa
2008 Secret Santa
2007 Secret Santa
2006 Secret Santa
2005 Secret Santa
2004 Secret Santa

I agree guys. I know some of you are on the fence about this, but it's really a nice opportunity for our FOFC group to bond a little more. This will only be the third year that I've done it and the best part is clearly the shopping.

I think we're generally around 30$, but a well thought out gift that costs less is still appreciated.

$30 or less, and to me, it is all about the shopping, research for the person.

I know elfster has the wishlist feature, but I still prefer researching and finding out more about the person.

C'mon guys! We need some more people. There's 8 of us participating, but the more the merrier. It's worth it!

Bump!

Still sitting at 8...would love to hit double digits. Deadline is the 5th.

This is an amazing event that has been going on for a while and every time people have participated they have loved it.

Bump...we are at 9 as MBBF has signed up. I am just waiting for him to accept the Elfster invite.

Tomorrow after Midnight Elfster will draw the names. It is also set to not have past exchange matchups from Elfster. Meaning since we have used elfster, you won't get the same person as before.

Anyways, sign up...have fun, this is truly one of my favorite parts of Christmas...and being a member of this board.

Awesome! Sent you a message on Elfster. You should also have an invite in your email from Elfster and the exchange.

Merry Christmas.

I got my gift today, a couple books and some yummy BBQ sauce from Cincy.

I have no good guess as to who sent it, so I'll hold off for now.

Thanks mystery Santa!

And sorry to the person receiving my gift, I just sent it. I am hoping it will arrive before Christmas, but with the chocolate business launching, I have been working non stop between the real job and the business.
