In Eve's absence, I've been asked to host this year's festivities!! We are getting started a few weeks later than normal but if you would like to participate, please email me at: [email protected] I've merged my summer rules with Eve's rules so please review all the rules before signing up. If you have any questions, just let me know! Have fun!

This is not an official GottaDeal.com event, so participate at your own risk. GottaDeal cannot be held responsible if you do not receive anything.
Please include in your email:
1. The exchanges in which you would like to participate;
2. Your forum username, your name and your address;
3. The answers to the questions below; (If you have any questions you think we should add to the list, please feel free to email or PM them to me!) - the questions are just for secret Santa/ornament exchange
4. And anything else you'd like your Secret Santa to know about you!
Questions!!
Rules:
1. Secret Santa - It's just like it sounds - a secret exchange of gifts! There's a MINIMUM of $10 before shipping. If you choose to spend more, please don't be disappointed if your partner doesn't.
2. Ornament Exchange - It's just like it sounds - an exchange of ornaments! There's a MINIMUM of $5 before shipping. If you choose to spend more, please don't be disappointed if your partner doesn't.
3. Card Exchange - What is this one? It's an exchange of holiday greeting cards. You send a card to everyone who signs up for the card exchange and you get one from everyone who signs up! Also, if you have a favorite holiday recipe, please include it with the cards you send out. You'll get some great ones in exchange too! There is no minimum (nor delivery confirmation) but please understand that you send a card to everyone on the list so if 50 people join the exchange, it would cost $22.50 in stamps to send them (current first class price is $0.45).
4. Delivery confirmation is a MUST. Please PM/email me the DC number so that we can keep track of everything.
5. Insurance from the USPS is a must it is only $1.70 for anything under $50.00. There have been issues in the past thus this rule has been added.
6. Everything must be sent in a BOX with PLENTY of padding. Again, prior issue now require that this be a rule.
7. No junk. Everything must be new/unused within reason. Used books, CDs, and DVDs are okay as long as they are in a like new condition that you would be okay with receiving.
8. The last day to sign up is Wednesday, October 31st. (I will have names out by no later than Sunday, November 4th)
9. The last day to ship is Monday, December 3rd (if you cannot ship by this date you must ship priority and PM me to let me know).
10. If you are participating in the Card Exchange, please feel free to ship any time. Just make sure to consider holiday mail deliver times.
11. You must have been a member since May 1, with some posting activity, in order to participate. This helps to make sure that only dedicated GottaDealers are participating and we have less of a chance of people flaking out. Also, if you have flaked on any of the 2011 events or the 2012 summer event, you will not be allowed to participate.
