kensei: Dec 27, 2007; He'll finally get a ring!

Sign-ups ended on November 25th.

It's getting to be that time of the year again. Days are getting shorter, holiday decorations are coming out, and the ~~NHL started~~. Yes, it's almost the Christmas season. That means random people from the internet sending you weird sports-related gifts!

This will be the thread for sign-ups and discussion. Here are the basic rules:

* As long as you registered here before September 30, 2011, you are perfectly eligible to participate, if you are in the US or elsewhere. If you are newer than this, but still wish to participate, get a hold of me via Twitter or IRC or whatever.
* The basic spending limit is $20. Feel free to go over or under that at your discretion. Remember, it's the thought that counts. Use the $20 limit as a guideline, not an absolute.
* Sign-ups ended on November 25th.

Do not post your address in this thread. Only post that you're interested in here. This is so I can verify everyone who is signed up.

Once you do this, everything will be good to go. People will be matched up with one another and within a couple days of the final sign-up deadline, everyone will be matched up with one another.

Have fun with this! Happy Holidays!

e: The address field is one big line, it will be fine. Also, use the Special things box if you want to only ship international, and I will flag your entry. Thanks for the suggestions.

Cool! It was also pointed out that I overwrote the email address field, so if you and frot lesnar can get that to me, I'll add to the sheet!

Thanks!

IcePhoenix: Sep 18, 2005; There is no future. There is no past. Do you see? Time is simultaneous, an intricately structured jewel that humans insist on viewing one edge at a time, when the whole design is visible in every facet.

I enjoy doing this thing and would like to do it again

FairGame: Jul 24, 2001; Oh, I feel it! I feel the Kozmas!

I got stiffed last year. Can we make sure that doesn't happen again? It's a bummer.

Anyways, in.

You know I'm in. Still a lil peeved that OKCecil got run off the forums or whatever because I spent way too much money printing and sending him this full-size poster that I hand-drew and he never got to post it

So I am posting it now, instead.

Super pumped as always for this

If I get you, I will get you the most glorious gift for curing racism in baseball.

Also, I'm in. I have a real job now that makes money, so I won't have to skimp this time around!

I got him Miguel Batista's mystery thriller book with a signed baseball card of him to use as a bookmark. I thought it was the most clever gift ever

Last year I got an autographed picture of Lane Kiffin as the Raiders coach. It hangs over my Warhammer painting table now!

Delicious Sci Fi: Jul 17, 2006; You cannot lose if you do not play.

In again, hoping I don't get stiffed again this year but most of the fun is picking out a gift.

In my first year as a semi-regular SAS poster, I am in!

axeil: Feb 14, 2006; The Philadelphia Eagles are merely a series of booms and busts; the long run trend of the franchise is positive.

But the long run is a misleading guide to professional football. In the long run we are all dead.

I've never done this. Is it basically what it sounds like? Buy a gift for a SAS friend related to their favorite team? Does it need to be super creative? I'm worried I won't be able to find something awesome enough for people I don't know that well. I don't wanna be the lovely guy during secret santa.

# ? Oct 6, 2012 06:45

HOTLANTA MAN: Jul 4, 2010; ~~**I'M OLD AS FUCK**~~

Sure, I'll do it again!

That's exactly right. You'd be surprised what you can find on the internet related to sports teams. Some people do a gimmick gift and a serious gift, some people make things (like that awesome poster above), and some people just buy really awesome things like the incredible bat I got last year. It's really fun!

I have not really been posting in SAS, but I still prefer SASSS instead of others. I'm in and I think I give some decent gifts that can be placed in an office or in the home.

mentholmoose: Nov 4, 2009; YKNOW IF LALONGO GOES TA PHILADELPHIA HE SHOULD HANG OUT WITH ROCKY BALBOA I HEAR HE STILL LIVES THERE

Should we use the gift ideas for hat/clothes sizes?

That, or the special things to know field. Either way is fine!

Infidel Castro: Jun 8, 2010; WHATCHA GONNA DO, BROTHER?!

So in on this. Hopefully my Santee actually acknowledges that their gift arrived this time. For all I know that Aaron Rodgers hand puppet is lost in USPS limbo.
