:frogsiren: YOSPOS Secret Santa 2016, because nobody else is doing it :frogsiren:

Ghosts of yosmas past:
2015: OFFICIAL YosPos Santa 2015: Yuletide Slay
2014: YosMas Secret Santa: Jesus Christ can we be done with this yet, it's mid january
2013: Your Secret Santa is a Piece Of poo poo 2013 - ur banned by now so w/e
2012: YOur Secret Santa is a Piece Of poo poo 2012 - technically they aren't ants
2011: YOSPOS Secret Santa 2011: it's the most wonderful time of the year

:regd08:



THE RULES, shamelessly copied from previous years:
  • Applicants will be matched arbitrarily.
  • Minimum is $20, not including shipping, but you can go way over that if you so desire. Just don't get mad if you send someone a $300 gift and the one you get back isn't up to the same standard.
  • Don't be lame. Drop-shipping from Amazon is kinda lame, depending. Use your best judgement.
  • Please don't send anything gross, or alive, or something that starts out alive and dies during shipping. Dormant yeast cultures are the exception assuming they are in foodsafe packaging.
  • You will be expected to post pictures of the stuff you receive.
  • Application deadline is Nov. 15, 2016 - let's try not to stretch this poo poo out through February this time.
  • Latecomers may form a second chain if there's enough of them by Nov. 30, 2016.
  • Shipments should go out by Dec. 15, 2016
  • If you fail to provide proof of shipment by Dec. 31, 2016 you will be BANNED

How to enter:
  • Send me a PM or email me at crazylittle at somethingawful-dot-com with the following:
    • Username + old usernames
    • Real name
    • Real address. Please specify if this is a work address, and please use an address you're sure will be permanent through the new year.
    • Your Secret Santas and Santees from years prior
    • Whether you are or are not interested in shipping internationally.

:justpost: Put a post in this thread :justpost:
  • Link your previous years if you can find it. See links above for threads of yosmas past.
  • Post your preferences, things that you'd like to... and like to NOT receive in a strange box from a stranger from the internet.
  • Post pictures of your pets. Especially if your pet is Trophy or any other pro tier cat.
  • Post your goony goon clothing size(s) if you're okay with getting bespoke gunmug t-shirts

any volunteer elves? PM me thx

I like cats, japanese monster figures, and cooking. Lately I've been airbrushing the aforementioned vinyl monsters
