Icrontic Secret Santas, 2009 edition

Time for the third annual secret santas!

Copy/paste rules from last thread:

I'm organizing an icrontic secret santa dealy. If you know what it is, and are interested, send me a pm with:
  1. Real Name
  2. Address
  3. VALID email address
  4. Any special shipping instruction.

I'll close the entries on Nov 24, giving about 4 weeks for you to choose and deliver your sweet presents.

Let's set an upper limit on gift price...say $30. There is no "lower" limit, but don't be a D-bag.

If you don't know what it is, here's a quick overview:
1) People sign up.
2) I randomly choose everyone's secret santa, and tell everyone who their secret santee is.
2a) You don't tell anyone.
2b) People will be assigned other participants from their country, to minimize shipping costs. (If intra-country matchup isn't possible, you europeans will probably get paired with someone on the same continent)
3) You send a unique, cool, and fairly inexpensive gift to your assigned recipient. Make it something that's not generic...


Things you shouldn't do:
1) Not send a present.
2) Send a ridiculously cheap gift
3) Send a gift certificate or some such.
4) Be a dick - some humor is awesome, but keep it somewhat friendly.
5) Ask your assigned recipient what he/she wants. The idea is that you should be thoughtful and the person will be surprised.

If you do these things, you probably won't be allowed to participate in future santa-related events. Plus, I might stab you. So far, we've only had one person not send a gift.

If there are questions, comments, concerns, or others - maek poast here.

It actually pissed me off so bad that shwaip couldn't edit the list in his original post that I bumped the time limit on editing from 1 day to 10. Heck with spammers; they can't get a single round off around here anyway.
