This will be our 12th annual Secret Santa! Last one was a wonderful success and I hope that we can make this year's just as awesome.

Rules
Minimum of people suggested for participation is: 10
Deadline to sign up is: 12/09/2024
Gifts: Can range from $5-$30 and be family friendly in nature. You don't need to be a baller to participate. Please consider your shipping fees.
Shipped: Gifts to your Secret Santa should be shipped by 12/16/2024 to ensure items will be received by Xmas.

Expectations
I believe here, among our family, a lot of this could go unsaid. But just so we're all on the same page, I'll list up some expectations.

If you signup to participate and do not remove your name from the list by the deadline, you have committed yourself to purchase a gift for your Secret Santa.

If you change your mind and do not want to participate, please let me know by the signup deadline so I can match up the remaining Secret Santas and get information out promptly.

Questions
* How do I participate?
If you want to participate, please put your name on the list. Then send me a PM that contains your name and address so that your Secret Santa can mail out your gift.

* What will you do with my information?
I will not sell or give out anyone information to anyone else other than your Secret Santa. After everyone is accounted for and has received their Secret Santa gift, I will delete/destroy the master list containing everyone's information.

* How will my Secret Santa know what to get me?
Here are some past examples to help you:

T-shirts
Key Chains
Cleaning supplies
Lights
Toys

* Where can I find gifts for a BMW enthusiast in that price range?
There are many vendors out there with small items you can purchase.

Please PM Fredo with any questions.

Enjoy !

Thanks for organizing again Fredo.
Getting worried that I might have to start changing my gift this year as I will likely get a secret Santa, I have already had in the past.
