Flowergame Secret Santa - sign up closed

Over in the Dragon Cave thread, LadyNova suggested a Secret Santa and I love that idea.

Here is how I think it could work:

SIGNING UP

- You post here to sign up, and also make sure to let us know if you're away over the holidays (in that case your secret Santa will have to send the gift link some other time, or it'll expire).
- In a week or so I'll post "closed" where it says "open" now and I'll pair everyone off and send out the names (if there's an odd number of participants, I'll participate, otherwise not).

GIFTIG

not-so-secret option:
- on december 25th (or later/sooner if they specified they aren't there), you send a PM with a gift link and a little message to your giftee. PRO: everyone will get their gift and know whom to thank CON: it's not secret

super-secret option:
- on december 25th you send ME (and maybe a volunteer) the link and message and I/we will send it on to your giftee. PRO: it's super secret CON: I may not be able to send messages that come in too late as I'm going away on the 26th (I will have internet access later, and if there are volunteers this may not be a problem anyway)

What do you think?

SIGN UP IS NOW
CLOSED

Thank you LadyNova, and yes, the gifts are flowers with a little personal message (or anything else that can be sent in a PM).

You're right, but you could choose not to look (but if you get a PM you can't not see who sent it).

A DC Secret Santa seems more difficult since people will probably be egg locked, but that doesn't mean it can't be done.

No no, everyone will be part of two pairs, once as gifter and once as giftee.

I'd love to sign up, but I don't have many flowers in my garden... Will this do?

Don't worry, any little plant has value, after all it's the thought that counts!

Quote from Shelybear

When should we start to send the gift link (especially for those who is not around on 25th)?

I'm going to send out reminder PMs, probably no sooner than the 24th since the links only work for two days.

So far no one has mentioned not being there on the 25th. But if someone wants to sign up who leaves before the 24th, of course we can do it the way MiaSkywalker suggested.
