Last year was fun, so it's time for another High Roller Secret Santa gift exchange! This is still technically an unofficial gift exchange, so please keep that in mind!

Any subscriber without a current BTR that has earned a Gold Silver Star () is eligible to sign up (I know the official Secret Santa allows bronze, but since this is a higher value exchange, I’m being pickier with who gets in!)

The quick version of how to participate:

Post here in the thread that you would like to participate! Send me a PM titled "High Roller Secret Santa 2022 – Registration" The context of the PM must include the phrase “I am in.” along with your address. If approved, I will then ask you to send me your want list, before the Wednesday deadline. Update all of your Wanted lists (on the site here) and send me that list of wants through the same PM titled "High Roller Secret Santa 2022 " Please send me your want list ASAP, as that will ensure your partner receives it in a timely manner. After you ship your gift, go back to the same PM titled "High Roller Secret Santa 2022 " and say "sent.” Along with providing any needed tracking information. After you receive your gift, go back to the PM "High Roller Secret Santa 2022" and say "received" and then be sure to thank your Santa in this topic!

The details:

Signups are open now and will continue until Sunday, November 20th. Partners will then be assigned and PM'd out within the following couple of days. Gifts must be received by Friday, December 30th The target gift value for this exchange is $50 USD. Gifts MUST be worth a minimum of $50 US not including shipping. Every effort should be made to send a complete item. If you are sending something used, it should be complete and in at least "very good" condition. This is not a way to unload your unwanted crap. That said, if the recipient is okay with cartridge/disc only, so be it! Unfortunately, because it is too difficult to manage, I will not be allowing international users. If we develop a better management system in the future, I’d love to include everybody!

Tips/Additional Rules:

Look at your partner's wants and check his/her lists and posts. Put the same effort into selecting a gift for your partner that you would want someone else to put into yours. If your partner has inadequate "wants", don't give up! Try to figure it out. If you really get stuck, try a gift card or something like that! Make sure you provide adequate "wants" for your Santa. There should be at least 4-5 things on your list that fit in the target price/value range. When you get assigned a partner, start figuring out what you are going to get them! Immediately. Don't wait until the last minute! In most cases, the person that you are assigned to is NOT the same person that is assigned to you. In other words, you aren't just making a 1-to-1 exchange with someone. You're buying a gift for someone that, most likely, is buying a gift for someone else entirely. After you've received your gift, post in this thread thanking your Santa for what you received -- just so they know you appreciate whatever it was! (Or, if you've figured out who your Santa is somehow, you can just thank them privately if you'd rather.) Don't leave your Santa hanging without acknowledging their gift! Problematic users will NOT be allowed to participate. Please keep this a drama-free gift exchange Keep in touch throughout. Communication is key!

WARNING

Some people suck. Despite our best efforts, people might still get stiffed. If you don't intend to follow through on your commitment here, please do not sign up.

I'm just going to go ahead and tag the active members who participated during the summer or last winter to see who else would like in. If you can think of someone else who would be interested feel free to let them know

@Frank appreciate the tag. I've been spending like crazy lately, but still might be able to do this. I'll be running right up against the window to sign-up to see if I can make it work.
