Secret Santa 2007

boobaby · Kate Spade

I would be down for participating. Organizing something like this is beyond my skills set, otherwise I would offer to help. wink

Lilykind · Hermes

I'd definitely want to participate too. smile

KaffeeKlatsch · Marc Jacobs

I'd like to participate and would be willing to help organize.

Hermes

we should possibly brainstorm on some participation criteria like # of posts, mailing address, email address, and phone number.

we had two participants get shafted by their assigned secret santa last year. the ST secret elf happily stepped in, but I don't want to set the precedent that it's ok to shaft people and all is well.

I'm thinking 2000 posts? require that information for participation is sent via email to an ST secret santa email box (I would give access to the organizers.) More or less posts? opinions?

Collette · Chanel

I would definately participate and would be willing to help organize.
D I agree with you on there being some sort of criteria for participation. # of posts etc. I'd hate for anyone to get shafted this year.

Jahni · Dooney & Bourke

I had a lot of fun with it last year...not sure I can catch up to 2000 post between now and then though..lol.

HeatherLynn · Gucci

I think it's a good idea to have a more strict criteria so that people don't get the shaft like previous years. I'm in!

relrel · Marc Jacobs

I'm totally in. And I do agree that participation criteria is necessary, but 2000 might be slightly high. There are tons of girls who are an integral and fun part of ST without having 2000 posts. We don't want to leave anybody out like past years! If any help is needed, send me a PM..I've got lots of free time now that I'm not in school.

Kelly · Hermes

I kind of agree that 2000 is a bit high. What about something like at least 500 posts and been a member for at least 6 months?

blink · Coach

I want in this year!

squishy · Coach

i'm probably going to be in limbo this holiday season, so i can't participate.

but i can be the enforcer (a la the decider) and prod the delinquents!

Cortney1982 · Chanel

I want in again!

The criteria issue is definitely a tough one. I do think if we set the bar too low for posts we might have people flake. At the same time, it's unfair to honest individuals who would like to participate...

erin · Chanel

maybe we could have it prorated, like it's ok if you have a lower posting # but have been registered for longer?

i'm definitely in for this! i love shopping for other people :)

I think Erin has a good idea here.

I'm totally in!

Kari · Dooney & Bourke

I participated last year too. I feel like setting a very high post limit is a little unfair. I have been participating since the Lucky days, then fashionhag and would hate to think I couldn't participate since my posting has decreased.

Any thoughts about setting a post limit or in the alternative length of membership limit?

MissMee · Kate Spade

I'd like to participate this year, having missed last year. I don't like the # of posts as criteria, though. A lot of us just don't have the time to make thousands of posts. Erin's idea is good.

ladysi78250 · Dooney & Bourke

I also agree that rules should be applied to avoid any past issues with the Secret Santa. But the # of posts is also high, I don't think I could catch up to 2000 posts. But this will be my third Secret Santa, and I been a member for a long time.

D, let me know what you decide, and I will go forth to organize if thats okay with you.

FashionPrincess · Hermes

Count me in... I've had so much fun buying the gifts the last two years! And it's always fun to get something in the mail!

kenzie · Chanel

I'm in this year and I like erin's idea.
