If you want multiple wishlists per price range, simply send a new e-mail with
ALL OF THE SAME INFORMATION, but a different price range selected, and a different wishlist.

And last but not least a short FAQ as always! (A little bit redone/revised)
FAQ:
>Q: What is Secret S/a/nta?
A chance to give and receive gifts from other /a/nons locally, nationally, or even globally with a bit of X-mas spirit!
>Q: Who is hosting this event?
Your friendly hosts are santafaggot and SantaLoli. We are the same people who ran it last year!
>Q: How do I join?
You'll need to fill out the form as specific as possible when it's posted, sending it as an e-mail to us!
>Q: Deadline to join?
OCTOBER 26TH 12:00 AM PACIFIC STANDARD TIME!!! Why? Because we need to match which takes to at maximum 1 week, and then every anon needs to
buy gifts, make cards and whatever else in order to ensure everything arrives on time!
>Q: Why should I trust this?
It's up to you! In the past we have had multiple successful Secret S/a/nta events hosted by us the past few years.
The average on people not receiving gifts is very very low. We even have the grinch protection program which lets
people send gifts to those who didn't receive anything at all, even after X-mas!
>Q: Can I give you guys stuff?
We sadly do not accept anything, it's just our policy. The only thing that we do accept is fan-art, which we both
very much enjoy! Santa Loli will likely try to send out cookies (no card) this year to a lot of people randomly!

>I ALREADY JOINED, HOW DO I FIX SOMETHING?
A: If you need to make changes to your wishlist or address, or anything else:
please RE-SEND the application with the changes made as a reply or new e-mail!
This means send the whole application! It's the same process as last year!
Let me know too what changes were made.

>it's some of the worst stuff money can buy

>>148055237
I suppose. I wanted to do a gift or two and maybe some cards. Since I have no artistic skills I'm still on edge about cards since they might take me longer than the average anon. I just wanted to have some money set apart beforehand with added estimated shipping costs in case anything happens. One never knows when an unexpected expense might arise.

No specific items is better.
Anons will always feel obliged to get the requested items over other things. There is no fun or surprise.

>>148055458
Just do cards. If you have money then spoil them. If not, then you have a month to make and send some cards. What else would you be doing with your time anyway?

>>148055702
>Anons will always feel obliged to get the requested items over other things. There is no fun or surprise.

Likewise, there are anons that beat themselves up over trying to get something for for their assignment wishing they could've gotten something specific.

>>148055702
>Anons will always feel obliged to get the requested items over other things.
That's not true. I listed anime and specific items last year and the person got me something I didn't mention.

>>148055702
I agree. I always list item I have just to make sure they won't send something I already have but I always tell Anons to try to give handmade gift and list a bunch of favorite show .

What happens if you're whitelisted but just can't afford the $100+ bracket? Are the whitelisted people more likely to be matched with each other in the brackets under $100?

>>148055552
>A list of the items I already have

Actually being able to list what I already have would be an itinerary of about 1400+ items... I don't even bother saying what I might already have at this point since it'd just be daunting.

Hey ScarfAnon.

>>148056458
This is why you need to have an MFC account and put your shit in as you get it. Then just put the link in your wishlist.

Please don't die before I get out of work tomorrow ;_;

>>148056525
The 1400+ items is what my MFC account tells me I have. I sort of got tired of updating it in the past year so there's even more I own that isn't on there

>>148056392
I think you just can't enter anything above the $100 tier unless you're on the white list.

Ladies and gentlemen, it's time! I am now accepting applications for this year's batch of Christm/a/s CD's.

Here's how it works:
>Fill out the form
>list anime, anime OST's or an anime genre you love
>put your name, address and any other info you'll need to list to ensure a successful delivery
That's it. Now that that's taken care of, let the games begin!

Name:
Address (write this in the format that you would put on an envelope):
What kind of songs would you like on your CD?:
Anything else I should know?:


Now this is usually a question I get every year so i'm addressing it now.
>Can I send you something in return?
Yes, you may. I will give out my address to anyone who wants to send me something, though please don't be obligated to do this. I do this every year out my own heart.
>What's the email to send my form to?
[email protected]

That's all. Thanks for reading and have another great holiday season!

>>148056648
Then just give them a link to your MFC. Then they can look up figures to double check they're not about to buy something you already own.

>>148056688

>>148057052
That cutter is very sharp! Be careful!

>>148057011
Yes, I made those and sent them to my assignments last year.

>>148057052
Truth be told, I enjoyed the cards I received more than the gift.

>>148056925
I was planning the same but just leaving them on the hoops. Never actually done any needlework before though.

>>148056892
If you can get them on pre-order or right on release, they're honestly cheaper than the average low end figure. (Around $40 before S&H)
Otherwise, you end up like Ran who cost me $180
Kasen releases in October, IIRC, and might have a few more re-releases to go with her.

>>148056950
I still haven't figured out what bracket I'm going to be in. I'm really tempted to pick up that Maribel and Renko fig that's on preorder but if I do, that will put me in poverty bracket for another year.
Regardless, I always make them for my cards.

>>148057073
I can't even remember where I got it, but I've had it since elementary school.

>>148056060
You can't regret handmade gift. They're always full of love and kindness.

looking at my wishlist all that comes to my mind is that i've only been watching old anime all year and haven't been picking up many new manga to read

this is troubling.

>>148057157
Cross stitching is easy to learn but can be very time consuming. I think it took me about 1 hour to make the pattern and another 5 hours to make one. And they're pretty small, only measuring 1.5 in by 1 in.

>>148057219
The only thing I watched this year was Kamen Rider. I just listed a bunch of stuff I liked last year.

>>148057219
Just make a long list of shit you used to like. That's what I'm doing. I don't think I loved anything particular this year, either. Yet, anyways.

>>148057503
Eiren when? Kanako when? Kiene when?
I was actually a little disappointed when Kasen got announced. I mean, it's better than a re-release, but if its a manga-based character, I'd rather see Kosuzu and if it was a ULiL one, I'd rather see Shinmyoumaru or Sumireko.

>>148057509
I got some homemade chocolate last year, and before that I've gotten cookies and other baked goods, which are always nice, even if they have extra protein.

>>148057780
Good taste, I myself would rather see a Keine or a Kosuzu fumo among the fumo-less 2hus. But in the end, I'm just happy to have new fumos instead of re-releases and kourindou ones.

Handmade gifts make the whole package special.

Hey, Santa-chan. I have a question.

last year, I participated in 3 50~75$ tier. Nevermind the fact that I didn't get gifted for the one and I got undervalued on other Would I be eligible for 100$ tier?

>>148054184
For sending a gift, is it OK making it yourself? Like cooking stuff?

Buying a gift on the internet and then paying double or triple its value on shipping just to send it to someone else seems pointless.

Also, how does the submission work if I want to send a card WITH my gift? Do I fill in the 2nd part of the form?

Lastly, should I bother doing a card if I can't draw very well? I don't want to disappoint the other person. I saw some of the previous cards and they were done very well.

Sorry for being a newfag.

>>148058410
>seems pointless
Not if it makes them happy.

>Do I fill in the 2nd part of the form?
No, that's for separate cards.

>I saw some of the previous cards and they were done very well.
It's the thought and effort that counts.

>>148058304
You are eligible as long as you participated!
>>148058410
Yes you can make a gift yourself if you want to! And if you want to send a card with your gift, you just send a card with the gift! If you want to send a card to someone else WITHOUT a gift then fill out the second part. You don't have to be an artist to make a card anon, show what you can do!

Do you think it's okay to have presents arrive at one place before a certain date and have them arrive at another place after that date? Should I instead specify one address to make it easier?

Also, what price bracket should these go in? They're pretty cheap on Yahoo Auctions (<¥2500 usually), but the shipping is absolute Satan.

>>148058539
For handmade gifts, what tier do they belong too? Or does it fall under how much you spent on supplies?

>>148058410
I wouldn't eat any food I got in the mail from a stranger unless it was factory sealed.

>>148058609
The worst they'll have is cum on it, and that's almost always added before the baking. Stop being a pansy.

>>148058794
Yeah I could next day a ton of shit straight from Japan, I guess that means I should go in the $100+ bracket even if my items total ~$30.

>>148058796
I voted no because chances are it will be a mess by the time it gets to me. Like you can be a 3 star Michelin chef or whatever but I don't trust the postal service to manage that.

>>148056058
>just say you want some from me and it might work!
Was I supposed to include that in my email to you? I thought you would assume everyone wants cookies (even if you can't make enough for everyone)

That happens to most people. That's why everyone says that shipping should not be included.

I made these handmade gifts last year (not the Serial Lain card tho) and I was in the 50-75$ bracket. I think that you'll know when you'll have enough time/work/money/love in your gift. Mine was over 75 just in material and time but it was worth it. Anon was really happy about it. I end up with no gift Got grinch ;_; but my christm/a/s was fun anyway.

You make a thing, then think to yourself, "I would probably pay X amount for this" or ask someone what they think it's worth.

Or you know, stop trying to be a cheap fucker and just do cards if you have no money.

I can't think of a gift to aak my santa! What should I ask for? I don't want to come off too demanding and I don't want to trouble my santa with vague requests. Doushio~

>>148060319
You could just list some series and characters you like and leave it up to them. You're sure to be surprised that way.

>>148060319
List your waifu if you have one, list some of your favorite series, and list some things you like (do you like chocolates or coffee, etc).

Ultimately, it's not too bad if you're a little vague, as long as you also don't get made at the end if you get stuff that's not a perfect match for you.

Just specify no mexico if you want.

If I can get my gift together relatively fast, when would be a good time to ship it to Anon? Mid to late November?

I signed with PO Box just fine.

What's the point of putting whitelist at $100+ tier if $100+ tier had zero instances of grinching? You're doing it all wrong you fucks

>>148061440
There had to be at least one case, as I sent a gift to a guy who got grinched last year who was in a 100+ tier.

>>148061440
That's exactly why there aren't grinches on $100+
Simply because they are all whitelisted.

>>148061440
If you're so sure that there wasn't any cases of grinching then you should be on the whitelist already, so why does it matter?

>>148061440
Furthermore, what's the point of letting people do something like 3 50-75$ gifts on their first year, but just not 100$+ gifts?
I appreciate the effort, but I don't think this system is going to deter any actual grinches.

>>148061574
He's talking about previous years. This is the first year with a whitelist.

>>148061582
because i'm not in $100+ tier and even if i'm in $0/card tier would like to use the fact that i've done this before to get paired with other whitelisters for to get rid of risks while first timers are the ones taking chances

>>148061671
Why don't you just buy the stuff you want with your own money? You're obviously missing the point of this.

>>148061708
because i'm in $0/card tier and don't care about expensive gifts and just want to trade cards and homemade gifts with trust worthy oldfags while keeping newfags out?

>>148061755
Try trading with people you know or reddit then. This isn't some super elite exclusive members only club deal.

>>148061852
I can't believe you honestly think this will do better as some fuck huge event, the only reason it works is because of it's limited scope, how do you even say super elite exclusive member and not think of 4chan and /a/?

>>148061440
Honestly it just pushes the grinches down into the $75-$100 tier.
Also it doesn't really stop repeat grinchers, unless santaloli was notified that they had grinched last time. Otherwise they look like a normal person who signed up before like the rest of us.

Also this >>148061612. One $150 grinch affects one person, two $75 grinches affects two people for the same value of presents.

The whitelist was a mistake. I think the grinch protection program (if handled effectively), is the best and only real solution.

>>148061922
You should see some of the posters that come to these threads. Non-/a/ images, emoticons, obvious new behavior. It's sad but there's not really much you can do.

>>148061922
I hate to break it to you buddy, but 4chan isn't some quiet little corner of the internet. There's nothing exclusive about this site.

They did a great job with this last year, and they're doing great this year. If you want to give them suggestions, calling them fucks is not the way to do it.

I hope it's obvious that I don't respond to rude comments. Please refrain from discriminating against those who wish to participate for the first time. The whitelist solely exists in order to maintain a standard for monetary value of the gift itself. I've already discussed this in previous threads, please read my posts. If you don't want to communicate with me and want to seethe hatred, I kindly ask that you don't participate. Kindness and cheer is what this event is about, and if you can't get off your ass for a mere second to think of another's good fortune and happiness, DO NOT JOIN. If you have LARGE doubts about certain money tiers, or about the event itself, DO NOT JOIN. If you have trouble with benefit of the doubt and receiving a gift properly from another anonymous person, DO NOT JOIN. If you have any reason in particular to insult us or doubts from your own delusions/ideas, DO NOT JOIN. We are always open to opinions, but please consult us directly through e-mail, or by replying to our posts with suggestions. Passive-aggressiveness is not a reply nor is it a solution. If you do decide to participate, know that you are treated by me with the greatest amount of respect by placing your trust into us. While I may be slower at replies to e-mails at this current moment, they do get accomplished and will be done even quicker as the deadline approaches. This is not a post to re-affirm doubts or to be used as a defense mechanism to say "trust us!" It is merely to highlight whether or not this event is right for you.

Also, I ask with the utmost respect to not reply to certain posts. Thank you.

>>148061984
We say every year to please notify us if you did not receive a gift, we have a maintained, consistent blacklist. We've had errors with the grinch program due to communication issues, but this year it should be resolved as I've already stated.

>One $150 grinch affects one person, two $75 grinches affects two people for the same value of presents.
in that an unintended side-effect of the whitelist may be actively spreading unhappiness to more people than before.

This isn't about money, or discriminating against newcomers bar none; but, as you said, about the kindness and cheer of giving.
Regardless of price tier, putting effort and love into the good fortune and happiness of someone else, but thinking that nobody could be arsed to do the same for you really diminishes the sense of community and love for your fellow anons that this event helps cultivate in the first place, and is the real problem with grinches.

I think a robust system of blacklists and backup gifters is going to be the most effective. Even if it concentrates the problem into a few anons that have to "take one for the team" so to speak, it would, at least theoretically compared to adding the whitelist, reduce the total percent of unhappy participants, which I think could be posited to be the overall goal of any system in place to handle this problem.

>>148054165
Out of curiosity what price range has the most people?

Kinda wanna go small and cute as this is my first secret f/a/ggot time so I'll probably go 10-25 or 25-50.

>>148063472
25-50 is a good start if you dont have some nice handcrafting skills and you can get some goodie for you ss and get something nice yourself.

25-50 is about a nendo/figma+bit and pieces or a simple figure

>>148063472
The price ranges were different last year, but the low-mid tiers were the most popular.
I'd guess 25-50 and 50-75 will be most the popular this time.

Enough, you only need 3 to make it anonymous.

>>148064262
I've done it in the past (shipped to both Hungary and Australia before) but Canada Post is just too costly for me to keep doing it. I've decided I'm better off giving more actual gifts to North American anons than spending half that money to the post office.

I'll send cards anywhere though.

First time participating and I have two questions:

How do you match santas? Do you try to match similar interests or do you just look for the prince range?

Also, how "weeb" are most anons usually packaging their gifts? I'm living in a dorm so my package is probably going to get delivered to someone else first.

Oh boy, is it the time of the year already? Definitely going to partake in the higher end ones.

I'm not sure what to ask for since i'm not a fan of figures and i would rather not ask for hand-made sweets after i read the copypasta from the /k/ meet-up.

Maybe i'll ask for lingerie again this year.

Although $150 dollars on lingerie seems rather excessive.

Wasn't able to participate for the last couple years, but looking forward to this one. I've only done this once before, and I still have the card from my santa in my waifu shrine.

>>148071947
I kept my cards from last year displayed well into summer. I still have them, of course. Just needed the space.

What I find really odd is that no one asked about them. A lot of people saw them.

I'm going to sign up for the $10-$25 bracket and spend $150 on my anon and there's nothing you can do to stop me!

>>148072621
>tfw got into $25-$50 bracket and won't get this guy

Nah, just kidding. That's still awfully nice of you

>>148072677
Christmas is my favorite time of year, especially on /a/. These past few years I've really been hit by Christmas cheer, giving is the best part desu.

>>148058796
Well, I just started working out, and /fit/ said I need to get more protein, so I guess it's fine.

I signed up right away in 100+, now that the cap moved up do I have to send an update email?

>>148068489
Lol damn so you ended up with 3 honks? Gift or not I'd try to sell 2 of them, because who needs 3 of the same figure?

>>148073945
Nah, the deadline is just to remind people.

What happens if you opt to only ship nationally but there's no anons in your same price bracket?

>>148071489
I really wanted to go into that bracket this year but finances aren't allowing me. Maybe next year.

How many of you guys also ticked the I will help those grinch options

>>148063837
I can't think of anything I would want besides nendos and a few prize figures. I don't think I would even mind what nendo it is, as long as it's not a duplicate or a bootleg. And I included a link to my mfc page, so that shouldn't happen.

>>148074414
I think they would either move you to continental, or send you an email asking.

>>148054826
>>148054952
It's people like you that keep me from emailing Santaloli already. I have an MFC with all the stuff I own and have some stuff I want on wish. But part of me agrees with first anon it would be more fun to let Santa do the work while I vaguely reference what I want. However I feel the second anon is correct that having specific wished is ok. I want and would love the stuff I have listed but I feel it will eliminate any chances of getting something more creative I'm not thinking of from Santa. I feel like I should keep only a few oddball or Never Evers in my wishlist then send my Shitty MAL also and let Santa stack on from there.

My gift got here really late so I only ever managed to post it in a really late thread, but I just wanted to thank my s/a/nta now. I really enjoyed reading them on the train to and from uni when I was too tired to do my anki reps.
There was a message saying a second half would arrive later, but it never did. I hope you just never got around to it, rather than it getting lost at sea somehow.
I would recommend you use a different shipping method this year, I don't think my package was delivered by any of the big companies or my national mail, because I got a small handwritten note by the deliverer saying that he left it at a local bar. The bartender was as surprised as I was, but at least it turned out okay.

>>148074908
Just link your MFC and say anything from the list is fine but other surprises are also welcome.

>>148074908
MFC is fine if you don't want duplicates. If there's one thing you really really want and would be miserable if they misinterpreted your hint, I'd say either just put it on or buy it yourself and make a more vague wishlist.

>>148074908
A list might be good if you do have a lot of stuff so the anon doesn't end up getting you a duplicate. I know I'd feel like crap if I ended up getting something they already have instead of something new. Of course putting your MFC doesn't automatically mean they'll get what's on there. They can still surprise you with something handmade or something.

How many years have you guys done /ss/?
Fourth year reporting.

>>148075573
Also fourth year

>>148075573
This is my second year, first year I did a 100-150 and two cards, doing a 100-150, 10-25 (to spoil) and 2 more cards this year.

Since the start.

Is putting a total of 25 shows/manga with a few specific item suggestions too daunting?
I wanted to give my anon a wide a variety as possible to chose from so our tastes would most likely match up somewhere.

>>148075082
>misinterpreted your hint
>no nendos

>>148075753
I did the same. I'm a bit disappointed whenever I get someone that just wrote one or two names of shows.

25 seems like a good amount to give someone an idea of your tastes. Better to have too many shows then give barely anything for the anon to go on.

>Wrote a rather lengthy wish list

W-would Santaloli mind?

Third time for me.

>>148075573
Second time reporting in. After going to printing services to print postcards I can't be fazed by anything!

>>148075573
The fourth if I count the first year that was just card exchanging.

>>148075573
This is second, and last year I only did cards because I forgot to send the application in time

Thanks for the card and key chain last year, man
Woulda sent you a thank-you card if you had placed a return address.
The small metal joint connecting the keychain to the ring becomes undone very easily, because of how thin and malleable the metal is.
I tried tightening, as much as I could, but still, it only took time for it to become undone.
There were a lot of instances where it just fell out of my pocket whenever I took my keys out, so I just hang it by my desk now, at the risk of losing it at some point.

Hope you had a good year.

I had dinner with my s/a/nta and my mother when he delivered my gifts a few years ago, there shouldn't be any problem.

>>148078106
If there are any Tex/a/ns participating this year, we should get together and have Christmas dinner.

>>148077565
Figure out what your college's policy is on mail is. I remember that my old college didn't care if the dorm number was on the package, but would refuse to accept anything that didn't have a correct name on it.

You can change your wishlist as much as you want, I don't mind okay?

>>148078106
Anybody got assigned to some interesting addresses? Had one to the military base in Norfolk, and another to a motel in Ostpreubenweg.

tfw last year my secret Santa assignment didn't post anything about the Caesar/Joseph Daki case I sent them.

I hope they got it and just don't like posting...

>>148080963
My anon never posted his gifts, either. The box was delivered with tracking, so I hope he enjoyed them. I received my gift around ~2 months late, but that's okay.

>>148080017
Be careful what you wish for.

>>148078106
I don't see why you're encouraging this since the last time an /ss/ party happened, /a/ shitposted about it for two years.

>>148080963
I had a giftee last year who didn't even receive the gift. It just stayed at the post office for a month and then came back to me.

>>148082496
This happened to me for the last two years. I really don't get what's up with that.

>>148082425
An anon personally delivering a gift is kinda cute. >/a/toronto
was vomit-inducing.

>>148082496
I wonder if it was a PO Box and the anon forgot about it. I've seen it happen before, you open a PO Box for one thing and have no habit of checking on it, so when the month's lease is up, the post office has to do something about the contents.

I hope the anon wasn't too spooked to go pick it up.
For the off-chance that I couldn't deliver, I'd always order gifts with really good resale value, so that I can get rid of it if it comes back or the anon can go sell it for more cash if they wanted.

>>148078798

Looks like it was a university dorm. It could be that their internal system made a mistake. Either way, I never heard about it from the Santas or I would have attempted redelivery.

So how does the matching work? I want to make sure I am not paired with some faggot that I actually know IRL.

>>148083186
If you're paired with someone you know, you can just ask Santaloli to change.

There's that story about a guy getting an IRL girlfriend since he delivered the gift in person.

>>148082604
I was forced to close out my PO box last year after /ss/ had already started. It was either pick between that or food. I hate being a poorfag. My gift was sent back, but thankfully my /ss/ contacted santloli to get up with me. I had to give him my cousin's address (with his permission of course) becasue I don;t want people knowing where I live.

>>148083225
But either way that person will know about my participation in the scheme. Also, why have you spoiled ``Happened last year''?

>>148083394
I don't really like the idea, I feel it should be as secret and anonymous as possible. That being said, I think some anon from Germany left an email address or something in his card last year, I might send him a Christmas email this year.

That would be me, I was your santa that year from the description of the gifts. I remember seeing your initials letting me know of your condition that year. I was a bit sad to hear that my giftee had serious health issues but if I managed to make your Christmas better that time, then I'm happy, regardless that you posted it in time or not.

>He also did some woodwork, really wide yunocchi woodwork that to this day I have no idea what it's supposed to do

I knew it would be a bit of an awkward present once I finished it. It's supposed to be used as a shelf for your figures. I remember even putting the screws you'd need to fix it to a wall.

My secret Santa was super nice last year but I'm full autism when it comes to internet relationships.

I mean despite our really high crime rate most of it is gang on gang so it's not that much of an issue for normal people.

>>148078106
I walked by my assignment's places to scout out a possible personal delivery.

They seemed like decent folk, but i figured it would be awkward to just show up like that.
