Secret 1st present?

[tiffbot]

I would suggest using a site like Elfster. Its a Secret Santa generating site and will only give your address to the person it randomly selects for you (and maybe the group admin-I can't remember it's been a few years). You can also ask who you've been drawn anonymous questions if you want to find out interests or anything.

When I'm buying gifts for my American friends, I'll sometimes use an American Etsy seller or American sites and just have it shipped directly to them. I can't special wrap it that way, but it does help with how crazy shipping costs can be.

I would possibly be interested, if enough people were.

I know you can post things that you are wanting to buy on Elfster too, I can't remember how all it works but I think it connects to Amazon and maybe any website? I can't remember it all, I did admin it for my month board on TK one year though! Something worth checking out anyway, I know people were comfortable with the security settings on it.

I'd be in!

Sounds fun, I like picking out gifts!!

Yup Elfster is awesome! My old group also did a reveal thread after which was so fun. I think this would be a lot of fun! We could even do it so we buy a little something for baby and a little treat for mom for surviving year one.

My old BMB has used elfster for many exchanges. I set up our Christmas one and it's pretty easy. Only the person you exchange with can see your address. You can do wish lists and send messages anonymously.

Add me to the list, this sounds like a great idea!

[prettymama36]

What a great idea madymoiselle! I'm in too!

[sugarkissed]

So fun, I'd play! I've also used Elfster in the past and liked it!

Wait can everyone see your address? I also put my real name in, thinking I should of just put my screen name in....fuck. Also how do we know who the people are if their names aren't obvious from their screen names, we won't know if the baby is a boy or girl to buy a gift? Shit, can we restart it?

The only person that gets your address is your match, I believe. But still, I could get matched with someone I don't know well, you know?

I think you can edit your name. On my other board we did Firstname "screen name" Lastname, although we all know each other pretty wel at this point.

Only the person you swap with can see your address.
