Question for those who have participated in secret santa in the past!
-
What is the "norm" or does everyone kind of pick their own way of doing things.
I'm not super worried about being secret. I plan on keeping quiet until I have to send the horses part of my gifts but I was curious
do you send things throughout December, do you wait for Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, etc -
I am wondering the same thing Moon since this is my first SS.
-
Eccentric said this to me via PM :
You can save them & send them once names have been revealed (between the 23rd-25th). Or if you'd like to send them earlier, anonymously, you could arrange for the elf (or I could help you out), to buy them from you for 1hb, and then she could send them to your SS. -
I also like to send little teaser gifts throughout the month. I usually start around the middle of the month. I think most all of my SS in the past have sent me a gift or two earlier. It was so exciting to log in, and have a gift pop up that I had received in the night. I don't reveal myself until Christmas Eve or Christmas morning, depending if I am going 'out of town' or not, for Christmas Day. That is when I send the bulk of my gifts. I send my early gifts through the 'elf.'Thanked by 1ConfluenceFarms

I wasn't able to sign up due to craziness earlier, but I'm wondering, how do you give horses? Do you have to have an elf tell them to pick it up, or can you just do monetary or barn gifts early on?
-
The elf (that's me) can help transfer horses anonymously early if you'd like.
Game money used to be able to be sent anonymously, but now we have the transaction record the giver will show up there. I expect that is another thing that I can help you with--you send me the money (be sure to PM me so I know that the transfer has been made, where its coming from, and who its going to). (That's because I seldom check my bank balance, my show ponies do wo well for me.)
For barns and other things you buy with game money, you replace your ID# with your giftees ID in the box before you put the item into your cart. I'm pretty sure they will pop up in the barn list or where it tells you how many GMTs or boost tokens you have, without any sign of where they came from.De gustibus non disputandum.

Good thinking Sandy! It didn't even cross my mind that the money transfers would be recorded.#110

I nearly forgot that, but fortunately remembered that the source of funds in the bank is reported.De gustibus non disputandum. "There's no arguing about tastes."

I was thinking straw sending would be anonymous but I forgot about the transaction record!
-
At least I realized before I started sending lol. Thanks for the answers guys!
-
I usually wait. I know some years when I've posted wanted ads some people have responded by sending straws and saying to x the ones I don't want for ss gifts so I was always hoping that I wasn't x'ing SS gifts for me rather than potential gifts for my SSThanked by 1MoonAcre Stables
