Okay, I know I said not even a week ago that Santa isn't real, but based on experience I'm going to suggest that waking up to a stamped self-addressed return envelope to the North Pole is the sort of thing you should actually take seriously here.

New arrivals, let me know if you want to do a Secret Santa. Sign ups close December 3rd, presents need to be with me December 19th. We're sitting at a little over 50 people participating at the moment.

	Maybe. Couldn't hurt. We used to get presents dropped off in pods pretty regularly and last year we had Christmas crackers full of cash. Definitely not. Some people are handmaking things and there's quite a few other under 18s who just have their allowance from the military. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Do you think we can really ask for anything? That's good. I would be making mine too ~~with alchemy~~. Thank you for offering that service to people, it's very kind of you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If it works there are probably going to be some limits. I'm willing to bet spaceships would be out, but I know people have gotten magical items from this sort of thing before. Though it says you get three wishes, so even if you put something that doesn't work the other two might. We did it last year and it was pretty fun. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~Spaceships?! Wow...~~ That's really interesting. I can only think of two things I'd like, so I'll have to think hard on it. What types of presents did people exchange? We didn't have Christmas back home. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I've only thought of one so far as well. Toys, games, posters, phone or tablet cases, fun t-shirts or hats. You can get some good general starting ideas by looking up lists of secret santa gift ideas, and then if you get someone who, say, talks about cooking a lot look out for things that work with that.
