Secret Santa

    Right, seems like a good few people would be up for doing this so might aswell give it its own topic

    So whoever is in post a reply and I'll put a list in the op

    And what kinda price should we put down that people cant go over? I would say none but I know someone would go ahead and get me the wily wars :D. But what would people be comfortable with? No more than €20 seems to be reasonable for most people.

    I'll leave this here for a bit about a week and when I have all the names they will all go into a hat and the PM's will go out letting you know who you got.

    Getting everyones present to them is another thing so I'd say if everyone send me their address and I can give it to their secret santa.

    Heres a list of chaps and chapettes who are in:

    Jack Burton
    Atavan-Halen
    Sera
    Retr0
    Sparks43
    The Great Chinholio
    Luas dublin

    Memememememememe!

    I'd say €10-20 would be reasonable enough. Also, might be an idea to do a wishlist of sme sort to avoid buying games the person might already have.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 52,396 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    Put me down as well.

    20 is probably ok, hard to find something for 10.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,019 ✭✭✭Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy


    Add me to the list, but if I get Retr0 I'm not giving him two presents :pac:
    Price wise I was gonna say €10 as well, I've loads to buy for.
    Also, might be an idea to do a wishlist of sme sort to avoid buying games the person might already have.
    you can do one on Google I think and it's been added to eBay as well, I've a wishlist on Backloggery.
    Are we only buying games or can it be game related things too?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,056 ✭✭✭Sparks43


    €10-15 would be a good range cost wise

    Its not the size or cost but all the thought that goes into the present



    So 10 quid would buy a new pair of knickers for Retro

    And 15 Quid would get a lovely pair of pink pokemoney trousers for sera:D



    Count me in

    Well I dont mind if they are gaming related or not. Personally I wouldnt mind what I get and I wouldnt be bothered making out a wishlist

    No no, I joke. I can't wait to see what you lot bought each other. I should have gotten involved myself, but I'm currently involved in way too many secret Santas as is.
