    SecretSanta for Aotearoa twitter users works thus:
    2000 twitter users have decided to send one selected other a present through the post via a central depot, ~€10 value or creative. It is a gift based on their twitter feed interests, posts and comments.
    It is promoted by NZPost who charge ~€5.

    Would that work here on boards? Or even in Ireland?
    What would you get or make?

    I don't have twitter account, but if I did I say I get some confusing present.

    Seems like a good/funny/nice idea.

    Would most likely only receive a card from a mod.

    Used to happen on AH years and years ago, probably wouldn't work now.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    I want a whip that I can crack the table with every time someone reaches for their phone.

    I'd probably get a Donald Trump hat.

    See, if we did this I would be the sucker who draws Aongus Von Bismark from the hat.
    What on earth could you get him for €5 that would meet his standards?
