Sorry if you've seen this already, many people haven't
IF you want to send your gift out of country, and recieve a gift from out of country, please fill out the form in the "International Exchange 2015". I will TRY to get everyone matched so everyone gets international gifts, but I cannot guarantee this, it all depends on how many people enter.
If you want to ship to the SAME country you are in, please enter using the form in the "Domestic Exchange 2015" page.
Once December hits and you all start recieving gifts, please tag me in the comments of your posts showing off your gifts!
So let's get started!
What you're looking at here is a screenshot of the website for the imgur secret santa, the links are posted below, but please do me a favour and read through everything here first.
The website works on mobile, too!
EDIT: once you sign up you DO NOT get any email. The website says "thanks for entering" and a message. If you aren't certain you entered. EMAIL me: contact@giftagiraffe.com please do not message me on imgur as the site has a spam filter on amount of people I can message each day.
Why are we having a Secret Santa on Imgur?
Essentially the purpose of this secret is to connect the community here on imgur. I personally absolutely love Christmas each year because I get to make/ buy gifts for people, and make them happy.
Yes, some people will enter this and not send gifts, but I truly hope you all enter this knowing that it's all about giving a gift to someone else, and not about the recieving.
#####Back Up Gifters######
I'll be opening up a backup gifter program for the people who don't get gifts (it happens, sadly) so many of you have asked already. Love you guys.

I'd love to get a lovely scaly nope from there, but maybe you shouldn't mail live animals. The post doesn't treat them well. :(
TheTinyCactus
Missed this last year, but loved the posts. Signed up this year and really looking forward to it!
LannistersSendTheirRetards
Really disappointed I won't have money to participate. This sounds like a really neat idea
Drakhma

Kiwi31415

canadianstone
You evil soul!
MrsHiddle
I saved your username, if I'm your match, in sending all real maple flavoured things I can get my hands on. I live right next2 a sugar shack

I so badly want to be part of this, but I think I'm going to struggle to buy closest family members presents, let alone an internet stranger
SecretSantaImgur
I honestly find it easier to buy for a stranger sometimes :P
Xindora
It's more about the money than anything though! :(
WiserDucksLivesLonger
Seriously Im so excited. Already entered in international exchange. I've started picking out some of the gifts I'll be sending. Wiieee! :D
Tamaril

WiserDucksLivesLonger

Drakhma
SkeletonHitler
Same here. If you're matched up with me, whoever you are, please don't be a dink about it
WiserDucksLivesLonger
Be a dink? For christmas? Goodness no! :D Im only buying nice, (and funny) gifts!
Drakhma
wowchick
It depends on the weight of the package.
SkeletonHitler
What kind of package ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
wowchick
I was so waiting for someone to do this.

There was an issue with your email, please check your imgur messages :)
Trampledbytortoises
Is anyone else nervous about handing out their home addresses?
samvimesbootstheory
I am slightly nervous, but I really wanted to send someone a gift, so that's why I signed up.
OctopussSevenTwo
by all accounts it went over well last year without incident.
EscargatoireMunch
That's how the Y2K virus gets you.
Jurassica10
Or get a PO BOX or use your work address.
omadonnadellerose
I'm Italian, I don't give a shit.
Jurassica10
So don't do it.
StarlordWho
Signed up last year, went all out for my person. I got a note from my guy that said "fuck you"
zeratule143
That sucks man#
PalBokEe
I sent mine out too and got nothing back. Hope this year is different.
MadameRainbowPants
You need a re-try!
twinklehoes
I really hope this doesn't happen!!! AHHHH!
IceCreamMaam
I didn't even got a "fuck you" note... JEALOUS
shank
Was there a return address? That would've been a prime candidate for the CAH Bullshit thing.
heyjumparound
My Secret Santa gift came from Sarah months later when I mentioned I never got mine.
alrightalrightalrightalrightalrightalright
I never got one either! But the person I sent my present to was so stoked it was worth it.
quespadilla
Me too! Sarah is the best santa ever.
texOIFvet
I never got one either. Sorry man.
heyjumparound
I enjoyed more putting one together for my recipient anyway, but sucks that someone else didn't follow through (or it got lost in the mail?)
Stumbleine
I signed up last year (on time) but never actually got a response from OP regarding a partner. I have still not forgiven the disappointment.
Drakhma
that SUCKS, i mean i didnt get anything either, i do not remember if i told op or not, but i sent out a gift that i hope the person got.
FloridaWoman
I helped OP out last year and if I recall right he made a few post after everyone was matched to message him if you haven't received a santa
Drakhma
i signed up last year too, i sent out a package. i never got anything though lol
foxtale11
I got a concerned email from mines mother.
Drakhma
from the person you were sending to, or were receiving from?
foxtale11
You sent and received from the same person.
ginangu
I went all out also. We agree to a min of $35 and max of $50 and he got me $5 junk.
Salzab
I thought you dont gift to the person who gifts you?
Drakhma
yea you do not get gifts from the person you gift, you gift a completely different person then the one gifting you.
Iamnotwatchingporn
I didn't hear from mine, which is probably better than a fuck you. That's fucked up.
bentwrenches
Hi. I am your not so secret Santa, and I am on your profile looking for clues. Have no fear, Christmas is near.
Iamnotwatchingporn
Awe, yay! Glad to know I'm not forgotten this year :)
bentwrenches
So give me some hints. I was thinking kitchen stuff, with your affinity for baking...?
Iamnotwatchingporn
I would love anything :) That includes kitchen stuff! I don't have too much in my new apartment so you can't go wrong ;)
zefall
This is amazing! I really hope you can get enough people to go FP, my only question is what should the price range be?
MartynMage
It says $20 USD suggested on the site, but people spend less/ more

EscargatoireMunch
To the person that gets me, be prepared to be vaguely impressed or mildly disappointed depending on how grumpy Xmas may make me this year.
BigDaddyBloom
But I feel like anything international would be cool
WiserDucksLivesLonger
Im sure it'll all be fine:D Im mostly excited about hopefully seeing the reaction of someone who gets mine.
EscargatoireMunch
Same but that is all dependent on me getting someone that likes things my skills allow for and me not being grumpy so I go all in.
heysniz
Like not over or under, merely whelmed.
kaykex17
Created an account just to do this. I'm so excited to send fun things!!
SecretSantaImgur
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
secretsantakaykex17
YOUR GIFT SHOULD HAVE ARRIVED!!!! CREATED AN ACCOUNT JUST TO LET YOU KNOW
kaykex17

secretsantakaykex17
both of them?
kaykex17
There's more then one? Oh snap!
OElly
I'll join. I was in it last year but I never got anything :( hoping for this year then!
SecretSantaImgur
Thanks for being a good sport! :)
Iamnotwatchingporn
I feel like all of us that got stiffed should send the info to @secretsantaimgur so they aren't added to this years secret santa
SecretSantaImgur
I'm amazed by the amount of people claiming not to have gotten anything compared to the amount that informed me. Please do that *
Iamnotwatchingporn
Looks like my user hasn't been active in 6 months (first time I've looked her up since I sent my package out)
beejabah
Are people of any age allowed to enter or is it only for those over 18?
SecretSantaImgur
Uhhhhhhhh. I'm honestly not fond of like 12 year olds entering. But 15/16+ is fair, as long as they can afford to do this.
beejabah
I'm 15... Is that alright?
SecretSantaImgur
Not in trouble. Or at least ask them if it's okay to use your house as the address, you can always put someones work address down 2/2
Kiwi31415
We won't know the age of our recipient though, will we.
SecretSantaImgur
No It's not asked for, a fair amount of people put it in their "About me" section though
beejabah
Alright. Thanks!
