It's getting cold outside, which means Christmas is coming, so time for another MKWEA Secret Santa!
Here's how it works:
-$25 limit,
-If you want to be involved, sign up as a reply to this thread. Once you sign up, you are committed and cannot be removed. Deadline for entry is December 14th.
-Everyone involved will post in their sign up post a minimum of five games that they would like. They will also post a (not super rare) TF2 hat they'd like.
-Also in your sign-up post, indicate whether you would be OK with having your Christmas gift sent to you. What this would mean is that if your Secret Santa would prefer to send you a gift, you would give your address to me, and I would give that address to your Secret Santa
- On December 15th you will be given the person you'll be Secret Santa for.
- There are no rules on what you get them, just so long as it's close to $25 dollars. You can get them Steam games from on or off thier, you can get them a pile of TF2 hats, you can get them a cardboard cutout of the Heavy and send it to them. You could even handcraft a present if you wanna participate but you don't have an extra $25. No rules! Just be aware if you get them a steam game that's not in their list, you risk them having bought it already during a steam sale.
- Gifts should be sent by the end of the Steam Post-Christmas Sale. This means you can use the sale to maximize what you can get for them with the $25.
*EDIT* Also feel free add to your sign up anyone you know well enough that your Secret Santa can ask them for advice on gifts.
Let me know if you have any questions!

We need MOAR! Only one more day to sign up!
Is the price too restrictive? I can lower it if need be.

So we only got three, do you guys still wanna do this with only three? The santas will be less secret.
I'll leave it up to you two. I know a couple people were meaning to sign up, but never did, so I'm not sure if they forgot or changed their minds.

Could we extend the sign up period? If so, we could also actively recruit.

Okay I guess I'll sign up. I was sort of reluctant because there's no way I'm going to be able to do anything as awesome as for my other secret santa, but it looks like most people here just want Steam stuff.
I've got a Steam wishlist with some reasonable things on it, and it's roughly in order of preference. Or get me something awesome that I've never heard of!
I'm pretty satisfied with most of my hats. Maybe the tie for the soldier or the spy turtleneck. I wouldn't mind a change of pace on my soldier if you can get something more awesome than my current hat.
Edit: Oh man or that sweet new sniper sweater or the pyro hood or the soldier beard.
Edit the second: Oh also the bow tie. Bow ties are cool.

BTW, to whomever is my secret santa: the items in my wishlist are arranged in roughly order of most to least expensive (adjusted slightly due to want and likeliness of sale) so that I win things I'm less likely to impulse-buy in the case of sweepstakes winnery. So don't feel pressured to get things that are ranked towards the top. Also, I like surprises.  |

I've been getting a bunch of random gifts from people on another forum, so sorry to my Santa if I've been gifted something you've already got for me!
