Tumblr Secret Santa!
Some F. A. Q.

Hey guys!

So some of you have asked some very important questions, and rather than address each separately (though we love you, we really do), here’s a quick run down of the whats, ifs, whys and hows.

Is this safe?
Like with any online interaction, there are some dangers to be aware of. However, the information you provide to this service is only viewed by the three admins and the Secret Santa to whom you are assigned; once you have been assigned, that information is deleted and no longer accessible through our ask box.

Also bear in mind that other Santa-eager users have applied, all of which are just as wary as you. (:

What’s the spending limit?
After some debate, we have decided a spending limit of $20/the equivalent of. This allows for a little room of cushion for those who may not necessarily have the funds to purchase a “big” gift, but also allows you the option of spending less.

Also: Thrift stores are great shopping centers! (;

I live in [insert country]! Can I still sign up?
Of course! Many of our participants are from all over the world, and we will be doing our best to pair up users with other bloggers from the same country. This can help avoid hefty shipping costs and any complications when sending items across borders.

How will I know what to get my giftee?
Some users have included their gender with their information. In a way, that kind of gives you an idea of what to look for, and also avoids the limiting of what to buy. However, users are free to include details of what they enjoy, but should keep in mind they shouldn’t expect certain gifts.

Oh no! I forgot to include [this interesting piece of information]!
(: Alright! Just let us know and we’ll delete your previous post. Just make certain to include the ENTIRETY of your previous submission: your name, your home address, your tumblr blog address, and anything else you’d like for your Secret Santa to know.

What if my Secret Santa doesn’t get me a gift?
Unfortunately, we have no way to guarantee they will. We can only hope that our participants understand that by signing up, they are asked that they also get a gift for a user as they will likely receive a gift in return.

I’ve changed my mind. I don’t want to do this!
We’re sorry to hear that and we will miss you. (: Perhaps another time.

For any questions that were not address here - or if you’d simply like some further reassurance - feel free to drop them in our ask box.

Otherwise, hold tight! We’re almost in November. Until then, invite your friends, invite your friends’ friends, and so on and so forth.

(: Keep smiling~
