Currently I get between 200 and 350 pieces of spam every day, so checking there is quite a job. I suspect others are in a similar situation.

Maybe a PM could be sent also? Just something like "Watch your email for a gift from Santa?"

If Santa wants to remain anonymous, perhaps ask a friend on FT to help out and send the PM?

That is what I am here for..... but I worry that things will get missed while I am away on my anniversary trip..... I will not be checking in often.

Just do not want people getting worried when the gift may be there...

But hey, it would not be FT Secret Santa if there was not some drama.....

I would say the plan is for all gifts to arrive before Christmas, at least somewhat. Some people have already sent theirs. I am sure you could put your travel plans in your sign up message to wharvey and they would forward that to your Secret Santa to ensure delivery prior to your departure.

Give lots of hints, beyond what airline or hotel you use, in your sign up info

Describe your other hobbies and interests so that your SS may shop for you during their trips as well.

Thumbs up

Just got my first gift and it was awesome. Knew from the box it was from a place I love ordering from, and lo and behold it was from my FT SS!

Will post some pics when I use them

Also stalk your recipient(s) on FT and see if you can find any additional information through their posts or websites they link to (such as their own blogs)
