Please remember to PM wharvey both when you ship your gifts (with contents and tracking for each recipient) and when you receive your gifts (with contents and a name for your santa if possible)!

Posting photos:
Alternatively: Upload your image to somewhere on the internet (a list can be found in the wiki here, and I also can recommend imgur). Once the image is uploaded, right click on the image (control-click or click with two fingers for those of you with macs), click on "copy image URL". Then in your post in this thread, paste the image URL that you previously copied between two image tags, so the result looks like:
[img]your URL here[/img]

There is no "gifts sent" part this time around-PM your sent gifts to wharvey! (though feel free to post it in the thread)

Gifts Received
Please please please PM wharvey when you have received/opened your gifts!
Include pictures if you can-and please only link to posts once you have unwrapped your gifts!

Count me in as another one who'd wouldn't mind getting airline onboard goodies (as long as it isn't the only thing I receive). My college budget doesn't let me fly in business/first class, so getting airline swag would be a nice change of pace.

Head Santa update:

Post #2 has been updated with all who have provided me information in the proper format. If you are NOT on that list, then you did not comply and/or did not respond to my requests for corrected information.

Icons will be provided shortly to the remaining people who were missing them.

If I get a chance, I may try to do some initial assignments this weekend.

That means... if you've done all your research, and you still don't know what to get, send me a PM.

HeadElf53.
Just a reminder for all the new 'kids'.

FYI, I'll be away (sourcing last minute gifts).
If it takes an extra couple of days for me to get back to you, I know you'll understand. In case of emergency, Santa knows how to reach me.

Dear Santa,

If stumped for a present for me, OD Green is one of my favorite colors.

Really late, but I'm in again! I'll send you a PM shortly, wharvey, and thanks a million for the reminder.

This year I will be actually home for Xmas, so it means I will have a better chance of being nicer for both my Santas and Santees Can't wait to get the assignments!

Excited to be back in the Santa Exchange. I had to bow out last year since hubby had lost his job. Now that we are once more financially stable (YEAH), let the shopping begin.

Hoping for assignments to start rolling in. It seems like only yesterday we were finalizing last year's Secret Santa!

Thanks for the assignments, wharvey! If we got less assignments than the number we signed up for, is it safe to expect to get more as we get closer to the deadline or will this be all we're getting?

I just finished mailing out 224 assignments. Please check your messages and let me know of any problems or concerns.

Levenhopper.... you should have received five private messages. Please let me know via PM if you did not get them all. It takes time to get them all out!

They're here! It seems like I was a kid on Christmas Eve and had lost all of my patience! My apologizes.

Maybe don't use airline swag as part of the $50 minimum, but beyond it, it can be done with grace and humor.

Agree with CDTraveler, MrDPlus, and danam on this. I have both received (gratefully) and sent amenity kits. As long as they are new and unopened, I think they are a nice little touch as this is a forum which focuses (largely) on flying.
