This is an unofficial wiki maintained by steveman518. Please fill in gifts you've received if you can. However if you can't, steveman518 will check every post-PM for questions as well

I'm hoping that my gift ideas go over well, too. I don't want anyone to be disappointed so hopefully after pondering this and placing orders today I'm on the right track!

hahaahhaha this is going to be fun this year! And quite bizarre without wharvey knowing, but one of my giftees lives 5 mins away from my office. And considering the size of Australia I find that hilariously funny!

If I am using Amazon for some of my gifts is it acceptable to have Amazon ship it directly to the recipient or are we suppose to have it shipped to us and then ship it forward?
I have never used Amazon for shipping as a secret santa before and not even sure if they could mail it without show the identity of the shipper and I want to make sure the recipient knows its from their FT secret santa

Yes, you can have Amazon ship direct to your giftee. No sense in multiple shipping costs.
I believe you can have it shipped as a "gift" and put a Secret Santa message in it... but sure others more knowledgeable will post to correct me!

Yes, I've done this before. You can include a gift note and simply sign it FT Santa

Last year some of my Secret Santa gifts came directly from Amazon. On the packing list was some of code that I scanned with my phone to send a thank-you note direct to the giver. First time I'd seen that, but I thought it nice to be able to directly thank the sender.
