Do you know the area you will be relocating to? If you do I'd recommend getting a box at a mailbox service like the Fed Ex store. If you will be living in temporary housing after the move it might be a smart thing to have anyway.
If you are relocating as part of your job you might be able to get your employer to pay for it as well.
Even those this defeats a "secret" santa you could also put in the info submission that you are moving and request that the sender PM you right before sending to insure they have the right address.
Another suggestion is to use Amazon wishlist and put in your submission that you are relocating and you'd appreciate it if they would use the amazon wish list only this year. If they use Amazon wish list you'll be insured of getting your items sent to the right address providing amazon has your current address.
When I am a secret santa to someone with an amazon gift list I love it. I know they are getting a gift they want and don't already have, I don't have to worry about shipping the gift and if there is a problem with it Amazon will let them return it with no hassles.

Also, thank you for the FedEx store box idea, this is something I will look into.

Thanks a lot for the tips! I know the area where I will be relocating to, just don't know when exactly it will happen and might only know after the secret santas have been distributed. I will just send the message to @wharvey and put a note about the potential change of address.
Also, thank you for the FedEx store box idea, this is something I will look into.

Dear Participants,
So far, six of you have requested me as a Secret Santa.
As I indicated in the first post, I no longer participate individually. I end out spending so much money of making up for delinquents Santas (along with some of you) that I cannot justify additional expense (especially being out of work!).
I do appreciate the thoughts of wanting to have me as your Santa. If you wish to request someone else instead of me, please send me a message. Otherwise you will receive a random Santa as in years past.

I don't let the Elves out of my sight this time of year. Must be an imposter.

Dear Boss. The Elves have been working hard to get Christmas gifts ready. If beer is being sent (better be craft beer and not Coors or Bud Light), it can be sent to the workshop up in the North Pole (NY).

And I've already claimed the beer. Back off, Head Elf, or I'll be on Santa's naughty list.
