I know that the rules say that you cannot use things you received for free as part of your gift - you have to actually spend at least $50. However, can we include "freebies" as extras (i.e. in addition to whatever gifts we've bought). My giftee specifically mentioned something that I got for free (and that I cannot actually buy), so I'd like to throw it in as extra (it isn't trying to get rid of junk as it really was mentioned).

Santas, I need to ask for your help.... as requested, you need to tell me specifically what you ship to your person... not just a shipping confirmation number.
Many people have multiple assignments and I want to ensure you get proper credit in my files when your person receives their gift.
DETAILS... DETAILS... DETAILS!

Gah! I haven't been on here in a while - missed the early cutoff. 
Hope Santa saved some participants for later!!
Oh well, likely for the best as my Santas would have been banned from early shipping due to travel/shipping location restrictions.

Got the right number of Santees, but not the right info! These folks took the "secret" in Secret Santa too seriously, giving me barely anything to work with. How soon is the Head Elf on duty, 'cause I'm gonna need more info on these two shy Santees.
Folks, please reveal more than your preferred airline and hotels! It's really hard to gift wrap a Marriott.

I received another gift from my Santa and it means the most.
What Chef Andreas' and World Central Kitchen did for my state, NC, after Hurricane Florence was beautiful, generous and amazing! I can't wait to try out some recipes. Thank you Santa! I would love to know who you are...

@Redhead Thank you for "outing" yourself! May I ask? What part of the state are you in?
Great signature, I just got back from voting- blue, red and yellow (I vote for candidates not along party lines). Great turn out in my little town, I hope it's that way across the state and country!

I was going to post wondering if it's a Secret Santa gift or some sort of product test or order I placed. I guess I know it's a Secret Santa gift now. Of course, it is scheduled to arrive the day I leave on a trip for work, and Mr. Kipper will be home before I will be. Well played, Santa, well played. Now Mr. Kipper can grab the package and hide it!

I haven't started shopping either, but mine did give me some hints. You can always ask wharvey and others to do some snooping for you.
