<p>[QUOTE="Kasia, post: 25858145, member: 31533"]The rules are that you send me a dm with your name and addy and I pair it with someone else who did that, with you in turn, getting a different person's name and addy as your 'recipient'. Then you find a coin or two that fits in with (usually) your recipient's interests and send that to them from 'Secret Santa' to arrive prior to Christmas. After Christmas or if you end up opening your own present early for some reason, which some do, you take pictures, put the pictures up here and thank your Santa for a wonderful gift. The basic price structure is around 25 dollars but everyone has their own ideas of what they can afford in a year so people do fluctuate on what they spend. </p><p><br /></p><p>The big rules or guidelines are that if you enter, you don't stiff your recipient and you don't downgrade what you get and you do post pictures and thank your Santa.
