For the past few years the Board Game Geek (BGG) have run a Secret Santa for users of the site. Everyone who takes part is allocated another person to buy a present for and you use the wish list in their profile to help you choose. The idea is that it is international and games fly across the globe or you can check out game shops local to your recipient. I took part last year and it was great fun :-) it felt good to know my recipient loved the gift I bought and I love the game I received. It is also nice to check out the threads to see who has received what and how pleased they are with their gifts.
Sadly there are those that grumble about it being too expensive or only wanting to send to someone in their own country. I say Bah Humbug to them they are missing the point!!
Anyway in a little while I am going to have fun shopping on line for my recipient ;-)
Oh! and this year they are doing Holiday/Christmas card exchange as well, so I am joining in with that too. A little bit of extra fun :-)
