END OF THE WORLD PRESENTHAPPYTIMES
Hi all.
This is the page onto which we're organising the CUTT Secret Santa 2012.
The idea is simple. Everyone puts their names in a hat. The hat is metaphorical and everlasting. Everyone gets a name. You get a christmas present for the named person.
Details.
For buying a present, look to spend around £10, or make something from around £5 worth of raw materials. If you want to go overboard, that's fine, but it's your choice.
Really really try and get the present to your person by Christmas. That's the point :)
To take part, you can either sign up here, or email me at jr512@cam.ac.uk
Ideally, I'd like your name, anything you particularly want to avoid getting as a present, and an address to send things to. If you don't want to leave address on the page, that's fine, but make sure I have some way of contacting you anyway. Any other details you think are pertinent (such as "I have a rabid intense fear of the colour green") would also be helpful.
Signups close at 11pm on Monday 26th November.
Salavant is responsible for organising this mess.

Re addresses on wikis, it is pretty easy to find out basically anyone's address if you are determined, so I'm not sure what harm it can do... --Pufferfish
- The only reason I don't put an address on glitterparty pages is because I don't want them utterly trivially crashable. Finding the address isn't hard, though --Tea
- Yep, that's pretty much my thinking exactly. --dp
