NON-SECRET SANTA (OR: WHO WANTS COOKIES?)
 

i kind of want to do like a alternative secret santa where i mail out cookies to folks and they mail me stuff back (OR THEY DONT, THIS CAN BE A OPTION FOR POOR ASS MOFOS TOO) do you guys think this is a good idea or is it infringing on the proper and lawful secret santa proceedings that are already underway:xmas3:xmas3:xmas3:xmas3

PREDICTED COOKIE LINEUP SO FAR
peanut butter (HAVE MADE BEFORE; WILL PROBABLY HAVE SOME TOPPED WITH ROASTED PEANUTS OR WALNUTS FOR EXTRA NUTTINESS OR MAYBE EVEN CHOCOLATE CHIPS. MAYBE THE TOPPINGS WILL BE IN THE SHAPE OF AN EMOTICON)
"rocky road" (HAVE NOT MADE BEFORE, BUT HAVE A GOOD IDEA AS TO HOW THEY ARE MADE; CHOCOLATE COOKIE W WALNUTS AND MARSHMALLOW)
"cowboy" cookies (CHOCO CHIP AND OATMEAL, WITH OR WITHOUT WALNUTS OR MINT M&MS) (ARE A FAVOURITE)

I was gonna say yes, but then I remembered I'm a college student with $30 to his name until next semester.

WHAT KIND OF COOKIES ARE THEY

CAN YOU DO ROCKY ROAD COOKIES

:eek

usually i do oatmeal + choco chip cookies, with walnuts or sometimes mint m&ms

i get enough request for special kind of cookie, i make it hokay

"rules ideas"

BENEFITS FOR PRESENT SENDERS:

get option to pick what kind of cookie
get more cookie (NON PRESENTS WILL ONLY GET 3-6 COOKIES, PRESENTS WILL GET 12+)
probably get extra present in addition to cookie

REQUIRED FOR NON PRESENTS:
have to take picture of you enjoying cookie

Can I do this? I have extra presents from making my secret santa box.

i apologize but this is for forum regulars/vets only at this time, if i have extras / not enough participants however I will open it up to newer folks!

Is there like a deadline?

What grocery store do you frequent that I can send you a gift card for?

WILLIE

YOU SENT ME COOKIES LAST YEAR AND THEY WERE DELICIOUS.

EVERYONE

WILLIE SENDS DELICIOUS COOKIES.

how about december 3rd for opting in, so i can get to baking that weekend? i'm not picky as to when you send as long as it's before the 25th or you've got a good explanation

safeway's a good one, or TOP/Haggen if you've got those

THIS IS ALL TRUE

okay so let's make this official if you want in send me a PM with information:

#1 address
#2 whether or not you are able to send a gift back
#3 what kind of cookies you prefer (also if there's something cookie related that you are allergic to or just really dislike so i know not to include any in your cookies, like walnuts, dairy, maybe coconut?)
#4 if you are sending a gift back plz say if you would like a small gift or 6 extra cookies in addition to your 12 cookies

ALSO: if y'all want to "go together" on presents and can make some kind of arrangement as to how to do it, i wouldn't mind getting more achewood / dinosaur comix t-shirts in 3X or 2X if they're out of 3X (i have the dude has got no mercy, rabbit ambulance, and t-rex's busy day)

I live in a quarantine zone that wont allow home made stuff :(

I can send Australian tat to anyone that wants some though.

I'd definitely go for this but I'd feel like a jerk for being a non-reciprocate. Would you accept paypal?

son of a biscuit ;__;

what if i send you some of my mom's homemade knitwear/weaving stuff or soap

edit: not the stuff with tea tree oil though, since apparently that's a myrtaceae family plant sheesh

i don't have it set up for accept, you could combine with someone else who does? or is it difficult to do maybe i could set it up before then

edit: i guess it automatically lets you do that anyways, n/m?

Totally fine man... go for it. :xmas1

I'd request some cookies myself, but my sister just sent me two large tins of her own homemade cookies, so I have more than enough to last me a while. YUM. :0

Willie, I would love to get some cookies, I would also love to send you a gift.

i have got pms from:

*I STILL NEED A ADDRESS

I was considering joining the Secret Santa, but this sounds more appealing. I ate like four of Willie's cookies when I was hungover one morning las Christmas break. BOOM! Hangover gone (I also started drinking again shortly thereafter).

I'ma do this
