Since everyone here has access to the signatures I'm thinking to make it easier for your Secret Santa if each person created a new list and link it to the signature. (See mine below as an example.) To create a list:
  1. Click on your username at the top right of your screen (on PC/desktop version).
  2. Scroll down to near the bottom. You'll see Your Forum Signature then below that Your Lists. Click on Create a new list.
  3. Title it "My Secret Santa Wish List". List type can be set to anything, mine is set to makeup but that's just the default since this is the first time we're using the lists for a different reason than how it was originally intended.
  4. Click on Submit.
  5. Add pictures and add content. If you want to add the Secret Santa girl image to be your default list pic here is the url for it: https://www.makeuptalk.com/image/id/1485810
Because the list items are tied to items in the Reviews database if what you want to add is NOT showing up PM me the item so I can add it to the database. Newer products will most likely not be in the database. [rule] If you don't want to create a list you can use the Buy/Sell/Trade forum and list your wanted items there and link to the signature as well. Which ever way works for you. :D /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> To create a classified specifically for Secret Santa (SS) or Secret Santa NAILS (SSN) go to the Buy/Sell/Trade section of MakeupTalk. Since we no longer limited members to have only two open classifieds if you want to create one list specifically for the SS and one for SSN select B/S/T Nails.  I would suggest to make it easier for your Secret Santa to find to preface the title SECRET SANTA. So let's start with creating a classified for those new to the classified section of MUT. Since this is specific for SS/SSN we'll use the WANTED drop down.


Here's mine as an example:


Of course it can be added to the signatures (see below).
 
Oof. Catching up again! This is the first thing I do when I wake up to get ready for work...read the SS thread, then shower, then get ready. I have my priorities in order.

  Ha, I feel like I"m going to want to befriend my SS. Like...once someone has bought a gift for you it just seems mandatory. I hope my giftee likes my gift enough to want to befriend me, too, lmao...I'm such a dork sometimes...
YES. I hope that's the case and it's all 'Did we just become best friends?!' I have stalked my person so much already that I FEEL like we're best friends.

You have to be using a computer or the desktop version of the site if you're using your phone in order to make a wish list and link it to your signature. I believe Zadidoll posted instructions on how to do it on one of the several Secret Santa threads. It's like the first post in one of them. I'll have to check to see the exact one.
You are the best!!!!! Thank you!

 
Because I don't want to do homework or grade papers anymore, I just wrapped all my SSantees gifts. ...they look awesome. I want to share the photo I took on here but I feel like that would ruin the surprise!!!!

 
 Confession time; who else (besides me) has gone back to read all their SS's old posts? I promise I'm not a Creepy McCreepster, just want it to be perfect!

  Whoever has me, I'm excited, easy to please, and won't fiddle with my lists any more, hope I didn't overshare.

 
I am so excited to wrap my goodies! I'm not the best wrapper, but I love doing it. My first box (and the majority of her gift) should be here tomorrow! I am going to hopefully pick up my final goodies on Black Friday (plus some things for me, of course...and christmas bonuses for a trade!!). So anxious to get it out!

I did! Luckily my girl is a sporadic poster so it didn't take me days to read. I feel sorry for whoever has me, if they try that...

 
I have finished all my shopping.  I went tonight to try and pick out packaing to wrap it in, but was not wowed by anything I saw. 
 
I too am not a great wrapper (anyone who has traded with me knows this lol) but I am either going to enlist my husband or my friend, to wrap for me.

I TOTALLY did. And she actually has...a LOT of posts. I spent almost all day Sunday reading her posts/stalking her. Hahahaha!

 
I read all of my person's too! She didn't have too many so it wasn't hard. I feel bad for my SS because I post a lot of random crap 0.0 Maybe if I read all of my own posts I'd learn a lot about myself too!

SS is turning us ALL into Creepy McCreepsters!

Oh my gosh! My husband and I are forever talking about having more room for activities and the f#%king Catalina wine mixer!
 
Ooh, I just signed up for a mystery swap on another forum with a really funky structure.  I'll put the rest of this post behind a spoiler tag!

Seven presents for eight days, starting January 14th.  There's a $35 limit.  Each day has a specific theme tied to a weird National Whatever Day sort of observation.

Quote: 14th-Dress Up Your Pet Day or 14th-Feast of the Ass Day or 14th-National Forest Day15th-National Hat Day16th-National Nothing Day (no presents on this day)17th-Ditch New Years Resolutions Day18th-Thesaurus Day or18th-Winnie the Pooh Day19th-National Popcorn Day20th-National Buttercrunch Day or20th-Penguin Awareness Day or20th-Martin Luther King Jr. Birthday21st-National Hugging Day or21st-Squirrel Appreciation Day
Then there's a long questionnaire to be filled out (burned CDs okay?  Favorite flavors?  Least favorite colors?  Popcorn preferences?  Hobbies?  And on and on).  Everyone sends all seven gifts out to their person in one box for arrival before the start of the whole shebang, and then everyone opens just that day's present on that day and posts about it.  

I'm already thinking about digging into the National Whatever Days next year (because it's far too late for me to do it for this year) and working on specific items to be opened on particular days.  It just sounds like a lot of fun to put something like this together!

They were stolen out of our backyard when we lived in military housing. My little Bemis and Thea. Oh god, now I'm crying.
Sorry to hear that, I cant believe they were stolen out of military housing some people are just sick.

Boats and hoes!!!
 
Cult Nails is having a 40% off Black Friday preview sale - TODAY only. I won't share the promo code since she's not advertising it to the general public but if you're subscribed to her emails then check your inboxes.

 
Start shuddering. ;) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I don't do Harry Potter, LoTR, twilight.... None of it. Oh, and I don't like Starbucks. At all. Well, okay maybe hot chocolate. I'm a freakin' weirdo, y'all!!
We still love ya! We might be a little scared :hide: , and we might include silly items in your SS packages :we: , but we will always love and accept you here :inlove: !
 
GUYS. I spent so much money tonight. Nordstrom Rack had UD eyeliners for FOUR DOLLARS. They only had them in two colors but I obviously bought plenty. And I got their lip stain for four dollars, none of it had been touched! I checked! Also- Maybelline things and some Revlon things were on super sale at Walgreens. I went to Target and raided the dollar section too. I'm getting my hair cut tomorrow, maybe I'll be brave enough to brave Lush after that? I'm excited to hear about Catching Fire!! I'm seeing it Monday!!
