Welcome, Monkeys, to the Ridemonkey Secret Santa for 2024!

And here... we... go!

I am continuing the tradition where packages must be postmarked (not delivered) by Christmas Eve. As usual, monkeys in the US and Canada will be eligible to exchange packages. If we receive at least 3 entries from our cheese-eating Europeans, the EURMSS will proceed.

Interested but don't know what to expect? Check out past threads to see discussion and photos of the gifts!

Secret Santa: 2023 | 2022 | 2021 | 2020 | 2019 | 2018 | 2017 | 2016 | 2015 | 2014

Rules and Requirements:
  • You must be a Ridemonkey member in the US, Canada or the EU, registered on or before January 1st, 2023.
  • The guideline for spend is typically around $35. Some people do more, that's fine, but this isn't intended to be a cheap crap exchange.
  • Pairing is randomized, and you will not be buying for the person who is buying for you.
  • External packaging must be work safe. Internal packaging is up to you.
  • Tracking numbers must be sent to ridemonkeysecretsanta@gmail.com
  • Failure to send a gift will result in a permanent ban
Safety Requirements:
  • If you are feeling ill, or have come into contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19, do not pack or handle the presents. If this delays your package, contact me immediately. We will work something out.
  • People receiving gifts are encouraged to wash their hands or use hand sanitizer after opening their gifts.

How To Enter:
In my continued attempts to automate this exchange as much as possible (and reduce pairing errors), I have created a form to fill out. Please fill the form out completely; information will be stored safely and will not go to anyone except me. If you have questions about your Elf or Santa, you can still email the standard ridemonkeysecretsanta@gmail.com address.

FILL OUT THE FORM HERE: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1HSFB4ymL6qY8PLMfzcJ51zcFu8Q3Srl_aR6tuH3_7tk/

Dates:
  • November 29th: All entrants must have filled out the above form by midnight on November 29th
  • December 2nd: All entrants will receive their pairing information
  • December 24th: All packages must be postmarked on or before December 24th
Happy holidays!

Hope everyone is still happy with the whole "postmarked by Christmas Eve" thing. I know it doesn't guarantee packages before Christmas, but it's always a little weird to try and gauge shipping time or delays, and I felt like there was always some anxiety around that.

I believe 23 days is more than sufficient to get my package into someones hands.
