This is my first time doing secret Santa. Been browsing and seeing that everyone has gotten multiply items. I only got my person one...... I'm afraid that they won't like the fact that all they're getting is one item. It's a rather large item though.........
Did I screw up big time?

No you didn't @OP.

For every person that gets a crazy number of gifts an equal number get nothing. You did fine.

Hey @carrotsoup, guess I found who sent you the dream catcher.

Does a netflix card , biscuits, candy and a few bags of microwave popcorn count as one?

I would say yes!

Do not be afraid @OP Even just card would be fine in my opinion :) Merry Christmas.

Last year 'all' I got from my SS was a hand-drawn sketch of my dog, Rosie. I fuckin' love it. It lived on the windowsill behind my monitor >

I just got mine a backpack. Its hard to get someone a gift if they dont fill out their bio. Im guilty of it aswell tbf.

I'm guilty of that. Mine just says my name is Jean ValJean. Lol, I hope I get something personalized.

As long as you have a gift you are good. No Worries my friend.

Did you send one huge dildo or several small ones?

This is why I never signed up. I'm too afraid they wouldn't like it because I can't afford a whole lot like apparently everyone else does.

Doesn’t really matter. I had big plans, only to discover that sending it would cost me more than twice my ss-budget

Secret Santa is awesome even if it is just a card, the idea behind knowing someone is thinking of you during the holidays is a gift byitself

My wife has lost her job so I’m making my secret Santa gift!

I sent one gift, if my SS sends me one gift I'd be more than pleased.

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

I had those same feels - plus there was no gift wrap option, so I feel like an extra heel. I just hope they like the thing I did get them!

I thought the same thing but, got my recipient something I thought she would like based on her interest. All about the thought that counts.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I did it for the first time (Christmas 2021) and only sent one thing. I hope they liked it. Mine sent me one thing too and I loved it

You did the secret Santa not knowing if you would get one in return. You did good!

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Not at all! It's always the thought that counts not the price tag! It's awesome that you sent a stranger from.the internet something :)

If I understood it correctly this is not meant to be a competition but about giving someone unknown a pleasant surprise, so all is good imho

I've already seen a guy on here get one bean bag chair and he loved it. You'll do fine. This isn't a contest.

Remember that only the top tier gifts are the ones we see on the front page. There are hundreds of other gifts that we don't see 1/2

8 years ago | Likes 206 Dislikes 0

But that does not make them any less valuable to the recipient. Every gift had thought which makes them special. 2/2

Even in the FAQ it says "It's not the size if the gifts that matter, but the thought put behind them that makes Secret Santa awesome"

My parents told me a lot of shit

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Yeah the thought is important. Picking something that aligns with your person's interests isn't easy that's why you have to write them!

8 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 1

You like pets, probably have a cat, and a foodie. A book of "cat safe" human dessert recipes would work and I didn't have to write you

I didn't explain myself right lol I meant write your 'interests' when you sign up for Secret Santa haha

They said it wasn't a dream catcher, I said it was a dust collector. But I really like the frame , I'd replace the string with a pet photo.
