Yes the Pouring Pot tradition is back again this year, it is secret santa time. How it works is there is a website called Elfster that will organize the event for us and it has worked wonderfully the last two years. All you have to do is sign up and create a profile. The website will then ask for your wish list (don't worry about doing this though we will have a separate wishlist thread here on the pouring pot), and then it draws names for everyone after the cut off date. We had no problems last year with Elfster or the year before that so I would like to use it again, however if anyone is uncomfortable using Elfster, please let me know.
RULES:
1. The budget is $20. You can spend more if you like, but there is no guarantee that the gift you receive will match the amount you spent.
2. When you sign up, you are committing to purchase and ship a gift to someone (and international shipping to/from Canada potentially). Please do not ruin the fun by failing to send a gift. If something comes up and you are unable to purchase a gift for your Secret Santa, please contact me ASAP. I understand that things come up and life gets in the way. I just ask that you communicate these issues with me up front so we can resolve any problems immediately.
3. Gifts are not restricted to CBV or CBVBB products. Feel free to include books, your favorite stores, your hobbies, etc in your wish list so your Secret Santa can get a better idea of the perfect surprise for you.
4. Please sign up by November 20, 2014. Elfster will send out names and addresses after that date. Please send your gift no later than December 12, 2013 to ensure that it arrives before Christmas.
5. HAVE FUN!!!!
