A. I'll stick with the U.S.
B. That'd be the U.S.
C. I'd rather leave it open-ended. For the person I send to I usually do a bit of post history or Google searching to find something interesting but unexpected. Is good fun.
 
This is my first year posting on GAF around Christmas time. I love doing gift exchanges! I'm in.

A. Will ship internationally for sure! I would love to exchange with someone from any foreign country but it really doesn't matter to me.
B. アメリカ, Fuck yeah. (USA)
C. I have a BC PS3, 360, and a Wii. I collect and love loooove artbooks of any kind, especially Udon's. My favorite games are pretty much anything Metal Gear, Street Fighter, and Okami. I'm not picky though, just please nothing sports related :o

This sounds like a lot of fun!

Blu-ray is always a win-win situation. Music is also a big part of my life so anything music related is also good. I love piano and would want to own one even if it's a kid's piano with atleast 40+ keys! :P All in all, I am not very picky so anything entertainment based would keep me happy, whether it be comic books or movies or music or games or instruments.

I have a PS3, PAL Wii, DS, PSP and pretty much all that came before them. I'm in PAL territory. These are the games I own. Well, my posts in the pick-up threads are the best indicator of what I like. )

I would most certainly like to spread the joy.

1. Yes, will ship internationally
2. Australia
3. I have a PS3.
I love books, non fiction primarily (video game related, science (space is awesome), music biographies(i like older bands such as The Beatles, The Who etc))
Anything video game related really, my collection of random video game memorabilia is increasing steadily.
Candy / treats too. My tastes are very Western (specifically whatever I source in Australia, i haven't been overseas) and I would like to try anything.
Anything gadget related too. Forgot to mention that I am moving out into my own place in February, so anything house related, such as a calender would definitely be put to use.
I am 20 and M sized for anything too.
 
Glad I made it this year after missing out twice :)

A. Will ship anywhere
B. United States
C. I have a Wii, DS, and a PS3. I'm well covered for the first two platforms and I have LBP, MGS4 & Uncharted1+2 (love this series!) for the PS3. I've been more interested in tv and to a lesser extent movies but don't really need any Blu-rays. Related merchandise or swag would be great--I'm a size M. Outside of entertainment I love graphic design, traveling (local items if your international would be neat), and have been slowly picking up photography. Those are just some helpful guidelines--I'm just excited to receive anything at all!
 
Secret Santas are always fun, I will throw my hat into the stocking; wait, that sounds weird.

A. I will ship international
B. I live in USA
C. I like oddball/weird/unique items, stuffed animals, sailor moon, keychains, foreign language CDs, homeade items, tshirts (2x), video game schwag (especially animal crossing related), art books, I absolutely love card & board games. I have DS/Wii/PS3. Bottom line tho, if you think it is an interesting/cool item, I will love it. ^___^
 
A. I can ship to anywhere. :)
B. United Kingdom
C. I'd like to discover new/recent anime/manga; the last I truly enjoyed was Haruhi Suzumiya, which was years ago now. I like to collect figurines and gashapon of anything cute, sexy, or plain awesome.
Keenly interested in most sorts of J-games and everything Nintendo. Some favourites include Mario, Metal Gear Solid, Geometry Wars, Katamari Damacy, LittleBigPlanet, Pokémon, Zelda, and anything by Rare. Here's my game list.
Current-gen systems: DS Lite, PS3 (w/ B.C.), Wii, 360 (European/region free only)
Action flicks are cool; Bond films and alike especially.
Candy is yummy.
I use a Mac Mini, and love it.

Hope that's enough info. My apologies if I went a bit overboard. The most important part of this is to have fun, so I would hate to leave you clueless. Thanks, Santa!

When's the deadline for this, anyway? Shopping for the present is one of the best parts!

I just changed it to 10pm PST on the 8th of November. I'll start sending out details on the 9th and hopefully get all of them out to you guys.I built a program to automate the selection process and will be looking at that until the 8th to make sure everything is working as expected.

I'm also thinking of running an automated macro to start sending out the details to you guys on the 9th but haven't worked on that yet and If I'm not able to set that up I will just do it manually starting on the 9th.

List has also been updated.
 
Ah, what the heck, I'm in.

1. Yes, I ship internationally.

2. Sweden

3. I have a DS and a gamecube, but preferably don't want any video games/movies/books. A neat gadget would be fun, but I'll be happy with what I can get. Oh, and some obscure instrument would be fun too.
 
A. Will ship anywhere.
B. USA: Newark, DE
C. I enjoy video games, RPGs especially, I have a PS3 and a 360 but I would also be interested in clothing such as shoes or hoodies(;)). I like very original/unique clothing, could be graffiti-esque/gaming/trippy/just awesome and the preferred colors for clothing would be purple/pink/light blue(how manly). If there is something super awesome out there that isn't games/clothing, I'll be down as well.
 
I don't have a lot of money but I want to do this so I'm in!

A. USA & Canada
B. USA
C. I currently don't have any systems so please no games (hate to say that). I do enjoy anything international/unusual. Things from Japan are also good including candy, toys, comics ect... I enjoy science and history books. Art books of almost any kind (video game art books a plus) Sketchbooks, electronics of any kind, anything culturally unique is good. Really I'm cool with anything else as well, just send whateva.
 
A. I'll ship international
B. Germany

A. Will ship international

Feel free to include stuff from your home region.
 
A.Yes
B.USA
C. hmm i dont know i have all current consoles except for ds, i love street fighter especially.just get me something fun pretty much
 
I really like the idea, but last year was kinda disappointing. I never heard from the dude I was SS for, and never received anything. Double fail :/
 
1. I got a nice package from Japan last year, so I'm willing to ship anywhere
2. USA
3. As far as video games go, I've got an X360 and a Wii. I'm into typical nerdy GAF stuff: comics, games, movies, sci-fi, as well as Atlanta sports. Surprise me!
 
I'm bumping this before people complain they missed this like they apparentely did last year.

I'm still excited and looking forward to present searching.
 
A. Will ship anywhere
B. US
C.

Well, let's start with the things to stay away from. I have a backlog that is very close to hitting the 1k mark, so please don't bother with games unless it's something from the 16-bit era or earlier (PC stuff qualifies too). I suppose a points card for any of the three consoles would work since I'm a whore for XBLA/PSN/WiiWare stuff and Rock Band owns my soul.

I also have more clothing than I need, and knowing my family I'll have to clear out some closet space come Christmas time.

Other than that, I love surprises, no matter how random. In the spirit of offering ideas: I love to read and need to do more of it. I haven't read any fiction written in the past 10 years at least, so if there's a novel, story collection, or graphic novel (I'm a DC guy interested in crossing-over to Marvel) that you think everyone should read, then I'll be your happy guinea pig. If somehow you're into game development (programming/game theory/design, think tech, not art) and know of an awesome book related to that, that would be awesome too.

I also have started to collect BluRays. It's a very small collection so far, so movies are fair game in general. I also love serialized TV such as Dollhouse, Fringe, Dexter, Lost, Battlestar Galactica, Lie to Me, et al. but haven't bought any of the aforementioned outside of Lost (and yes, I already ordered Season 5 of Lost on BRD).
 
Looks like I'm just in time. It's present shopping time anyway so I'll join!

A. Yup, anywhere worldwide is alright with me.
B. UK
C. Into gaming (got all the current consoles/beefy PC) but just something along the weird, unique, gadgety type collectible line would be nice. Something unique to the area/country would be cool too like candy/sweets/snacks. Surprise me.

Will PM the info now. Thanks for setting it up.
 
After 2 years following the thread in the dark, this year I want to take part on it too :) so count me in!

1. Anywhere
2. Spain
3. Any surprise would be greatly appreciated :) especially if it's something I couldn't find over here. I'll say that:
-Movies: I can watch R2 DVD's and Euro Blu-rays
-Games: I can play any games for PS3/PSP/DS and euro games for 360, enjoy music games, quirky games, games in which you have to make a fool out of yourself :D
-In general, I love random/unique stuff and gadgets :)

I look forward to seeing who my victim is. Thanks to the OP for taking the time to do this!
 
Well, looks like we're all set. So when are we going to know the names of our victims? That's my favourite part. :D
 
I'll start later today (really sleepy right now).

I'm pretty sure I have everyone set but I would like to look at it one last time in the morning. I am really paranoid about this sort of stuff because I don't want to make a mistake lol.
