So last year I had the idea of running a secret santa event for the people of steamgifts. It went amazingly and I think everyone had fun and loved the gifts they received. This year I want to open the group up again for another year of secret santa. People who were in the group last year have gotten priority as joining members but there is still plenty of spaces left for new people to join.

What is it?

So I saw reddits version of secret santa and thought it would be great if we did another version of this for steamgifts. So I created this steam group. This is a group made for people who enjoy gaming and can give awesome games to others who would enjoy them. This is made to enjoy the spirit of christmas and of sending gifts to each other.

How does it work?

Sometime during December everyone will be given another member of the group randomly that they are to send a game gift to. This will give plenty of time for the person to buy a game for their allocated person. The game will need to be delivered to the user on or within 5 days of christmas (25th december) or up to 5 days before christmas day. The gifter must create a private giveaway on steamgifts for the person to enter to ensure no exploitation.

Group page

Rules

  • Minimum Contributor Level of 4.
  • Only give games as presents.
  • An updated steam wishlist with at least 30 games on it and none that you already own. The top 10 games should be ranked properly. You should be respectful and put games of various price points on there and not just $60 AAA releases on there. Wishlists should be fully updated before 10th December to stop exploitation. If any of these rules aren't followed you will be kicked from the group.
  • Upon joining the group, an initial unbundled giveaway of at least $10 non sale value will be need to be created within 48 hours to ensure you are trustworthy. You may make more steamgifts giveaways after this but it is not needed. (I didn't want to do this but I don't want the group to be exploited and couldn't figure out a better way to check people are trustworthy).
  • The gift sent to your allocated partner must be an unbundled game of at least $10 value when not on sale, and must be on the persons wishlist.(This is to ensure fairness and to make sure no one exploits the group).
  • The gift sent to your allocated partner must not be exploited or have had a price error at any point.
  • The gift you receive must be activated on your own account and is not to be sold or to be given to anyone else.

There is currently a group limit of 50 and I will close the group when it reaches this amount.

Please comment if you qualify and wish to join the group. Also feel free to ask if you want anymore details of the group.

Sorry for the late organization of secret santa this year. Invites probably will only be open for a week or so because of this so comment quick if you are interested in joining.

Edit: Invites are going to be closing on the 8th December.

Tl;DR: There is none. Read or leave.

These are the rules that we came up with up between us when we were running the event last year. Most of them were requested by a lot of people so I decided to keep them.

Hmmm... good idea. You don't mention in the rules that the 30 games in our Wishlist need to be under 10$ - or any price limit at that. What if I add only games like JC3, F4, GTA V and so on? I'm sure I could fill up my wishlist with 30 of such games. Then my partner would have to buy one of those?


Not applying right now, I'll see if I get time to clean up my wishlist first.

I did have a rule in there that you should have a games of a variety of prices but I dunno where it went. Put something in there now

Add something like 'added to wishlist before 2015-11-29', that would cut out smart cookies

Hmm yeah but some people need to still add games to their wishlist cause theres aren't big enough

Really good idea, loved it last year. But now I don't really feel like giving out a bigger amount of money (last year my "target" cleared out his WL and filled up it with 40-60$ games in the last second -.-' I'd rather avoid it this year) and at the same time I don't want to get another game - I'm fine with my few entries on SG :)

Nice idea, but I'm too afraid of getting someone who only has really expensive games on their wishlist (should be respectful is not have to), so I'm not applying.

Good luck and loads of fun to everyone who joins :)

I would love to join! I read the rules, and I've been waiting for someone to make this.

quick question, when the time comes, why can't I give the person my gift straight away instead of making a private gibways?

Comment has been collapsed.

Because it was decided last year, pretty much in agreement with all members, that it would help to make sure the person doesn't sell on the gift or give it to someone else. Not that I think anyone would but I just think it's a good extra safety measure.
