For our Christmas party we were talking about a Kris Kringle thingy, but it'll be a bit difficult to do per se because it's tricky to randomly allocate a person to each attendee while we're only online. So what we came up with instead is a Santa Sack, so that everyone who comes to the party can bring a $5-$10 gift (or you can make something if you prefer) that we can put into a sack and each person can draw a random gift from it. The gifts need to be generic, in the sense that they will suit either male or female attendees, and non-offensive. I'm mentioning this now because the party may end up being towards the end of November and we'd like to give you all as much notice as possible. Any feedback/comments? Thanks, ~Yvette

Aaaaah! We do that at work....we call it "Secret Santa". We all contribute a unisex gift, nothing over $10. Yeh, I love that idea!

sounds great Yvette, i like the price braket thingy so as to keep it far. (ponders about what to buy for the sack ??)
would it be possible for me to make a item josh themed to put in the sack? just an idea provided i don't break copyright.

Sure! That's fine Morgan I'll amend the original post to say that people can make things if they prefer, for the Santa Sack, rather than buy them. I think it'll make it more personal too Good thinking! Thanks! ~Yvette
