Hi Reef2Reefers!! We're excited to invite you to participate in the R2R Secret Santa 2019 gift exchange! This a great way for our members to spread some holiday cheer and as a bonus get to know each other little better.

I mean lots of us have family and friends who just don't get this crazy hobby of ours, and let's face it, they're probably more likely to get you another pair of socks than that latest trinket for your reef hobby that you've been eyeing... But this gift exchange will be different because it's FOR REEFERS BY REEFERS! This will be lots of fun for everyone!!

Here is how it will work:

Members can sign up between now and November 27th.

Secret Santas will be assigned on November 28th.

The total value of the gift must be at least $20.00. Please keep in mind that you may go above the minimum, but you may not receive the same in turn.

Buy or make gifts by 12/14/2019

Ship all gifts the week of 12/14/2018-12/21/2019

Delivery confirmation is mandatory and will need to be sent to @Santa Claus.

Due to issues with shipping and gift, we unfortunately need to limit participation at this time to the US. However, if we have enough international Reef2Reefers who would like to participate, we could start a separate pool to allow international participants of different regions to participate with others from their region. If you're an international member who would like to participate, please PM @Santa Claus.

All R2R Secret Santa participants will receive a special SS banner under their username.

To sign up, you will need to:

PM @Santa Claus with your contact information (name and email so that we can PM you the link to sign up on Elfster and join the gift exchange).
