It’s the very special time of the year, the time of giving and receiving (and having and sharing, as Joey would say) GOG gifts – it’s time for Secret Santa 2023! If you're not familiar with the idea - here's a great thread by BranjoHello that contains all the Secret Santa previous editions. This year is the 14th edition of Secret Santa - that wouldn’t be possible without you, my Santas and Elves. But also I want to thank to all the previous organizers: nmillar who started this beautiful initiative, Momo1991, trentonlf, misteryo, BeatriceElysia – your hard work has brought so much joy to these forums. Thank you!

They say 2023 is the year of AI, so I asked AI what Secret Santa on GOG looks like – you can find the answers attached to the thread (some of them very nice, other ones – oh boy!) :-P

After seeing these festive images, we are definitely in the Christmas spirit! :-) Let’s get started! Signups are open :-)

Rules:

1. If you wish to participate please state "I wish to be a Secret Santa".

2. You will have to either:
a. make your wishlist public,
b. post your wishlist in this thread, or
c. send me your wishlist so I can provide it to your Secret Santa.

3. Please send the keys of the games you purchase to me. I will hold onto them and send them out to your giftee on Christmas Day (December 25th).

4. If you do not wish to receive gifts but would still like to give someone else a gift, please state "I wish to be a Secret Elf".

5. If you do not wish to receive gifts but would like to help out in case someone is unable to purchase the gifts they wanted, please state "I would like to be a Helper Elf".

6. Only GOG gifts please, no Steam or other source.

7. This is one of the most important things, once you receive a giftee that means everyone has a giftee and you must not remove or buy anything from your wishlist! If there is a game you really want and feel you can't resist buying then don't put it on the list or enter any giveaways for it. You can add to your list all you want, just don't take away from it after I close the registration phase.

8. Signups will be closed around December 17th.

9. Please deliver your gifts to me via PM by December 24th.

10. I encourage you to add an optional note for your giftee - why you chose this/these game(s) to gift above other ones, or just your wishes for Christmas and 2024.

Lastly - please remember, the GOG account you use to purchase a gift will be visible to the recipient (giftee) - if you'd like to remain anonymous, you'd have to create another GOG account for that purpose.

If you're not familiar with gift purchasing on GOG, here's a support article on that topic. If you have any questions, feel free to message me :-)
