ATM 2023 Secret Santa Registration
To register simply let me know you want to register by telling me you want to register!
Registration ends December 14, 2023
Your recipient will be sent to you December 15, 2023
If you don't know how the club Secret Santa works here's some info:
The club Secret Santa is where you register, get matched up with a name, and then you buy that person a gift. Registration usually is open for 2 weeks. At the end of those 2 weeks you will be told who your recipient is.
We do ask that gifts be no cheaper than 500k on shop search. You may send a more expensive gift if you wish, but please keep to Mara's gift giving rules. If it's a very expensive gift please submit a support ticket asking permission before sending it. We don't want you or the receiver to get in trouble over this for sure!
If you register and then do not send a gift to your recipient you will be banned from participating for at least 3 years in the future. If you register it is not fair to not participate.
When I send out the mail with who your recipient is I usually send out tips on how to find a good gift for them :_ I also remind people to make sure their wishlist is up to date, and please don't have only insanely expensive things on it. Some participants do not have huge budgets and so they would like to get you something you would want and they can afford.
If you need help affording a gift I may be able to help. I never have a problem helping find gifts to give or helping with affordability.

*IDEA FROM DANI: Oh no! One of the elves was drinking hot cocoa and spilled it all over Santa's laptop! While cleaning it up the unfortunate elf must have hit the wrong button, because suddenly Santa's list is in a secret code where all the letters have been replaced with numbers! With Christmas fast approaching, Santa needs his list, and he needs to be able to read it. Can you decode Santa's list so that he knows what present goes to which person?
Hints: 10=G, 9=E, 23=T, and 1=S because everyone "gets" something!
Each line is a sentence "Clubbie gets Item name"
Each line contains the name of a club member and an actual marapets item, all items are Christmas or Holiday themed.
If the club member's name has a number it in the number has been removed to erase any confusion.
Every club staff member is included in Santa's list!
NOTE - Needs to be adapted. Can change prize to any elf item.
