R2R Secret Santa is coming... What are some good questions we should ask this year?

[Daniel@R2R]

Just a fun thread as we're waiting for this year's Secret Santa registration thread to get started. Every year, we have a registration thread with questions to help Secret Santas figure out gifts for their recipients. What do you think are some good questions everyone should answer to help out their Secret Santas?

 

[Daniel@R2R]

Last year's questions were:

1. What country are you located in?
2. What is one thing you always need more of?
3. What do you like to do on the weekends?
4. What are your other hobbies/interests?
5. How do you relax after a long day at work?
6. Do you collect anything?
7. What is your favorite color?
8. What is one TV show or movie you can watch over and over again?
9. What type of music do you listen to?
10. Do you follow any sports teams?
11. What's your favorite fish?
12. Favorite coral?
13. Favorite invert?
14. Tell us about your tank(s)! What size are they? What do you keep in them? Do you have a build thread?
15. Do you have any planned upgrades or hopeful future tweaks to your tank(s)?
16. What's your favorite thing to watch in your tank?
17. Are there any parts of the reef hobby you get really excited over?
18. What are some good gift ideas for you? (This isn't meant to be a wish list. Just some general thoughts or ideas for whoever draws your name.)
19. Would you be interested in receiving livestock? If yes, what would you be interested in? *disclaimer due to the busy holiday season we recommend not shipping livestock*
20. Are there any additional questions you wish we had asked that we didn't? (Add those questions in under these and post your answers.)

What candy, cookie, or other treat do you remember you loved as a kid that you you haven't had in years and years? (Only applies to us old geezers)

 

[Stang67]

What size t-shirt/hoodie/socks/ etc?
What is something you DONT want to get?
What is the next reefing/tank project you have been planning?

 

[Gumbies R Us]

What is something you’ve always wanted or something you have wanted to try that is not readily accessible where you live

 

[Reefing102]

Do we have any update as to when this is starting? At this point almost everyone will miss out on the Black Friday sales

"Do you have a copy of Paul B's book?"

I would ask him to stop everyone killing each other around the world and chill out get a hobby like reefing

Is this still happening?

 

[Reefing102]

Is this still happening?

Unfortunately I don’t see it happening

 

[Kellie in CA]

Bummer, I look forward to this every year.

Unfortunately I don’t see it happening

 

[Steven91]

did this happen or reg start?

 

[Reefing102]

Bummer, I look forward to this every year.

I do too. Even though I’ve had my disagreements with things in the past it’s always fun. Last year registration didn’t start til the 21st and now we are pushing the 27th with no word.

I get that it takes a lot of time and organization but it’s not like it’s a new event.

Maybe today since the holiday is done and partner sign up is over?

 

[CasperOe]

Wonder if one can participate from the UK this year?

They generally allow anyone to sign up. It’s generally just a bit harder to pair up international members but I got paired up with someone in the South Pacific one year and there were no issues

I hope! They would have to really get to the matching quickly and not wait for stragglers as much as they have in the past.

Guess it best not to hold my breath though I agree that there doesn't appear to be enough time. Oh well. I did see something on another platform where people posted what they wanted and if someone had something laying around not being used they contacted them privately and just sent it to them. I think it was something on FB.

Hello everyone! The registration thread will be posted TODAY! I do apologize for the delay. This is way later than we had planned to get this going, but let's have a blast with it all the same!
