Possibly a dumb question -- do you want to keep participants just within the US?

I am from Canada, and have purchased stuff for people from the US and France before, so no worries.

I always choose to do US only, the lower 48 states, simply because it allows me more freedom to go crazy. Nothing personal. It's a tactile thing.

International Goodjers are always welcomed.

I'm in again, after digging my Secret Stan debut last year.

Love the picture of stupid sexy Santa...

I've done the form and fully intend* to go back in and add wishlist items

If you're not on there, it's probably because you didn't submit the form. Or you angered me somehow. You know what you did.

Look, in my defense... wait, I'm on the list. Nevermind.

I've been too long on funds to participate for the last 2 years, but this year I've actually saved some extra cash just so I can join! I had some research assistance work this year, and this was literally the first thing I thought of when I got my first pay

Edit:

I filled in "not willing to ship internationally", but I'm aware there are very few Australians on the site. I'm willing to ship overseas if there's no easy match for me in the next few weeks.

Another quick note: The Australian postal system is not doing so great with COVID. We've been told to ship things extra extra early if we want them to arrive by Christmas. Just...uh, a heads up I guess. Things going in and out of Australia will likely be severely delayed.

I always thought this question wasn't necessarily relevant, because it can be pretty easy to buy in the giftee's country and have it shipped directly to them. And it's a totally valid way to do it.
Also bypasses duty fees.

This thread is slow. Here is my favorite new and disowned Disney Christmas Special!

Last year I was in the very middle of what turned out to be 13 months of unemployment. It was the big-time dumps but I did this thing anyway. After all, everybody was in big-time dumps of their own. Lifting someone else's spirits might lift my own, right? I put some serious idle time into something special and it did -- and it did.

Now I have a job with some wonderful people at a place that's constantly working to save lives. I'm one of the few who are trusted to care for their beating heart and determine its future care. There's much less idle time, but I have genuine cheer to send!

Yeah, I actually did this last time I was able to participate and it wasn't too bad. Good point.

I was hoping to send something a little more personal in addition to my gift (i.e, from the real me, not Amazon etc.) but I can pretty easily downsize that so it won't break the bank to send overseas.

Trichy could you please open me up to international victims?

In! Thanks again for all the work you put into this.
