this sounds like an awesome idea

anyone have any suggestions from last year (or other experiences) in order to make it better? 

The biggest problem I had last year was trying to find something my secret santa would like with the limited knowledge from the board.  It's not a problem for some people, but it might be a little more difficult some.

Amazon wish lists are sort of cheesy in this context, but maybe this (or a separate thread) regarding likes and dislikes, the more abstract and esoteric the better?   For example, I like the sky, but I dislike commercial air travel (hint hint, Laurie).

That secretsanta.com site that Erika posted also sounds like a great idea, if only to make your life easier.

I would like to be counted as "in" please.

[KickTheBobo]

In, please.

[Forrest]

Yes, I too would like to be involved in this fun activity.

Well.... if you use one of the websites I suggested they collect people's interests and display them to whomever is assigned to that person.

Plus, I'm sure plenty of folks on here have myspace pages. That's always a way to go with it.

I think it's fun that people have to hunt down what others are interested in via the board, the chat and the recaps.

I'm in, I had loads of fun with it last year, although I never did figure out who my secret Santa was, and they delivered their package to my house personally.

I vote yes.  The sentimental value of a cool FOT art project is worth a million of anything I'd have on my Amazon wish list (like I need more books, music, or DVDs).
