We were thinking about having a cookie exchange in February btw if there's interest :V
Interested.
Don't send food

Too many people sending food
It's fine so long as there's an actual not-food gift, right?

I'll be out of town over Christmas. Fear not, I'll still send out my gift, but I won't be opening mine till after New Year's.

A good bag of coffee is probably better than most food because it isn't going to go bad and you get a lot more out of it.
Probably wasted if the recipient doesn't like coffee though :v

Also, I would totally enter a cookie exchange, granted that canada post doesn't rape my ass with the shipping stick from the package weight.

First post updated. 33 so far holy hell

FAQ also updated
Q: I want to send someone food!  Can I send food?
A: Probably.  You MUST check with the customs laws surrounding shipment of foodstuffs for both your home country and the destination country before shipping.  Your package is likely to be destroyed rather than returned, so be sure and check.

Just don't send food to Asian countries like Singapore. seriously. every food is almost certainly lost because A - Customs think it is bird nest or illegal food trade. They don't check but if you declare as food it will be just kept. B - they think it is drugs. Half the time it is opened and they just leave it in one corner and it will never arrive.
(with Malaysia I know, my mother mail order vitamins 3 bottles and only 1 arrived, apparently the other two, despite checked, were 'kept for reference' I dunno lol)

Yeah, we should all hang out some time. Grab a drink and watch a game somewhere.

On Thanksgiving weekend? Could be tricky but I'm probably flexible. Also, I'm under 21, if that becomes and issue.

How are people paired up? I realized this could be turned into a very interesting problem since the definition of international shipping is dependent on a person's location and there are groups of people for which a Secret Santa configuration do not exist. For example, a lone person in a country who refuses to ship internationally will not be able to send a gift to anyone. If Vic is going to be a nice guy, he will also minimize the need for international shipping.

Yeah know what, over the course of writing this post I think I figured it all out. There's one condition under which a group can't be made, and the number of people who have to ship international has a lower bound of the number of different countries. The upper bound of people who have to ship international is a little more interesting. Even better, how would Vic pick pairs to minimize the total shipping cost even within countries?
