A reminder that we have many different types of people playing the game. Some love the sleuth, some love the hunt for the perfect gift, some need the validation of knowing they're on the right track.
This is one reason I do the questions to help people get to know you -

For #SecretSantaAoNZ I would like to say that crafted, second-hand etc is wonderful.
If you are struggling, a copy of your favourite book, a poem that moved your soul, or an album that changed your life, I'd love to know the things that mean the most to you.
Remember it is the thought not the $$

Once upon a time Santa made their Giftee a one off original set of Discworld Tarot, Terry Pratchett fans look upon it in all it's glory in the attached Thread #SecretSantaAoNZ
Who wants a geez 🥹🙏
Did you see the handmade tarot cards one year on the old site? I'm still ABSOLUTELY gobsmacked at the time and effort on that one.
