There seems to be enough interest in doing a Secret Senna for it to be worth doing, so let’s go ahead an do this.

Here’s the plan.

You have until December 23rd to sign up. Sometime during the following week I will match everyone up. By January 1st I will send everyone an email on who they are a Secret Senna for. Let’s try and get gifts sent out by January 16th.

What you need to do: Send me an email at mistermastermario17@gmail.com and include the following info

Oppo username and kinja blog address

Name (optional)

Shipping Address

Whether you’d be open to shipping international (remember it can be pricey)

Finally some rules

If you sign up you send something, don’t be “that guy”

Send your gift in a timely matter, this isn’t Christmas in July (that being said, it’s always better late than never)

Have fun

Let me know if you guys think the timeline or anything needs to be tweaked.

Edit:

For gifts, we’ll go with $5-??. Be as generous as you want. This is about giving what you can and are willing to and be grateful for whatever you get.

Edit2:

I will be setting up a Google doc where people can fill in interests, shirt sizes, cars they drive, etc. to help with gift ideas

DISCUSSION (24)

What are the gift rules?

Once everyone is signed up, are you going to be doing a Google doc file where people can put their auto interests, other interests, shirt sizes, etc, so that we can get a better idea of what to send?

$5-$? That’s how it was a few years ago. The old rule of don’t be a dick applied, but some people didn’t send stuff out.

That’s cool. I wasn’t sure if there was a price range used. Most of these things in the past have been like $20 or something like that.

Sure, that sounds like a great idea.

I figure send what you can/want. XJDano’s $5-?? rule sounds good to me

Roger that.

We did that the last time, and it really helped to pick great gifts for people.

I’ll look later to see if I can find a link to the old one. Would probably be easiest to either use that one or copy the format.

Im in. Sent off an email.

Yep. Though money spent =/= quality of gift.

(My recommendation is to visit your local pick-and-pull yards and find something interesting to pull relevant bits from)

We should get a Google Doc going like the last Secret Senna, where everyone can put what car they drive, what cars they like, and so on.

I’m in.

I’d request everyone’s Kinja blog address, too - may not match their current username. Will make it easier for the gifter to look back into the person’s posts and comments to see what they’re into.

https://kinja.com/davesaddiction , for example

Hey Mario, if you haven’t already, or haven’t already heard from all of them, I’d touch back with anyone who commented on your earlier post asking for people to express interest.
