Why am I here?

You've probably been sent here by a friend. If you did not get an invite, please contact @maxdavinci.

What is this?

You have been selected to participate in Desi Secret Santa for 2022 by a friend who wishes you to be part of this joyous tradition of anonymous gifting. Basically you recieve & give gifts to people you have actually never met.

How do I go about it?

1. Once you have an invite, you register on the site & wait
2. On the day of declaration, log in to find out who your santee is
3. Now buy them a gift. You can stalk your santee on FB/Twitter or buy something from their wishlist
4. Parcel the gift to your santee by fedex/UPS or USPS flatrate boxes!
5. Unless notified you also have an assigned Santa, so just wait & check your mailbox
6. Scream loudly, tell everyone how amazing the world is and how there still are nice people.
7. Take a picture of the gift. Upload it anywhere and come back to the site to let us know
8. If you are on twitter then do tag @DesiSecretSanta, so that we can like it

Fine, but are there any rules?

Oh we're glad you asked!

1. YOU DO NOT TALK ABOUT BEING A SECRET SANTA
2. If you do not gift anything before the 7th Jan 2022 you will be banned & shamed publicly
3. You better spend more than $10. That is the minimum. There is no maximum however we don't expect anyone to go beyond $20.
4. If you are on twitter, ensure that the @DesiSecretSanta handle has liked your uploaded gift pic.
5. Keep your expectations low and just enjoy the pleasure of anonymous gifting
