So ever since the 'You guys are my new family' thread I've been wanting to organise a Secret Santa. But that's waaaay too far away. So this is the compromise:
~*~*~June 8th is Everyone's Birthday!~*~*~
The basic idea is, people sign up, everyone gets assigned a person secretly and then they have until June 8th to produce a Birthday present for their person.
Here's the catch: No spending money! Rather than buying your person something, you make them something. It can be something you can send them through email like a picture you made, a song you recorded, a story you made up about them, a video you made, some sort of compilation etc, or, if they don't mind giving their address, you can make something physical like jewellery, a mix cd, a scarf, or even a Munny to send to them!
Then on the 8th everyone posts in the Birthday thread revealing who their, er 'getter' is and posting their present for everyone to see. (Or a picture of it if it's physical)
It's always nice to get something special from someone, so why not bring a little joy to someone on a random day of the year?
If you want to sign up for Everyone's Birthday, fill in the form below and PM me with it. I'm gonna close sign-ups on about the 30th of April if there's enough people, so you've got two weeks to join in!
If you sign up, be dedicated! It would totally suck not to get something on the day, so don't disappoint someone! If you don't think you'll be able to get something in on time, don't sign up!
On the 30th I'm gonna close sign-ups and then send a PM to everyone asking them to reply, confirming they're still in. Then I'll make the list of participants with the people who reply, just to try and minimise peole who've forgotten about it! If you're gonna be away or something that weekend let me know and I'll count you in early.
Also, once I have a preliminary list of people who have signed up I'm going to post them in this thread. When I send the confirmation e-mail I'll ask you to specify who on the list you're willing to give your address to if they want to send you something physical (if you want to give it at all). I'll only give it to your giver if they ask for it and if you've cleared them.

. I rofl'd ;D . I reread 
. I sighed. :-(
The ideas you suggested in your original post were great, but I don't have the talent to do any of that. x|
