CSSS Secret Santa Event

posted by VJ Bakhshi on Nov. 17, 2018, 3:15 p.m.

Hello Everyone,

For the first time ever, the CSSS will be organizing a Secret Santa event!

What is Secret Santa, you ask?

Secret Santa is an arrangement in which a group of friends or colleagues exchange Christmas presents anonymously. Each member of the group is assigned another member for whom they provide a small gift, typically one costing no more than a set maximum amount.

Who can sign up? Any SFU student with a valid SFU email can sign up.

What's the set price amount? $30 Max.

How do you sign up? Go to the following link and fill in the websurvey : http://websurvey.sfu.ca/survey/331445437

When is sign up?

Sign up will go from November 17th to 11:59 PM on November 25th. A confirmation email will be sent out to everyone entered the morning of November 26th, if you do not receive a confirmation by 10AM shoot an email to vbakhshi@sfu.ca to confirm your entry. The only way you aren't entered is if you signup without an SFU email OR if there was a typo in your SFU email.

When will you know who you're gifting?

At 6PM on Monday November 26th an email will be sent to you containing information about who you'll be getting a gift for. Remember to keep it a secret! ;)

What should you do with the gift once it's been purchased? Hang on to it and make sure it's labelled and follows the rules outlined in the websurvey. We will be hold the gift exchange on Dec. 3 at 4:30PM in the ASB Atrium in front of the CSSS common room. Hot chocolate will be server during the exchange.

If you have any further questions, send an email to vbakhshi@sfu.ca and ask away.

Thanks,

VJ
