2019 MTURK CROWD SECRET GIFT EXCHANGE

[jan]

I might put interests in my wish lists because I don't want things per say. I'm the worst

I didn't participate last year because there was a wish list. I'd rather folks put interests, I suppose.

(might participate this year......thinking

I didn't participate last year because there wasn't a secret Santa exchange last year.

oh, oops!
year before
(my bad.....)

 

[Turtlefemm]

I think it's just easier for many people to look at a list when they don't know someone very well or at all.

thanks and got it on the text entry of interests/hobbies. Wish List for me entered.

I don't understand how interests don't translate into things. I assume when one or several of you put "german shepherd dogs", you would want something with a german shepherd theme or image on it since a german shepherd dog is like $15K (beyond our $20 limit).

@rsmath Here's a screenshot of how to just put text in for wishes.

yep. It's the lamest when it's not so obvious to me. I see a search bar and assume I have to search their catalog of suggestions/items and point and shoot stuff into a wish list. I'd rather just type text of my interests/hobbies, especially since that's my preference since I can simply take someone's interests/hobbies and type it into a search box at a retailer and get a list of items for sale to consider gift giving that would meet that person's likes.

I just got around to writing about things I like. I am the slowest of slow turtles.

Aww, it's okay! I forgot to update my own thing until the day I reminded people lol

 

[rsmath]

names have been drawn. Please write up something for a wish list if you havent' done already.

 

[GoldenTemple]

...

nevermind

im dumb

Yay everyone has been matched!

I think the biggest thing is I hope everyone can figure out who they have. I know some people didn't put their forum name in their sign up name (myself included). It does appear that Elfster lets you edit your name or Nickname on your account - so if everyone can add their forum name, that should help.

Make sure to update wish list with items (or interests!) To help your secret santa out!

 

[themildone]

I'm in love with the person I was paired with...they have a lot of the same interests as I do, which I didn't know!

 

[Turtlefemm]

So everyone has their name for the exchange, now, right?

 

[Binxybaby]
