Question how to make a gift?
| @Kirika_Sakura If you want to participate, you only need to sign up for one event, depending on what you want. If you sign up for multiple events, you'll have to make multiple gifts. Once matches are sent out, you'll receive a DM with instructions on how the event works. In short: For Anime/Manga, you look at your recipient's post for what they want and find a series you think they'd like (must be one they have not watched/read yet). If there are issues with your gift, you'll receive a DM from an elf with further instructions. For Images, you edit a gift based on what your recipient is asking for. |

| Cannot believe it's that time of the year agaon already 😳 Looking forward to the MAL Secret Santa event this year again too! 😄 |

| Every time I participated I was very specific about what I desired aka I wanted to help them and be more accurate as much as possible without the need to search for hours and the people that responded were almost offended because they were most likely not even willing to read what I desired . To everyone who is reading this and already has big amount of plan to watch and completed anime or manga etc on hs account you will most likely neither get an actual anime or manga you wanted/missed nor you will have people willing to do what was requested. The images one sound good though... |
| Looks fun! I'd love to help! |
 |
| I'm interested in helping : ) |

| If y'all need more elves let me in *rattles cage* |

how do we get our users? in MAL inbox or in email?
| @mushfik002 It's by mal inbox! You'll get a private message with your match and all the instructions you need to make/write your gift/s |
| I'm interested in volunteering this year! EDIT: Also, I think "Changes Since 2022" might be a copy/paste error? I think we still had elf gifts last year. |

| @Yubisoft I actually prefere detailed likes/dislikes and gift ideas, the whole point of getting a gift is finding these things out to attempt to make the best gift possible (i also generally start irl christmas shopping in july so maybe i am a bit of a rarity xD) |

| I am interested volunteering Ho ho HO |
 Best Shitty Reviews “Like is like a blank canvas you paint it with whatever you want (colors,blood,sweat,shit etc)” Current Season rec : Layton Mystery Tanteisha: Katri no Nazotoki File I am an anime OST Maniac and they play a huge role in my rating for a anime. interested ? click the GIF>>>>> |
| Tne badge this year is soooo cute :3 |
        |
| I was a bit disappointed when I took part last year. The series I got recommended didn't even match up with what I really asked for. |
| last year i put so much effort into searching for anime and writing its writeup for my guy but in return i got bullshit, no writeup or anything and i dont even remember the anime that was recommended to me it was that different from what i asked for. nice badge this time but not doing this bullshit again where what you do isn't appreciated. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |

| @Yubisoft I've been participating in this event for 4 years now and every time I got good recommendations, not that I didn't know about what I got but with secret santa, you're given an opportunity to check something you might not normally check or it's not one of your priorities and it might be better than you think. Sure if you're picky and completely know what will you like/enjoy and have a nice schedule for yourself to check whatever is good, there's no need to signup (still there's a desire to give what you like to others) but don't think Yubisoft said: is true for most or at least it's not true for enough people that have big listsTo everyone who is reading this and already has big amount of plan to watch and completed anime or manga etc on hs account you will most likely neither get an actual anime or manga you wanted/missed nor you will have people willing to do what was requested. |
