Once you sign up, you just have to wait for the elves confirmation that's going to be sent by private message. The message is sent by one of our cute elves, example of one of them here: https://myanimelist.net/profile/elf-pyon

Then around December 12th, you'll get the name of your recipient with instructions on where to submit your gift. :) You don't send the gift to your recipient yourself, the elves will take care of that.

The reveal of all the recipients and santas will be done in another thread at the end of the event (December 30th - January 2nd-ish). Here's how it looked last year: https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1818820

@PolyphemusTC I think you already made a post in the right place, but make sure you post your sign-up in the right threads:

@Therese217 Sorry, it seems like there's a glitch with the invite you got. Use this one instead to join back and it should be fine now: https://discord.gg/E2xC8ZF

You might need to go through the vetting again though. If there's anything else or it's not working, you can just tag me here or send me a private message.

Hey! I would like to volunteer.
I don't write in English so well, but I can understand easily almost everything, so... maybe I'm not the best person in the world to help sending messages to users, but If you need someone to intermediate a talk or directly talk to a Portuguese speaker that has difficulties speaking in English (or something you think I'll be useful for), I'm here.

If you signed up for elf gift, you don't need to confirm anything, but you still get a message from an elf.

If you're having problems picking an anime (or manga) for someone, don't forget about the Affinity function! You can see anime that you both share in your list, as well as compare scores to see where your interests line up. I'm using it right now to make my picks, and it has been super helpful.

Explaining my scoring system would take more than 650 characters.

🎅 All the recipients have now been sent to the Santas! 🎅






If you haven't received yours, please post in this thread or send a private message to the same elf who sent you the confirmation message.

Remember to not send your gift directly to the person! Read the instructions in the message carefully!

Is there a discord channel available? I had a lot of fun in the SS channel last year. I also feel like venting after getting my target.

It would also help if this thread was pinned in a stable manner somewhere. Because from what I see on some days it is and on some days it is not, and I have found it this time only because I know it exists.

Thanks for the tips and advice! That being said, I need to watch Kubikiri Cycle, I've heard too many good things.


Hope you get the chance; it's really well done. And ... bizarre. If you like philosophy, or history, or murder mysteries, you're bound to love it.

I got so busy with work, I forgot to sign up for the secret santa. :cry:

Maybe we can exchange gifts, you and me. I'm willing to make anime or manga recommendations (though I've read very few manga) and trade art (I don't draw but can do image manipulation stuff). Might be fun. :-) Worth a shot, anyway.

Aww that'd be fun :)

I can do basic art but am a little busy so can't make time for it as of now. 😅

I'm okay with anime rec. Preferably a movie or under 12 eps. Dm me what kind of manga/anime rec you'd prefer!

I haven't gotten anything yet either, so you're not alone.

I set it to that it's okay for the gift to show up on my plan-to-watch list, but couldn't find anything on there that wasn't there before. (Check yours!)

According to the announcement gifting happens until December 26th, so maybe it's not done yet.

Edit: Also reading the reply from DeadlyRaven above, they hadn't send any gifts yet yesterday so seems everything is in order!

No gifts have been sent yet. :) You guys can relax.

The elves are trying their absolute best, but there's a lot to do so the dates are approximative. Please be patient with us a bit more~



We're currently around 87% done, but it's extremely hard to gauge when we'll be ready to send the gifts. When all the gifts have been sent, a message will be posted here.

Yeah but they might have started on the 22. It could take another full day.
