'Tis the season for the gift of giving...but with a twist!

If you've ever wanted to be Santa, this year is it!

Now Introducing...

ALLKPOP FORUMS Secret Santa!

-TWICE-KNOCK-KNOCK-M-V-twice-jyp-ent-40250052-268-195.gif

Now, you're probably wondering "How will this work? I don't know everyone here enough!"

Well, I'm here to answer that question for you!

Here's How This Works

❄ Sign up in this thread with your favorite KPOP IDOL - Keep in mind that once an idol is taken, it cannot be signed up with again!

❄ After the Signup Period ends, you will get a DM from Rainbowlicious about who you are a Secret Santa for! (If you do not use DMs, please let me know)

❄ You will know who the user and their chosen idol is, along with fun facts about the idol put together by Rainbow, but you will not be able to share with the user themselves about you being their Secret Santa

❄ After getting this information, you'll find an online photo of a product OR make something digitally (moodboard, photo/video edit, short video, poem, letter, etc.) but you will be "sending" this to the idol* you're a Secret Santa for through the same DM I sent you before.

*no choosing gifts that you think the user themselves will like even if you know them well!

PRIZES

I know that you're all curious but we're doing something a little different regarding prizes this time...

Introducing the RAFFLE TICKET!

With each signup, you all will be entered into a random drawing! The possible prizes will be

❄ A hefty amount of akorns (prizes will be revealed soon)

❄ Custom Static OR Animated Badge

❄ ANY existing badge of your choice

All you have to do? Sign up with your idol and be sure to get your gift in before the gift deadline!

If that wasn't good enough for you, we'll be giving small prizes for those who are able to guess who their Secret Santa is before it is revealed! You may ask for hints from Rainbow but the maximum is 3 hints (the more hints you get, the smaller your akorn reward will be!)

*Akorn rates will be revealed later.

The Schedule, Rules, and Signups are the first two posts under this one!

RULES

❄ No inappropriate or derogatory gifts

❄ No sending actual gifts to actual users. It will all be shared digitally. And you won't need to give out any personal information to do so!

❄ ABSOLUTELY NO sharing who you're a Secret Santa for with the person themselves! It ruins the fun...I don't mind if you share it privately for someone you're NOT a Secret Santa for, but also be careful that this person isn't in your group chat or anything!

❄ You will be giving the gifts to the user's chosen idol, not the user themselves!

❄ Share everything in your DM with me. Don't mention me in the thread with your gift!

SCHEDULE (all times are in CST)

If you want more detailed hints, they come at a price!	Tuesday, 12/21 @7PM - Thursday, 12/23 @7PM

Quote from selfmate

so just to clarify it's not like normal secret santa where one has to get a gift

I actually have to make something for the other person

hmm...I'll reserve Jisoo for now????

Nope! You don't have to make something. If you're lazy (like me), you could just find an image online based on some of the facts you get when I send you who you're a Secret Santa for.

For example, if you got Chaeyoung, you could search up "strawberry plushie" and share it to me so I can keep your secret and share it with the receiver.

That's it! That's the present.

Quote from Help1

"A gift to the idol" is either 1. an online photo of a product OR 2. make something digitally (moodboard, photo/video edit, short video, poem, letter, etc.),

So it's something FOR the idol (e.g. if they really liked flowers then it could be of flowers), and not necessarily OF the idol?

Yep, exactly! But if you really wanted to, you could make an edit of a photo frame with the idol and their friends/groupmates and such. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Quote from bluetree

Are signups still open?

If so, I’d like to sign up with Choi Yeonjun from TXT

Yep! There's a lot of time to sign up

Quote from the101

Rainbowlicious this is so cute and creative! Kudos for coming up with such a fun idea!

I know there are other erigoms and other valentines, so I’ll sign up with Kun from WayV, my other bias.

(Just don’t include me with a raffle ticket - someone else should win that stuff. 👍🏽)

Aww, thank you! I can't wait to see how it pans out

Okay! Noted.
