SantaThing: Secret Santa for Book Lovers

Welcome to SantaThing, LibraryThing's Secret Santa for LibraryThing members.

How it works:

1. Sign up, choosing your preferred bookstore and your payment level ($10, $15, $20, $25, or $30). Book Depository, Powell's Books, or Harvard Book Store are available at all payment levels; if you choose the $30 level you'll also be able to choose Amazon or one of its subsidiaries.
2. We choose a LibraryThing member to be your "Santee" (person receiving your Secret Santa attentions). This happens December 1st at 4pm EST.
3. You pick books for your Santee, based on their catalog or using a short description. If you pay $10, you'll receive $10 worth of books; if you pay $30, you'll receive $30 worth of books. All picking must be completed by December 8th at 4pm EST.
4. LibraryThing elves order the books and mail the books to your Santa.
5. You'll receive a package with the book(s) from your Secret Santa.
6. Everyone rejoices.

You must have an address in one of the countries listed here. You can sign up for yourself, and you can also buy in for anyone else—LibraryThing member or not. If the person doesn't have a LibraryThing account, make sure to mention what kinds of books they'd like, so their Secret Santa can choose wisely.

We try to choose Santas based on the content of your catalog, and pick someone who has a similar taste in books. On December 25th we'll reveal Secret Santa identities.

Even if you don't want to be a Santa, you can help by suggesting books for others. Click on a member's name to leave a suggestion.

Any questions? Email infolibrarything.com

Crucial dates:

Thursday, December 1st at 4pm Eastern time. Sign-up ends. Secret Santas are chosen, profile messages sent to the Secret Santa, and you can then enter your gift choices.

Thursday, December 8th at 4pm Eastern time. Gift picking ends. LibraryThing sends the order via eight tiny ponies to the bookstore you chose.
