PH Secret Santa 2024: Santa’s AI-Powered Gifting Revolution - The AI is rising up and so are PH'ers...
First off, a BIG thanks to the Cap for previous runs, I am honoured to be handed the chilli fist for this year.
2024 will be remembered for many things, Kier Starmer and the many nicknames he has generated, releasing of sausages, Trump surviving two attempts to off him and however the holy hell thats going to play out against Kamala in the Presidential race, the continued horific troubles in Gaza and Ukraine. But perhaps the biggest drive in 2024 came from tech with the increase and rise of LLMs and the such all branded under the catch all term "AI". But we care about none of that because its time for that constant in your life to return, that comforting sense of contentless that comes but once a year, its like slipping on an old pair of trainers, or in PHSS parlance, like lubing up a well spiced dildo, Diddy has nothing on us!
An important note which remains from previous years: Brexit is still rather bothersome for the PHSS. One thing to be mindful of now is the potential for duty costs when receiving internationally (ohhh er). So… a question remains from last year: whether you are happy to receive from an international PH’er. When it comes to matching I’ll aim not to match someone from say Germany with someone from Rotherham if a French PH’er is available.
As it seems is traditional, I'll copy & paste parts of last years thread opener + rules, robbed from previous threads as it worked well (credit to me from 2018 and then the Cap) ..
Basic Format:
victim giftee (got to stop doing that!), send me a PM.
Every now and again I will type out a list of anonymous messages and list who they are for. This will save people giving away their identity and revealing themselves to their SS. I will endeavour to do this on a daily basis, rest assured I will post up messages wherever and whenever possible!

Basic Format:
- Starting from right now, RIGHT NOW!!!, register your interest by sending me a PM with your details on (summary of required details is in the rules below)
- At the same time, add your name to the Wiki. DON’T BREAK THE TABLE like the Cap manages to on almost every previous occasion he has attempted to use it
- Closing date for entry is 10pm on Friday 3rd November 2023
- Within short order you'll receive an email with your victim "gift recipient's" details
- Start stalking your
victimrecipient. Checking through post history, getting to know your target, learning about them, researching Facebook, disguising yourself to follow closely etc are all part of the fun. Use your newly gained info wisely to decide on the perfect gift for your target, perhaps open up a line of credit in their name… - Once purchased, wrap your gift and post to your target. Target spend is £10 plus P&P (Feel free to spend more if you wish but there is no pressure here!)
- Update the Wiki to say you’ve sent their parcel bomb.
- Sit back and wait until Christmas Day when you can open your gift!
Every now and again I will type out a list of anonymous messages and list who they are for. This will save people giving away their identity and revealing themselves to their SS. I will endeavour to do this on a daily basis, rest assured I will post up messages wherever and whenever possible!
PH Secret Santa 2024 Rules:
- Secret Santa, add your name to the list and then pop me a PM with your username, real name, address, a small list of likes/dislikes and whether NSFW things are acceptable (apparently nobody wants to open a box containing a dildo in front of little Johnny on Xmas morning). If you don't supply information, it'll be assumed you're happy with whatever you get!
- Anybody with allergies or things, please mention in the email
- Target spend is £10 + postage (Spending more is at the senders discretion)
- There will likely be a few international PH'ers involved. If you don't want to pay that little extra for postage please say in your email. If you are a kind hearted soul and actually want an international PH'er then please say this (there is, I believe, one or two PHers around the 'Ring/Spa etc). Any secret Santas without a preference will be used in the case there are not enough people volunteering to do it
- Closing date for entry is 10pm on 3rd November 2024. During the following few days I will issue everyone an email with the details of your Secret Santa. This is a strict cut off date - if you snooze you lose I'm afraid.
- Non-senders of gifts will be named and shamed & potentially suffer VBRJ - anyone have a can of red bull or some frozen sausages handy?
- If a person has specifically requested NOT to receive a certain gift (a common example being a dildo), please do not send them it - that's just not cricket
- Also, if you haven't received a gift near to Christmas let me know. Christmas mail is busy and some of the post to international PH'ers may take longer
- All record of addresses will be destroyed after secret santa is completed
- Photographs of received gifts must be posted on this thread upon opening

Gawd, a year already??
I've hardly posted all year it seems so Heavens help my poor PHSS. But never mind, I'm in anyway!
