Dear Santa
You asked me to post here and introduce myself 
I donāt have any characters, because I like to crew. But one of the things I enjoy most about LARP is that it inspires me to draw. So if you happen to have pencils or pens or sketch books, those would be amazing.
I also love sweet things or snacky things. And Pandas haha
Thanks Santa,
Che Crawford
Dear Santa,
I donāt believe in you, but I donāt see why we should let that get between us, or at least between you and giving me free things.
Iām playing a lot of one-off 3 hour games and Iām in one campaign as a soon-to-be-married steampunk gypsy. I donāt own a lot of leather (other than corsetry and boots etc) so anything like pouches or belts or leather accessories would make me exceedingly excited.
Otherwise the costume things Iām looking for this side of January are red and gold fabric/brocade, gypsy/steampunk bling and Victorian medical gear. Iām sure Anthony Doornebosch could advise if Iāve missed anything. Otherwise thereās always gypsy yum as a fallbac ( Ie. Whittakers Berry and Biscuit). Warning: This may or may not be consumed in one sitting.
Dear SS
For Christmas this year I would love some larp related stuff, I currently play an Ovidian Mage Mercenary and a 1930ās archaeologist whoās slowly losing her mind and has a growing affection for guns 
Otherwise I have come back from Germany with a penchant for big scarves and chocolate is always a winner especially white chocolate
Please donāt send me anything with coffee, marshmellows or anything pink 
Thank you in advance

Dear Santa,
If youāre inclined to get me something for larp, I play the pirate most widely known as Captain Kate (Teonn), and I play a 1930s occultist linguist thatās seemingly permanently attached to her occult tome (Witch House). Homemade stuff is awesome, but I know not all Santas are crafty. Not unlike a magpie, I like most anything shiny, especially costume jewellery. I have a fondness for interesting trinkets. I also love anything to do with H.P. Lovecraft and his Cthulhu Mythos, and I think steampunk is very pretty. If youāre inclined to bring sweets, I like really dark chocolate best of all. Please do not give me alcohol
Thank you very much in advance for your time and effort, Santa!
Hey SS,
I donāt play many regular characters, but like Steampunkery, Victoriana and gypsy-ish genres.
Not into āgirlyā stuff, or useless ornamentsā¦ and would always go more purples, blues and golds, than bleurchy pink or beige.
Actually, I do seem to lack Victorian-looking jewelery.
I would love to get a chance to be a Water Elemental in a Teonn game before itās all over, so feel free to feed this longing.
Would also love some non-modern looking cutlery.
Also have a recent penchant for fur (as long as nothing endangered died specifically for me), so recycled / vintage is coolā¦ and interesting feathers
Anything Masonic-themed (except actual masonry!).
Gold ribbon or trim.
Back-ups: Chocolate-wise Iām more āpale and sweetā than ādark and richā; and Iād go more āfruityā than ānuttyā (apart from peanut butter chocolate which somehow breaks the natural order of things in my nut-phobic world due to itās salty/sweet deliciousness!)ā¦ oh, and Russian / Vanilla fudge
Oh, that was actually fun! I thought my missionary ancestry would haunt me and tell me Iām not allowed to say what Iād likeā¦ but I did! How liberating! There you are SS - youāve already gifted me with a lovely experience, so any ACTUAL gift is just a bonus
Hullo Santa!
Thereās nothing specific I need, I just like surprises! I suppose for guideline-type things, Iām quite fond of bright colours, but also of leather (though unlikely at the same timeā¦). I like quirky things, but not purposeless things (things that just sit on the shelf to look pretty). Pockets are wonderful. I like the Steampunk aesthetic but am fairly lacking in appropriate props and ornamentation myself. An always-appreciated fallback is stationary/calligraphy paraphernalia. I love bookbinding, though havenāt yet learned it myself. As for edibles, Iām not a fan of sugar and donāt eat grains, which probably makes things fairly tricky on that frontā¦ Anything that showcases a particular talent of yours would be more than welcome as well - I am endlessly amazed by the magical skills of this extraordinary group
Eeee, excitement! Havenāt caught up with you for a few years now, Santa - 'Bout time!
dear larper,
put your prezzie in the post today, you better be a good little larper or it will turn into coal! or a loss of XP or something.

I was just wondering if people could please post their first and last names on their posts haha?
Because when we got sent our secret santa names, it wasnāt their diatribe names. And some people have the same first name
Good idea Che, iāve edited mine to add that in
Or if you donāt want to put your full name on the internet, maybe a first name and last initial. Or maybe even just your initials.
Dear Santa
I have been a very good crew member at the big larps this year, could I please have a chance to play in one?
But more realistically the sorts of things I would like this Christmas are:
Something to hold a sword on a belt.
Arcane looking props for magic using characters
Other such neat and interesting things to use as props
I know you will be able to find me something cool.
Thank you Santa

Dear Santa
Iāve been a good boy, cus I was allowed to go to Teonn.
What I would like for Christmas is to see a Teonn: Wellington campaign set up in the futureā¦
or even Teonn: Auckland, Teonn: Wellington, Teonn: Christchurch
or something similar
other than that, Iām all goodā¦
well I could really do with leather wine skin like prop
Thank you Santa

Just a reminder - that the Wish List Thread is for people who signed on to the Secret Santa thread in Nov. Sorry if you missed out this year! I try and start these in Nov to give people plenty of warning.
On that note - if you havenāt shipped/arranged to get your gift to your recipient, please do so sooner, rather than later, to ensure they get their gift by Christmas!
And if youāve received a gift, donāt forget to thank your Santa on the āthank youā thread so they know you received (and enjoyed it).
Thanks heaps,
Jackie
And also, if you have signed up, please post here. Its difficult to make/buy stuff for people who havenāt said what they want, and thereās a high danger of just getting chocolate if you do not express a preference.
Thereās nothing wrong with giving chocolate/wine or non-specific gifts. While itās nice to be able to give someone personalised gifts, thatās not really the point.
This is a nice, friendly, low-pressure chance to do something nice for someone in the community. If you can give them char-specific things, great! But otherwise, donāt sweat it. Give them thigns that 99% of larpers would need/use at a game, like cool LED candles, IC journals, blank books, writing implements, pouches, scroll-cases, real candles, small lanterns, feasting gear, a cool gobletā¦
