Welcome to SECRET SANTA

Rules

All players must sign up by 20th of December.
Gifts should be Lioden-related (e.g., items, lions, SB, GB, or décor) or general fun treats (like artwork or lore)
Respect the recipient’s wishes! If they provide a wish list or specific preferences, please try to honor them.
Keep your identity a secret until the exchange is over! Do not reveal who you are gifting to, and don’t ask your recipient to guess.
However, if you are unable to gift something, please reach out to the event organizer before the deadline.
All gifts must be sent by [insert date]. Late gifts may not be accepted, and participants will be paired with someone else next year.
Be kind and thoughtful! Secret Santa is meant to spread joy and good will within the community.
Don’t be upset if you don’t receive the perfect gift—everyone is trying their best!
All gifts must be exchanged before the deadline. If you have trouble gifting, inform the organizer early for a backup plan.
Once the gift has been received, there will be no refunds or exchanges.
Revealing your identity is optional, but it’s a fun way to share the joy once the event concludes!
After the Secret Santa reveal, feel free to thank your gift giver on the forum thread or via private message.
If someone is unable to gift or disappears from the event without warning, backup Santas will be called upon to ensure everyone gets their gifts.

How does this work?

players interested in participating will sign up via a forum thread
A sign-up deadline is set, after which no more participants will be accepted.
Once the sign-up period closes, participants should be encouraged to provide preferences or wish lists for their Secret Santa to make the gift-giving easier. This could include:
Favorite lions (e.g., specific mutations, colors, etc.)
Desired items (e.g., décor, GB, SB, breeding items)
Any interests (e.g., lore, art, specific types of lions)
This info will help their Secret Santa pick a gift that’s thoughtful and tailored to the recipient.
After the sign-up closes, the event organizer will randomly assign each participant a Secret Santa recipient. This can be done manually or using a random generator (e.g., Secret Santa generator sites).
Every participant will be given the name, number, and preferences (if provided) of the person they are gifting.
Participants should be thoughtful and avoid giving gifts that would be against the recipient’s preferences (for example, no unwanted lions or items).
If participants are unable to gift and item on the list, they should contact the owner of the thread
After the gift-giving deadline passes, the organizer will create a post for the reveal. Participants will then publicly thank their Secret Santa, and everyone can guess who their Santa was.
After the event, the organizer can request feedback from participants (e.g., did they enjoy the event, any improvements for next time?).
