Our beloved AO tradition celebrating friendship and giving in the spirit of Dobby the elf is back! Gifts for this version of Secret Santa are all accessible via AO, and gifts are shared at the start of January so there's enough time to prepare.

Everyone who signs up will be given the name of another member, and will have about a month to create a gift. You'll (secretly!) submit your gift to Dobby who will deliver it for you when all of the gifts are in.

How to Participate

• Post in this thread to sign up!
• Please sign up by December 9th
• When sign-ups end, you will receive a PM with your Dobby Swap
• Keep your swap a secret!
• Send your present to the Dobby Swap account by January 4th
• The Dobby Swap team will deliver the gifts when we have received all of them!
• Once you receive yours, you are free to share your gifts in this thread!

Gift Ideas

Pick one of these or do your own thing!

• Drawing of a character
• Avatar and/or signature images
• Photo manips or collages
• Fashion sets
• Poems, songs, or stories about a member's characters
• Playlists/mixtapes
• Tumblr blogs
• Your other clever ideas!

Reminders

Remember that gifts should not cost anything and should be something Dobby can deliver by PM!

If your Dobby Swap has a lot of characters, you can always choose to focus on just one or two. (But feel free to include all of them if you would like!) Have fun with it!

If you have questions about signing up, need help with your gift, or if something comes up before the deadline, feel free to reach out to the Curators.

Been away from AO for awhile? That's okay! Sign up, or pop in and say hello!

All Dobby Swap sign-ups have been sent via PM to the accounts that responded to this thread! Happy gifting! Please let Dobby know of any errors, or if you need any help brainstorming! (Feel free to poke Elle on Discord as well even if she is wearing an invisibility cloak - she'll get back to you as soon as possible!)

When the gift is complete, just send it to Dobby via PM.

And remember, keep it secret!

Just a reminder that we are about halfway through the Dobby Swap! December is flying by. Dobby will be enjoying the holiday and hopes that everyone has a wonderful rest of their December as well!

Happy 2021! Thank you to everyone who has sent in their gifts so far! This is just a gentle reminder that the Dobby Swap gifts are due on Monday, January 4th. Please feel free to let Dobby know if you're having any trouble!

Dobby has just sent out all of the gifts! Check your personal messages! Please feel free to share/post the gift in this thread. Dobby saw many amazing gifts, though none of them were socks...

Happy Dobby Swap, everyone! <3

Angel! Thank you so much! It's cool to see how Fig's 'grown up' (and spotlighting my middle school 90s teenboy crush )
