There are several "Secret Santa" actions on different subreddits every year. Why not make a Secret Santa action on this subreddit too?

To keep it secret I imagine it working out like so:

Everyone sends an item to a trusted middleman with a certain value, I'd say 3-4 keys so Dom GTs, Breakout Type-S', nice painted uncommons, painted rares, painted exotics and possibly BM decals. In the end the middleman decides if the item meets the criteria or not. Multiple items are not allowed except maybe full collections of painted toppers.

When handing over the item to the middleman the middleman notes your Steam account so you are eligible for receiving a gift on Christmas.

Then around Christmas the middleman will draw numbers, one for the item, one for the person and then hands out the item.

So what do you guys think? Any suggestions or any mod who volunteers to be the middleman is welcome!

*And please keep in mind, this shouldn't be about the chance of making a profit, it should be about being generous, about gifting and receiving, about Christmas!

*/u/farhanhm came up with another idea, what do you guys think, is this better?

I don't think it should be like everyone gives items to middleman and he does a raffle, that would be just be like a giveaway or like gambling. I think it should be like everyone gives a survey of items they have and what they want and the creator of the survey notes down everything.

3 weeks before Christmas secret santas are appointed and are suppose to get their gift in before 15 DEC. Using the survey answers , others can find what you desire!

This would prevent people from thinking this is gambling and most people won't get what they wanted.

With this we can also have different levels of secret Santa.

Low-end for people who only give or want coloured toppers or even coloured wheels (you may include normal crate items)

Mid-End; this ranges from items worth 5-10 keys

High-End; this ranges from items worth 15 keys
