Is there any way to ensure we aren't matched with someone under 18 if we heavily prefer only matching with other adults? I only have a dark content 18+ Twitter and it would feel weird if, for example, a minor is my gifter and they are given my account name and scroll through my profile and/or try to follow me. I'd like to participate but I don't want to have make a brand new account just to safely participate either >_<
Unfortunately, we are not requiring people give us their ages for this event. That being said, in the application form itself, you could let us know that you don't want your social media being shared. Your Gifter can still come to us to contact you anonymously if they have any questions!
😎 Schedule!
Applications: April 11th - May 14th
Sorting: May 14th- 28th
Gift making: May 28th - June 29th
Gift giving: June 30th
Hello! I'm very excited for this event!!! About the requests, can we ask for ships? Any ships? Even the... "controversial" ones? I'll keep all my requests SFW of course!
Thank you for your interest in our event!
The answer is, yes! All ships are welcome but we highly suggest making your third gift option something less controversial so we can assure you are able to find a gifter that can cater to your requests!

😎 Schedule!
😎 FAQ
😎 If you have any question about the event, don’t hesitate to contact us at [email protected] , send an ask on Tumblr (on anon or not), DM us on Tumblr or Twitter, or DM one of the mods on discord.
What’s Halfway to Gyftmas? This event is a group event where each participant, called a ‘Gifter’, gets randomly assigned another participant, called a 'recipient’, and has to make a gift for them. In our event, all participants must give 3 request ideas for their gifter to make, so if the gifter isn’t comfortable with a request, they can choose another one. We mods then sort out all the requests according to preferences and dislikes and match up all the gifters with all the recipients. Every participant is a gifter and a recipient at the same time, that is to say, every participant will make a gift for someone and will receive a gift from someone else.
Do I have to do all 3 requests? Of course not! You can if you want to and have the time, but only 1 is required. Having 3 different ideas lets you pick the one you’re most comfortable with.
I don’t like my recipient’s requests and I want to change and have a different recipient! Unfortunately that will not be possible. Once you get your assignment we won’t be able to change it. If you wish to drop out of the event, please let us know as soon as possible so we can assign a back-up. We will also let your own gifter know you chose to step down, and they will be the one to decide if they wish to finish your gift or not. I have a question about my recipient’s request/s but I can’t ask or they’ll know I’m their gifter! What do I do? We strongly encourage Tumblr users to have their ask box open with anon asks allowed at least for the duration of the event, though this is of course not mandatory. In case your recipient’s ask box isn’t open/doesn’t allow anon asks or for Twitter only users, please redirect your question/s to us mods (DM us on discord or send us an email at [email protected]). We will pass the question/s to your recipient and will let you know about their reply.
My Secret Santa made me a craft and I love it!! Can I have it shipped to me? That is a question between you and your gifter (or your recipient in case you’re the one who made the craft). Feel free to discuss shipping fees and private info like address and full name between yourselves. We mods wish to stay out of such a private conversation.
Are OCs Allowed? Yes they are, as long as they belong to you. Any AU is also fine as long as the creator has given permission to make content for that AU.
Are we allowed to ask for a gift from a different fandom? Unfortunately, this event aims to revolve around Toby Fox’s hit games Undertale and Deltarune only, and we do not currently allow requests for other fandoms as it would make sorting out requests too complicated. We ask that all participants consider this before writing down their requests in their application form. OCs and sonas are however allowed, especially if they are Undertale inspired! Please keep in mind that your gifter will most likely be familiar with Undertale and not necessarily other fandoms.
What is the age requirement to participate in this event? We have decided to make this event available for those that are 16+!
Can we write/draw NSFW? For this event, we have chosen to keep it 100% SFW.
Is there a certain word requirement in writing gifts? Nope! This entire event is just based on your preferences.
😎 RULES
😎 Be respectful. No abusive behavior, harrassment, racist remarks, kink-shaming, ship-shaming, misgendering on purpose, fighting over canon interpretations, bullying of any kind will be tolerated. This is a happy event meant to bring the UT community together, not a playground to fight over beliefs. If you have a major problem with a participant over one or more of these issues, please DM a mod.
😎 Don’t start drama. If you have any kind of problem, be sure to DM a mod right away instead of starting an argument. This goes for personal beef with another participant, getting heated up about controversial opinions or headcanons, publicly calling out someone’s behavior, etc.
😎 Communication is key to a great event. If you have any kind of problem related to the event, please don’t hesitate to send us an ask here, on or off anon, or to DM this blog. We will do our best to reply and find a good solution as fast as we can. This goes for if you need more time to work on your gift and need an extension, if you have a major problem with your recipient’s request/s, if there is a conflict between you and another participant. 😎 No spoiling the fun. Please don’t post your recipient’s gift/s before June 30th (your timezone) on the Halfway to Gyftmas discord server or any other social media site. Keep your recipient’s name and request/s a secret until that date. If you need to ask your recipient questions about their request/s and preferences, you can either do it on anon on tumblr, or ask a mod to contact your recipient for you. Writers are allowed to have their fic/s be looked over by a beta reader, as long as the beta reader is not their recipient and they won’t share the fic on the server or any other social media site.
😎 Be mindful of your recipient’s request/s and their dislikes/triggers. This is a happy event, and the last thing we want is for a participant to be triggered by their gift, so be extra careful when making their gift/s. Once again, if you’re unsure of something, don’t hesitate to ask them in anon on tumblr, or to ask us mods to contact your recipient for you. Better safe than sorry.
Halfway to Gyftmas 2022:
😎 The Halfway to Gyftmas 2022 event is a Secret Santa event, in which a participant is matched up with another participant to make them a gift. We call them a gifter and a recipient, where the gifter makes a gift for their recipient. Each participant will be someone’s gifter and someone’s recipient at the same time, meaning that you will receive a gift from your gifter and make a gift for your recipient. You will not know who your gifter is (thus making them a Secret Santa), but you will know who your recipient is and what they’d like as a gift. Make sure to keep your identity a secret from your recipient, so as not to spoil the surprise!!
😎 As a gifter, you will receive your assignment with your recipient’s name, social media account, pronouns and requests, as well as their dislikes/triggers if they have any so you can avoid them. There will be at least 3 different requests so if you’re not comfortable with one, you can choose another. Only 1 request is required, but you can make more if you want to and have the time.
😎 This event is strictly 16+. The Discord age requirement is thirteen and over, however we the hosts find ourselves to be more comfortable with our decided age requirement. Thank you for respecting our wishes.
😎 If you have any question about the event, don’t hesitate to check out the FAQ, send us an ask (on or off anon), or send us an email at [email protected] !
Make sure to read our RULES before signing up to the event.
