IT’S THAT TIME OF THE YEAR AGAIN: TMR SECRET SANTA 2025!!
Welcome, participants old and new, to TMR Secret Santa 2025!
Somehow, it is now our 8th tmrss, which is a bit mind-boggling, really. Last year's event was as filled with lovely new tmr content as ever, and we're looking forward to another year of new and wonderful creations!🥳
You may be familiar with Secret Santas and how they work but, just in case, here is what will be happening:
Sign up for the Secret Santa by filling out our sign-up form. The information you give us in your sign-up form will be the deciding factor in the gift you’re going to create and the gift you’re going to receive, so please make sure you read and fill it in carefully! Please note this event is 16+.
You will then be matched with a giftee, for whom you will create your gift, according to their own Secret Santa wishes :))
Once you have finished making your gift, you will submit it to us via email or, if necessary, via a file sharing platform. More detailed information about submissions will be provided later :) It is very important that you submit your gifts by the 1st December. Christmas is a busy time for us all, and the tmrss elves need enough time to set everything up to begin the Grand Gift Posting on Christmas Day 🎁🥳
We will post all the gifts on this blog during the week running between Christmas Day (25th Dec) and New Year’s Eve (31st Dec), for everyone to enjoy. Please celebrate the gifts by reblogging etc., but remember to keep quiet about what you made, as the secrecy is part of the fun! 🕵️
The big Secret Santa reveal will take place on 12th Jan, when we will post all the Santas and tell you who created which gift.
After that, you’re free to post the gift you created anywhere else (your own tumblr etc.).

Now, we all love a good deadline, so here is the timeline for the Secret Santa:
16th September - Signups are now open!
30th September - Signups close
13th October - Secret Santa assignments sent out
1st December - Gifts due in
25th December - Gifts start being posted on our blog
12th January - the Big Secret Santa Reveal!
——————————————————————————————
We’re so excited for our eighth tmrss! We’d love to see the fandom come together again to share creativity and chaos (let's be honest) during the festive period 🎄 🎁
So please sign up, share, reblog, tell your friends – however you can, please spread the word! Let’s show tmr some love!
If you want to be a part of the exchange, but are unsure whether you’ll be able to commit, then there are options to become a Pinch Hitter: someone who makes a gift, possibly at short notice, if a santa drops out or is unable to complete their gift. More details about this can be found here.
You can find more details, as well as the rules and guidelines, in the top bar on our main blog page, and make sure to follow us so you can keep up to date with all the latest news and announcements.
Feel free to contact us if you have any questions! 🧝♀️🎄
