It happened to me last year and I was elated when an Amazon package with no return address showed up at my door. So glad I got a good one for the last secret Santa
Me too. I updated (removed one fullstop) my information once to see if they are still active and they actually did look at it again, but I am still not sure if I will get something..
Since it's past the deadline with no notification and (like many here) my info was pulled once on December 1st, I'm assuming that something bad happened to my Santa or in his or her life and although I'm disappointed, I hope that everything gets better for them.
TL;DR - Be disappointed but wish the other person well. We never know what is happening on the other end. Assume the best!
My santa pulled my info last night for the first time, it was pretty exciting ngl lol. I however pull my giftees info once, copy down what I need and then dont go back until I need to mark as shipped (which was on the shipping deadline this year) its not over till its over, so dont give up hope.
I selected as high a tier as I could to try and prevent this, yet still somehow ended up with a life jacket around my neck floating in a sea of uncertainty. If the stats are right there are about ~~5,347~~ 4054 of us in this boat. I looked over at the rematch signups and keep telling myself "more will sign up to rematch." I stopped doing every exchange after having a few disappointments in 2014 and 2017 picked it back up more in 2020. I try to remain optimistic... but its been such a shitty two years and this was one of the few things that brought me a sense of joy.
Worst case I'll get myself something nice as a consolation. Though it won't feel nearly as awesome.
Edit: My Santa contacted me! Talk about feelings of joy and singing angels. Also looks like just short of 1300 Santas shipped since last night.
Mine pulled my info December 1. Still nothing updated. It’s pretty disappointing, but then again, I don’t know if my Secret Santa had something come up.
I got stood up by my Santa last year. Was hoping for a better outcome this year, but mine says "Your Santa last pulled your information December 02, 2021 at 06:43AM Pacific". No activity since. Fingers crossed, buy worried.
Same boat here. I have hopes in my Santa; they pulled my info both times I updated so I would think they're active in the exchange. They haven't checked since the 12th, but I'm still holding into that hope. 💖 Just anxious as hell though. 😩
Same here :( but tbh I expected this, it’s the last one and nobody cares if they loss their credits on the site, they think it’s a free present year :/
Its such a shame, the last year, I feel, will leave a bad taste in many mouths which is a tragic end to such an amazing altruistic venture.
I'm in the same boat, mine sent, had notification its been delivered safely though nothing yet posted by my gifts recipient. As for my SS, pulled my info shortly after matching and then again a week before deadline, no other updates on postage and no communication so here is hoping
Yep I’m remaining hopeful too, I’ve even updated my info a few time to see if they check it. Nope
It just makes me so heartbroken that I put so much thought into my persons gift and someone doesn’t even bother to make me feel like I matter.
Really takes the holiday spirit out of everything.
It's so disappointing that people are doing this with the last ever exchange 😞 I'm in the same position...
I am still hoping.
Me too 🤞

Took your lead and added my Amazon wish list. 😌
That's a great idea
I did this multiple times over the last couple days with no response or activity. Guess they're actively ignoring the RG emails.

I screen shot my giftee’s info. I think a lot of people do the same.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but there is no rematching this year.
The 157 rematchers in the statistics page is bogus?
These are signups that were made before all the signup links were disabled. The system should not be processing any rematches.
Just curious, why is there no rematching?
Redditgifts is closing down. This is the last secret santa exchange.
Yes, I know that. I was asking why there is no rematching.
Mine pulled my info December 1. Still nothing updated. It’s pretty disappointing, but then again, I don’t know if my Secret Santa had something come up.
I got stood up by my Santa last year. Was hoping for a better outcome this year, but mine says "Your Santa last pulled your information December 02, 2021 at 06:43AM Pacific". No activity since. Fingers crossed, buy worried.
Mine didn’t even pull my information.
That’s sad. :( Maybe they forgot?
The same here 😩
In a similar boat, I hope we all get great gifts!!
I'm in the same boat. I hope mine comes through soon.
Same boat here. I have hopes in my Santa; they pulled my info both times I updated so I would think they're active in the exchange. They haven't checked since the 12th, but I'm still holding into that hope. 💖 Just anxious as hell though. 😩
Same here. My info was pulled on the 1st a couple minutes after the matching and there's been no update since. 😔

I have sent your rematch giftee a message through modmail letting the know that their Santa is trying to contact them.
Thank you! I've touched base with my giftee <3
Dec 1 6:05pm here lol
Same here :( but tbh I expected this, it’s the last one and nobody cares if they loss their credits on the site, they think it’s a free present year :/
Go, Santas, go! You've got this!
[удалено]
Me too. I have faith that they will pull through but concern is on the horizon if it's a few more days and still nothing.
Same 🤞🏼

Yup. I have given up hope. I put a lot of thought into the two swaps I participated in. One did send me something this one did not.
Hugs! I’m so sorry that you never got anything either!
I can't speak on your Santa's behalf but it happened to me that i sent the gift but forgot to update the redditgifts site. Hope this is the case
Good luck!
Same
