I might be able to organize one for Canada for our lemmy.ca, piefed.ca and sh.itjust.works (and other Fediverse server users who live in Canada) peeps…
I’m not sure who would be comfortable with sharing the address attached to their real name or username on here? I move around too much to be able to organize collecting everything in a PO box and sending it to people, it would rely more on giving random people another user’s address and people directly shipping to each other…
There is a German one on feddit.org every year. It’s a small community though. !wichtel_unter@feddit.org
Years ago Reddit had a sister site called Reddit secret Santa where Redditors could sign up to be matched with other Redditors as an online global secret Santa and you could write down your interests, likes/dislikes, hobbies, fav shows, movies, food etc.
It was pretty neat, I ended up with a lot of foreign nic-nacks and snacks because I would sign up for worldwide all the time

This is a silly take but I’ve seen (internet) trends come and go, I miss some moments but know there is something else that will pop up to fill the space. There always is.
Yea, it just sticks out for me because it didn’t die because of disinterest as a fading fad, it got shutdown because of corporate enshittification >:(
I signed up for the Reddit secret Santa once like a decade ago. Spent a bunch of time researching what to get, and made a really thoughtful gift bag of candy and toys from Western Canada based on what my recipient told me he liked.
The person who got me as their recipient sent me a $5 Amazon comic book for a video game I’ve never played. It looked and felt like the grocery store fliers you get in the mail.
Oh and whoever I sent my gift to claimed he never received it.
