Dwight “The Elf” Schrute

One of TechLife’s loyal readers is my uncle on my dad’s side.  Every year he and my aunt have a holiday party at their home. I’m sure all the readers have the same party they probably attend.  You are instructed to bring a gift no more than $15 (your limit may vary), which you then likely put in a big pile and some game is played where you end up with a set of matching dog sweaters, and of course you don’t own a dog.

Of course the other option is “Secret Santa” a common office game, as overly dramatized on NBC’s Emmy Winner, “The Office”.   One thing the first few seconds of the episode highlight is the organization of “The Elf”, a key ingredient to running the best gift exchange.  Of course Dwight, as usual takes it over board, but hopefully you can learn from his blunders.  Read on, TechLifers the fun awaits, we are going transform you into TechElfs.  And ask you to join a TechLife experiment!

 
    

Year of the Elf   

You can either be subtle in life and hope people get your point, or you can be direct and tell people how bad things are and how you can help them change it.  Let’s just say, TechLife is not about subtle.  So there’s only one way to help all the holiday party planners, secret santa organizers, gift exchange technicians and so on in the world, tell them how to make it better.  Make this the Year of the Elf(ster). 

Elfster, may serve a niche, but it serves it well.  It provides a free, simple-to-use, online interface to set up your gift exchange, invite the participants and organize the swap of gifts.    It takes about 5 minutes to set up and is really easy.
TechLife Elf Experiment   

I’m sure more than one the smart TechLife readers is scratching their head wondering why we are covering gift exchanges in October.  The reasons are two fold.  First, if you are armed with this in October and November you can create gift exchanges all holiday season long from, the office party to the family party.  Second it gives me time to make sure my aunt and uncle can easily work this system.  (I am pretty sure they can, but best to confirm it.)  So our experiment is simple; want a present in November?  Sure you do!  Sign up by October 31, 2006 by sending an email to elfster [at] dkworldwide [dot] com or by commenting below that you are going to be an Experimental TechElf.  All you need to agree to do is get a gift for another elf on the list.  We will keep it simple.  On November 1st we will send out invitations to all those selected.  Space is limited, so first come, first gifted.
