BoardGameGeek has already kicked off this year's Secret Santa program. Join the fun. Essentially, you agree to ship a game to a randomly selected person, and some randomly selected person ships a game to you. Receivers don't get to know who the givers are, unless they choose to tell.
Receivers are often, but not usually, from the same country to save on shipping expenses, but even if they aren't you can usually order online and ship from a local store closer to the receiver. Everyone is invited to set up a wish list of reasonably priced items to aid (but nit compel) the sender in choosing the gift that will be most likely to be well received.
