🎄 Secret Santa Gift Preparation Guide 🎁

- Think of items that would bring a smile to your face, and fill the shulker with those. Remember, it's the thought and effort that count!
- Rename the shulker with the in-game name (IGN) of your Secret Santa match, the one you received in your in-game mail.
- Bring your prepared gift to the Christmas tree near
/vipat Spawn. There, you'll find a hopper waiting to transport your present. Make sure to do this by the 20th of December.
