The only requirement for having a Secret Santa is for someone to volunteer to run it.
2011, I ran one. 2012, I thought I'd participate but no one ended up volunteering to run it. Last year, I just ran it again. (And fulfilled my desire to participate by secretly put together a gift for Jac, who was running an exchange on the MSPA Forums.)
Those exchanges were art, writing, and other things that can be handled through forum PMs, with some people voluntarily sending things along in the mail. Last year, I also offered to fill writing requests for anyone whose Secret Santa didn't put anything together by the end of January.
I do remember one year, pre-Eagle Time, when some of us put together a two-part Secret Santa where one side was packages and one side was art/writing/etc. If there's interest, we could do that again. I'd be up for running the electronic side again (though I'd step aside if someone else was interested) and participating in the actual mail side.

There's no reason for this | Or this | Death is inevitable | You can't challenge fate | The smallest change | I'm overwhelmed
I'm serious | It makes perfect sense | Easy as ABC! | I can't even explain it | Cleaning up someone else's mess
I suck | I rule | I've got it made | Really, I'm serious | This bugs me | It's all lies | I want to believe | Beauty is a curse
