Reason I am getting the ball rolling early this year is I want all the presents to be sent by 1 December this year. So I can have all the info collated and sent out on the 1st of November giving us all 1 month to get presents sent and also if there are "issues" with the post it can be sorted early. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

I will probably be in but am unsure of how this works. can someone just write on here what happens.
I guess we PM you our details and then must get paired up with 1 (is it 1 or is it more) other mum. And then we buy a present for them right (or make one i guess). Is there a cost limit of the gift? and then do we send the gift straight to our buddy by the 1st november? Sorry, i sound really dumb but i wouldn't want to do the wrong thing as i have never been involved in a secret santa before. -------------  http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

Gonnabeamum, last year we sent our details out to the organiser who randomly matched someone to you and sent their details on to you. You buy/make a pressie up to the value of $10 (I think from memory) and send it on yourself to your match. Not sure what date it has to be there by, I think Nov 1 was the date you have to have sent your details to Becks by.

Once I have all the names and details in I will match first week of November. You will have that month to make/buy/create a present for your match. It meeds to be sent by the beginning of December so we miss the xmas post. There are quite a few people in this year, haven't quite collated all the info yet yo say how many are in. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |
