Hi to all

I was just on the TM chat boards and they have got a secret santa thing happening. All the people who are interested email their home address to one person who then pairs them up with someone and emails back everyone who they will be paired up with.....

The gift is no more then $10.

Is anyone here interested in doing this? I will be happy to receive all emails and pair everybody up since i stay at home and do jack during the day.

If there is enough poeple wanting to do this then i will post my email address tonight when i get back from the parent and child show.

Remember this is just an idea i thought might be fun but if no-one is interested thats cool

count me in. we are doing secret santa with the family this year too! makes everything a lot cheaper and you don't get the really crappy presents cause people couldn't afford to buy much.

I'd like to as well. Maybe we should make it for the mummy's as the kids always get pressies lol..

Do we really need to PM you our addresses though, can't we just give them to the person we are swapping with when we're paired up? yes, I think you could be a creepy person

j/k

Do you get paired up or random - so instead of pairs eg me and Lu swapping, I would buy for Lu, Lu buys for Liz... So then its a secret - as in secret santa? I may be wrong, just wondering...

Oh and for the mummies sounds like a great idea!

If we send say Deez (if your still happy to organise it) our address she could just randomly select who buys for who and PM us the address for who we are buying for.
Im happy to PM my address as long as its only a couple of people who will get it eg Deez and the person buying for me. And yep i agree, buy for the mummys or mummy to be

I thought i would do it how my2angels has explained it....and i will only forward your address on to the person who will be your secret santa....and i swear im not a creep person lol....I won't pair anybody up it would just be a random choice....

I think it should be a present of mummy's or mummy's to be. So all those that are interested in doing this can start PMing me their details with either "mummy" or "mummy to be" by Monday 30th October, and then i can get back to you no later than 1st Novemeber so it gives us plently of time to mail our pressie around....Sound good???

ok - me too please...

on another forum i am in the person in charge sent a standard question form of things like, fave colour, any allergies, things you dont like like scents for eg, do you prefer baths or showers? little things to help give the giver some help and that was then forwarded to them also... just a suggestion..

should we set a date it has to be done by, just so no one misses out etc... maybe a date you have to have your name on the list by and then a date it has to be sent by and if we let Deez know when we have sent it so she can chase any slackers? just an idea

Posted By: Deez
Date Posted: 28 October 2006 at 11:03pm

Oh ok, i will think of some questions to help you all out when choosing your gift and PM it to everyone that has given me their details.

OK so the cut off date to have your name and details to take part in the SS is Monday 30th October and then i will give an extra couple of days for you to reply to the questions i send...So lets say they have to back by Wednesday 1st November....and by Saturday 4th November everyone should know who they are buying for and a little about their likes and dislikes.....
