Olly Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I thought the point is that it's Secret! When I do this with my friends at New Year, we never let on who's bought what. Usually you can guess a few of them, but it really should stay secret. I'm not going to give away my identity, I'm worried that my offering may be a bit disappointing compared to the stuff produced by others on here!

I hope "Ooops, word censored!"ody would be disappointed with a handmade gift, the standard is completely unimportant, it is a token of friendship and I know I will be delighted with whatever comes my way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will definitely be putting my postal address on the package, I'd hate it to get lost in transit. I think this is a great idea, I'm ewxcited Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I'll only put my address and one of my many aliases on the package (because I take payments for a charity through my PayPal account everything I buy on Ebay gets delivered with their name on!) BUT - I was explaining it to James and I think he wants to add a gift himself so it may be rather easy to guess! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperwife Posted December 9, 2008 Author Share Posted December 9, 2008 ooooh, isnt this exciting well, we called it secret santa, but if you want to say who its from, then do I doubt that anyone wont be happy with their gift - we all know that time and effort has been spent on the gift. try and remember to wrap it nicely - but just incase, could we all leave it in the envelope until Christmas Morning. NO ONE CAN OPEN THEIR PREZZIE UNTIL CHRISTMAS MORNING !!!! (but I will accept 12pm midnight , if you really cant wait ) thank you for the deadline for posting Olly 15th December!!, it must be there (no pressure like ) Happy santa'ing cathy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 NO ONE CAN OPEN THEIR PREZZIE UNTIL CHRISTMAS MORNING !!!! I CAN'T open my Christmas morning - I'm flying to Florida on 21st and it's not on to take stuff through customs that you havn't packed yoruself - also there are so many restrictions on what you can and can't take into the country.... So should I open it on morning of 21st and keep it to myself until 25th OR Should I leave it for the 2nd when I get back and be in suspense.....

craftyhunnypie Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Just wondering if any Santas have included foodie items, make sure they will still be ok for Xmas & won't spoil! I wonder if my parcel arrived in Lapland? Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oniondog Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I have something the post office sent me saying the last dates for Christmas are: 2nd class - 18th December 1st class - 20th December And I might be relying on that...! At the moment, the present I am MOST excited about receiving this Christmas is my Secret Santa from here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chook n Boo Mum Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Mine's in the post, winging it's merry way to some unsuspecting recipient!

craftyhunnypie Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Mine arrived this morning & I'm sooo excited about Xmas day! As I don't really have any friends, it makes this Secret Santa prezzie extra special & makes me feel special too. Does that sound daft? I stay up until midnight Xmas eve, just so I can open one prezzie then go sleep. It might just have to be the secret santa one!

Snowy Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 It is exciting isn't it? It's the unknown element! I'd far rather have a small surprise present than anything wildly expensive or expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 We could have Omlet party in July and change our avatars to summery theme for the month - chickens in bikinis and do summer craft present exchange. Have a virtual omlet holiday away together somewhere exotic in Omlet holiday island land. Who are those nice men in white who've come to take me away.
