1. Send me a PM with your full postal address, your favourite colour, a couple of things you like very much and a couple you dislike.

2. Be patient for a week or so to give everyone a chance to participate.

3. I'll sort everyone out and PM you with the name and address of your Santee.

4. Send them a small gift (anonymously!).

5. When gifts start to arrive, we'll start another thread about the results.

If you don't object, I'll try to match everone so that postage can be quite quick as time is rather short now. If the project is a success and we do it again we must start earlier!

dit gaat over een soort kerst-surprise aktie. als je mee wilt doen moet je een private message sturen met je :
1.volledige naam en adres, je favoriete kleur, een paar dingen die je erg leuk vindt en dingen die je beslist niet leuk vindt
2. even geduld hebben om iedereen de kans te geven om mee te doen
3.suedewsbury sorteert alles en je krijgt een PM met de gegevens voor wie jij iets moet doen.
4. je stuurt anoniem een klein geschenk
5.als je geschenken ontvangen zijn komt er een posting over de resultaten van deze aktie.

suesbury zal proberen ivm de korte tijd alles een beetje te combineren wat betreft afstanden e.d.

hoop dat je het nu wel begrijpt, groetjes gerry

Would love to participate, but leaving tomorrow for about 3-4 weeks and traveling! Do you have a timetable, ie, gifts should be sent by, for participation? I wouldn't want my Cutie partner to feel left out if everyone else had received their surprise package. I will be without Internet access off and on. *s

I love this idea - can you give us a bit more info - I have never done a Secret Santa - I don't know price range or what to give - will that be included with PM?

22 in now!
One or two people have asked about a price range - can I suggest a maximum of £5 (or equivalent). A low ceiling seems to make for creativity!

That sounds good to me. I will be very "creative" ;o)
by shirlener88 17 Nov 2010
Is that $5?
by asterixsew 17 Nov 2010
as of now it is 7.93980 USD to the UK pound
by spendlove 18 Nov 2010
Changing every day! Just use your common sense really.

Thank you! This really helps! I was wondering, I'm new to this.

I love the idea too, but I am also unsure of what is required. International postage gets a bit steep for anything too heavy or big, so would something that fits in an envelope be OK. And are both hand crafted or purchased items ok?

I guess it comes down to individual creativity, but are there any guidelines to follow?

Keep it small, inexpensive, unbreakable and unusual!

So no glaslamp from me for the secret santa ;-)
I think the favorites and dislikes will help...

Just to clarify - the Secret Santa method is not to pair people up. You won't exchange presents, but will send a present to one person and receive from another. If it wasn't like this it wouldn't be secret!

You will get the address of your Santee early next week, then post as soon as you can so that the gift can arrive in time for Christmas.
