Seems I am doing it again,
For anyone who hasn't seen it before, or those with very bad memories, I'll refresh the rules.
Secret Santa is a bit of fun for Christmas that most people who join in seem to enjoy.
You send your name, address, likes and dislikes in a message to me (via that little grey envelope up there ^ ^ ) then at the beginning of December I will jumble them all together and send you each the details of one other member.
You then use the information given to buy or make them a Christmas gift to the value of £5. (unless the majority feel it should be a little higher now, due to inflation, but that can be discussed as we go along)
I'll tell you your victim recipient at the beginning of December and that should give you all time to prepare it for posting shall we say around the 15th, to allow plenty of time to arrive at it's destination and to be put under the tree, (or hidden by partners for those amongst you who can't resist a little sticky beaking!! You know who you are!!)
I think that's all, but if not I'm sure someone will remind me.

Admits to panicking a tad........it's not going like I want it too.....it's fighting back....
I will not be defeated by a SS pressie....

Well, a fortnight ago I ordered all my wrapping paper, tags, ribbons etc, and guess what, I'm still waiting for it!
I have the pressie, I have a box.
Might have to actually brave a real life shop.

I'm really pleased to be taking part in my first Secret Santa; hope my recipient likes what I've bought! If someone had bought it for me I would be pleased, LOL

Well, we could all message CG when we send our parcels, then post on here when we receive our packages so that our secret santa knows that the parcel has arrived safely

aaww fluffy - i'm sure you were my 1st secret santa and your taste in gifts was perfect !
this is my 5th secret santa here, and i believe only 1 of my secret santa senders has joined in this year, and...
none of my secret santa receivers have joined in 😞
maybe my gifts are less desirable than nipple tassles !!!

I received mine yesterday.
Thank you very much to my secret santa.
It was tightly wrapped in bubble wrap, and I am expecting a number of parcels so unfortunately, I opened it, as I had no idea what it was.
A lovely addition to one of my collections.

perhaps we should write secret santa on the outside so they don't get opened by accident.

That's a good idea ed!!
Or you could just read post 74!!
"You will then chose a gift for them, it can be bought or it can be made by you, to the value of about £5.00. You wrap it all nicely but on the tag you only write something like From your FHG Secret Santa. X X X. Include the FHG because some people have SS gifts from other places. Don't put your ID or proper name on the tag or the outside of the parcel or it will give the game away."
