Ok as time is running on i will run it this year :)
PM me your addresses,
THE CLOSING DATE WILL BE SUNDAY 30TH NOVEMBER AT 9PM !!!!
£5 gift limit with £3 allowed for postage.
Here is a brief explanation (thanks Deb :) )
organiser takes the names and addresses of all who want to join in and makes a list, then writes all the names out on pieces of paper and puts these in a hat, then they pull a name out of the hat and the person on the list buys a present for the person on the piece of paper carry on with this until all have someone to buy for (though there is now a computer programme to do it)
people get sent via email the name and address of the person they need to buy for and it is all secret they then post it to the recipient and everyone opens them on the same day, can then say who they sent to

-
Patience! Think we should give poor Flower a bit of time for sorting out the names and wait for her to tell us when the PM's are on the way! ;D And I would say no opening until Christmas Day- that's what I did last year. What does anyone else think?
-
oh gosh i think i might be a little busy on christmas day.
hubby and i dont even open our presents to each other on christmas day lol
lbb
-
My pressie is all wrapped and waiting ;D

G x
-
Are we putting our name on the pressie or revealing all here on boxing day?
G x
No Georgie.its called SECRET Santa.....you are not supposed to know who your pressie is from.
-
There are 26 taking part and my hubby took one name out for my swap and im not sitting trying to work out whom i got ;D
5.30am are you mad !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How about 10.30am ish ??? got to have time for a cuppa and a turkey sandwich ;D
-
Haven't had my PM yet, Dawn ??? :(
-
Go on then count me in, I wasn't going to bother but 108 PM's have changed my mind. ??? :-\ ;D ;D ;D
We are all so pleased that you have decided to join in Kev. Can't wait to hear what you've had. I do hope that whoever has got your addy has a good sense of humour eh! I did hope that I would have it cos I had got something really great lined up for you. Never mind maybe next year.lol
-
I did hope that I would have it cos I had got something really great lined up for you.
Corr!!! :o ;D
-
Have re sent the pm :)
-
Oooooooooooh Im so excited ;D
-
I was thinking the same Shirl, I hope I don't upset anybody with my present. :o :P ;D ;D ;D I've got an idea for part of it but am still thinking about the other four parts. ;D ;D ;D
-
I know you've bin to the poundshop for one thing and you gotta go back for 4 more ain't ya.
-
nuts she's sussed me, :o ;D anyway whats this present that I've got to wait for next year. ;D ;D ;D
-
Are we putting our name on the pressie or revealing all here on boxing day?
G x
No Georgie.its called SECRET Santa.....you are not supposed to know who your pressie is from.
Fine by me. It's just that last year we did reveal the names after everyone had opened their pressie - no idea why! ;D
G x
-
just out of curiosity and this might seem like a silly question but are we buying in duos so to speak, i.e. am I buying for someone and that same someone is buying for me or was the name picking a random chain - will be posting mine soon :o
-
i think at some point it would be nice to know who the present came from like last year
-
:-[ think Georgie asked if we should put our name on the prezzie we're sending? So the answer's NO! 8)
Calendula, dunno cos I didn't do it last year but I thought it was random?
-
i appreciate that but could we have a revealing ceremony at some point?
-
The answer to the silly question is no, because its SECRET SANTA, Georgie I want to keep my partner guessing all year thats why its called SECRET SANTA, did I mention its a secret. ??? ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
I've just ordered my pressie for my lucky (or unlucky lol) recipient! ;D
-
The answer to the silly question is no, because its SECRET SANTA, Georgie I want to keep my partner guessing all year thats why its called SECRET SANTA, did I mention its a secret. ??? ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
thank you for making me realise what a silly question it really was so now you can untwist your knickers in time to enjoy the secrets ;)
-
I've got no objection to people unmasking after Christmas :)
-
i dont think it was a stupid question cos its what we did last year.
-
LOL! I think it was me Kev was having a dig at, not you Calendula. ;D
I don't mind whether we reveal ourselves or not but please let's not have a row about it. 8)
G x
-
Georgie how can you say that ;) the only digging I do is on the lottie, Calendula how did know I was wearing knickers, well I'm not telling. :P ;D ;D ;D
-
i think at some point it would be nice to know who the present came from like last year
Your just a nosey little b****r ;) ;D
-
So am I ;D ;D 8)
Its a Secret Santa allright, but its nice to be able to say thank you at some point too. I think it all got revealed in postings at some point last year......which was actually really lovely ;D
x
-
I think its best to leave it to the individual wether to diclose who they sent a prezzie to. In my case I won't be telling and neither do I want to know who is sending me one. There again this is just my opinion.
-
Shirl ya noticed that Kev's talking bout knickers...you reckon he's giving a hint that he reeeel reeeely reeely would like some?
Pink satin praps?
I think the fun's in the guessing, but a list of the possibles would be good, come Boxing Day. Is that what happened last year?
-
I reckon that it makes a mockery of Secret Santa if your Secret Santa reveals him or herself to you.
However,if most reveal (and there is only 24) then the rest should guess quite easily.
So I will go with the flow if thats what folk want.
-
Ok it is completely ramdom !!!
If you want to un mask that is up to you but the idea is that it a secret and that is part of the fun ;D All i ask is you dont do it until after the 30th December so we have time to enjoy the fun.
I dont want to know who sent mine and hubby sure wont tell me ;D ;D
-
Calendula how did you know I was wearing knickers, well I'm not telling. :P ;D ;D ;D
;D
cos they are the ones you got in last year's secret santa - you told me how much you adored them but you can take them off now, time for a change ;D
-
Oh what a lark. this is such fun.
Just to let you all know though that I will be away during the christmas period with no one to take in parcels for me, so if you drew me please don't send till after January 3rd.If it will go through the letterbox it is no problem of course.
Ah, I shall miss all the fun on boxing day though.. the revealing!! (Sounds like the name of a rude movie)
I shall have access to a computet so shall be able to read all the fun.
XX Jeannine
PS. I have the name of my swap so my parcel will get out at the right time.
Pickfords have just left and my house sound all echoee ( is that a word) it will be very strange living in a half empty house for 3 months when we get back from sons in January.
PpS.... Marks and Sparks have knickers on sale this week!!
-

-
:) My secret santa pressie arrived Saturday, will post mine out tomorrow!!! me finks i recognised the handwriting of santa!!!!! lol x
-
Got home from work to find a card from the post office through the door.
They were unable to leave my "package" because I had to pay them first because the sender did not put enough postage on the "package"..£1.6p.
Well,as you can Imagine I immediately thought "marvelous,got to pay postage on my Secret santa parcel"!!
It turned out to be a Christmas Card sent to me from Leeds ;D
So whoever my Santa is....I deeply apologise for all the names I called you under my breath!
-
Had to collect mine from the Post Office today cos it came while I was out on Friday. Thankyou very much whoever my secret santa is.
-
mine's posted and mine's arrived ;D

its nice to receive it early but its sat there calling to me lol.
i know opening is on boxing day but i shall have to open mine after i get home from work about 4pm is that ok?
-
Im posting mine tomorrow............look out ;D
-
I think mine arrived on saturday, we were out so got it re-directed to the p.o, supposed to be there today but it wasn't there :-\
still, my friend runs the p.o and will ring when it gets there ;D
-
I suppose we are giving it away somewhat by telling when we've posted as it wouldn't take much to sleuth that 8) but I actually told porkies about when I posted mine just to keep the mystery going ;D
-
I posted mine today....or did I? ;D The post is so erratic that something posted today could arrive any time in the next week, so I don't think we're giving too much away!
-
Ooh you little minx Calendula ( an Ollie quote there ;)).
Had to modify coz Caroline beat me to it.....almost word for word ;D ;D ;D
-
Well mine has gone. 8)
-
POSTED YESTERDAY ;D

Hi thanks for letting me know that its on the way didn't receive it today but will give me something to look forward to after Christmas.
Thanks secret Santa thought you thought i had been too naughty :P
Lucy
-
Thanks to the person who had me as the recipient for the Secret Santa. They must know me because within the box was my favourite Sweetie Polo fruits, something for Twiggy, something for my wildbirds but what touched my soft heart was Murray Mints in the bottom of the box. They were my late Mothers favourite Sweet and I haven't looked at them since she died. Memories came flooding back of my Mum asking me to remember the Murray Mints. So a big thank you for the gift. Twiggy says thank you too.
;) ;)
-
Oops, smack my handys!!! didn't realise it wasn't to be open until 26th!!! but it was the only present I had to open this morning, honest folks....... Me and OH don't exchange gifts Christmas Day. Thanks again whoever it was.....

Im sorry but I just couldnt wait any longer....well it is Boxing Day.
Thankyou very much for my book Secret Santa whoever you are ;) ;D

Thank you to whoever my Secret Santa is.
I got a wooden storage box containing secateurs, gloves, a dibber, twine and plant markers. I'm always hunting around for twine and markers, and I desperetely needed new secateurs and gloves, so this is a great pressie. I can keep everything together too now in the handy storage box, so thank you again.
Jo. ;D
-
Thank you secret Santa for my indoor gardening kit - really useful mini secateurs . Thank you. ;D

And so, Mrs. Santa, merci beaucoup Cherie from Lishka :D

Thankyou for my prezzie. It was very thoughtful of you to remember about my aching back
-
Thank you Secret Santa - my toes are warm and cosy and my daughter has written all the important birthdays in the diary!

A big thank you to my secret santa, what a lovely, thoughtful gift :) I shall be making good use of it! :D
-
Thank You Santa for my book................I shall lay in the bath this afternoon and read up on everything I need to be planting in the spring! :-*
-
I adored my present - a wonderful garden diary/notepad - I make copious notes every year (you'd think I'd know it off by heart by now but it is always fun looking back and reading previous years notes) and I also got some hand scrub and moisturiser, with hands like a peasant I use loads of these as well
very insightful gifts, and lovely, thank you so much :-*
-
Sorry to be late with my thank you, my guests have now left so I'm catching up. I was a good girl and didn't open mine until Boxing Day. Thanks very much to whoever sent me the "I'm at the vegetable patch" sign. Now I can sneak out and hang it up behind me!

Random - thanks secret santa x

Yes Dawn thanks for taking the time to organise secret santa, :-* right back to the person who sent my rude pants and other goodies, by the hand writing I would say its a lady, a bird loving ladie who shops at wilkies has a sense of humour and probably likes little britain, I'll be back when I find out more. ??? :-\ ;D ;D ;D
-
I would have thought by now it was flippin' obvious, Kev. ;) Oh and btw there is no 'wilkies' in Enfield. ;D

OK OK who sent me the pants, :o :P I'm off to do a bit of Sherlocking and I'll be back. ;D ;D ;D :-*

who had a very demanding job
but try as he might
he couldn't keep his frilly knickers out of sight
and had to give in to the secret santa mob
Bring out the Corn, we want the full monty pics NOW ;D ;D ;D

Sorry for not replying soon but honestly, it has been a Christmas full of sickness! Not by me, fit as a flea me, but everyone else in the family, sick as can be with alsorts of grim bugs. :-X

Oh goodness, finally I have found this post.
I am very late in doing so as I had asked for my parcel to be sent out late as I was away.
It arrived this morning.
Thank you a million times and thank you yet again, the pressie is absolutely smashing. A beautiful basket of lovely Gardeners Rescue stuff, I have soap, hand wash,a bath bomb,bubble bath,shower gel and hand lotion, with a lovely wooden scrub brush and loofah for the really mucky days and to top it all there is also a pair of Gardner's gloves and some wee tools for my pot plants. I was overwhelmed to receive such a super parcel which couldn't have come at a better time as I had a particularly bad night and feeling very down. My spirits have soured since.
Thank you again, whoever you are,it is a lovely gift , much of it will travel with me back home when we leave at Easter as I have already got plans for the little basket when all the goodies are used up.
It is going to be a good day today!!
Love from Jeannine XX
