Official Secret Santa 2011

[Chinnyluver]

This sounds soo fun! Just one question and this might sound really bad so tell me if it is. I'd the love to participate but I'm only fifteen and honestly on a really tight budget but I have a lot of extra fleece from when I made the girls hammocks and plushies plus some other great stuff that I won't say right now. If we make something does that count? Everything I made the girls absolutly love!! Hammocks look proffessional (hidden seems, perfectly safe). It'd be made with love <3

 

[Chinnyluver]

I'm in!

November is right around the corner, I know I'm super excited for this gift exchange (and having a great time thinking up holiday products)!

You had to send your request/wishlist when you signed up and that is given to the person that has your name. I copied this from the 1st post. Hope this helps )

What I need when you sign up:
Name:
Address:
Gift request: (Remember nothing too expensive!)
If you want gifts for chins, hedgies, another pet or yourself:
3 clues about yourself that will be given to your recipient to try and guess who their Santa is:

Remember to send this information to me through private message.

How many sign ups do we have Stack?

 

[ErinsChins]

Stackie, just wanted to make sure you got my sign up.

 

[Pikaia]

Amy- I did see that in a previous year there was a thread for gift requests. I don't know if they will do it again.

I am wondering if you got my sign up too, Stackie. Maybe you could post the current names you have before the deadline?

 

[Stackie]

I was wanting to wait until the end to post the list but here is what I have so far. If you PMed me but do not see your name on the list please send me another PM.

OMG is this more than last year???

 

[partygirlha]

I'm getting excited

I was thinking about this whole return address thing. I may buy multiple things from different vendors but more so I want to put the gift together myself. What's the easiest way to go about putting a return address? I was thinking of using someone else's address who I trust but lives in another state...thoughts? How did people do it last year?

Use a friend or a family member's address...
Or just delete your location for now on here if no one knows you too well on the boards.

 

[Stackie]

Good advice, Therese. )

I have half of the recipients sent out. The other half will get sent out later today. I understand you are all excited, but keep in mind I am a full time student and working full time as well, so I have limited time in the day. Thanks for understanding!

 

[Crys12065]

Thank you for all your hard work Stacie! Having organized similar activities on other boards I know how time consuming it can be~

I totally understand being a full time student who was also working full time until recently. I can't beleive you have time to organize this as well... TAHNK YOU
