What......NO....Not posting already :evil: . My present is at least 3 months away from completion. Phase 1 is well on its way. Phase 2 gets started this weekend.

I received a quite substantial box today with 'secret santa' printed on the box with black marker, the box is now heading under the tree ready for opening on xmas day.

Thank you whoever you are

It also serves as a timely reminder to get off my butt and make something for my recipient - or I might purchase something, I can't think of anything that would be useful that I could make..

Will have to post mine sometime soon, it's all done and dusted...should it have a big Christmas bow on it though? :-k - Rob

Are we all going to post the pics of our pressies on xmas day? I'm going to post my present as close to xmas as possible. It's got nothing at all to do with not having it done til the last minute...

 

[Mr Ed]

The best bit about the Secret Santa on Woodnet was the thread with pictures posted of all the gifts received. I view this part as almost compulsory!

Cheers, Ed

Say fella's when we post our gifts to one another are we supposed to write our names on them, or is it a secret?

That could add an interesting spin, trying to guess who sent your gift

 

[Waka]

I thought it was supposed to be a secret.

I was about to send mine off last week, dropped it in the workshop and it ended up in a few pieces, now I've got to start again.

Waka - make sure you get the measurements right :lol: - Rob

I don't think the sender remains a secret after the gift has been opened??

 

[Karl]

I thought the "Secret" was only supposed to be secret until you opened it. I was planning on putting an explanatory Yuletide letter in with mine, explaining my gift(s).

If it is truly secret, I might just send a 6" ruler....... :lol:

Cheers

Karl

Posting mine out today, in the hope that the receiver won't open till the 25th.

 

[Mr Ed]

Just to clarify, as there appears to be some confusion;

My opinion is that its OK to reveal yourself (so to speak!) by including a note with the gift. The secret bit is that prior to receiving the gift you don't know who its coming from, but after you've opened it there's no need to remain incognito. You can if you want, but quite a few people wanted to send a note with the gift, so go for it.

Hopefully everyone agrees with this, I don't think its worth polling on so I suggest we work on that basis unless there are any violent objections.

As it happens my gift will be a dead giveaway anyway, but I'm saying no more than that.

Cheers, Ed

 

[Paul Chapman]

Hopefully everyone agrees with this

I'm happy with that, Ed - that's how I had always assumed it would work.

Cheers :wink:

[Karl]

Me too.

I agree, it would be nice to put a note with the gift.

My gift is coming along nicely. Hope to glue up this weekend. One or two technical problems to overcome first.

All very exciting.

Cheers, Tony.

mine too :lol:

I'm just as excited to see what everyone else got as I am about receiving my gift.

Me Too. There's such a lot of ability and ingenuity amongst the forum members I expect a crop of highly impressive items.

Cheers, Ed

There's at least one story behind my gift
