Secret Santa 2017?

[morfa]

Is there any interest in a Secret Santa this year? I can't see any posts about anyone else taking it on again. I'd be totally happy if someone else does want to do that btw. But if there's interest, I'd be happy to run it again.

The forums do seem quieter than they were, but there might still be enough interested folk maybe?

Ok, so to confirm details we'll work to this schedule:

All entries by 3rd of Nov.
I'll do the draw as soon as I can to the 3rd.
All parcels to be posted by 8th of Dec at the latest.

If you're going to be later than the 8th, that is ok, as long as you tell me!

When you've posted your parcel, please PM me.

I will send everyone involved PMs once the draw is done with further instructions.

If you do have to drop out, that's not a problem, but please let me know.

I should be good for this year - there's a reasonable chance of my not being in hospital.

Count me in again for this year, I really enjoyed the not knowing what In my pressie untill I opened it on Christmas morning.

I would like to be involved but I don't really know how it works please explain.

Easy - you make or buy a gift for another participant whose name is drawn for you. Theere is no min. or max. value, the only real stipulation is that you give something you would be pleased to receive. Once you know the name you can look through old posts to see where that person's interests lie - e. g. there's no point in giving a turning tool to someone who doesn't have a lathe. Search for previous year's SSs - there's loads of pictures. (the one's that aren't Photophucket)

Christmas talk?

It's October 10th!!!

It needs to be done and dusted by the beginning of Dec. - so not long, if you're making stuff, and you wish to research the person you're making it for.

 

[marcros]

i would say earlier than that if possible. I think that we normally aim to get it in the post by about 15th dec, so the sooner the better to allow for a bit of research, buying an item or components and making it.

I am in.

 

[Phil Pascoe]

That's what I meant - the stuff needs to be packed and gone the beginning of Dec.

Ok, sounds like plenty of people want it to happen this year. I'll start making a list then.

I'll look at the dates and confirm ASAP. But roughly, I'll keep the list open till the end of October. Then we'll aim to post in the first week of December.

If you don't want to make stuff, but still want to join in, that's fine. It's ok to buy a present instead of making one.
