Secret Santa 2024 (under new management)

[Fitzroy]

Keep to selves, with return addresses on parcels it can be easy to know. I think the anonymity of it gives people the confidence to have a go knowing every gift they make or buy will be well received.

I haven't seen any guesswork or speculation on who might've made/sent which gifts.... Does that normally happen? Being a newb, I am at a disadvantage on what kinds of objects each member normally makes (Apart from Blackswanwood and his amazing, beautiful boxes and maybe one or two others who turn christmas decor!) or what styles they make them in.

I'm looking forward to any insights that the guessing would bring.

We don't reveal ourselves usually, this year I posted the start of what I was making for SWMBO but then halfway through had a design change that would spoil SS if I revealed it so said that if my recipient knew I was their SS I would show the gift for SWMBO.
Nobody else needs to reveal themselves.
@SVB yup guilty as charged, to answer a question you had, the brassware is left from the box original use as a set of scales, thought it would be nice to retain some of it. May be worth keeping an eye on the birds as it appears some have dropped, the beaks should form a straight line to the eye.

Now I'll go post some pics of SWMBO gift.

I wouldn't have a clue who my Santa is.
This is my first Secret Santa on the forum but I can see it becoming a regular thing now.

Everyone is welcome, I've already marked my calendar for September to get the post up and running and start getting people interested

Apologies for the delay.

Thank you very much for my Secret Santa for these lovely set of measuring cups with beautifully turned Sapele /Mahogany handles. They feel super smooth to touch.
