Secret Santa 2024 (under new management)

[Stigmorgan]

14 days to go guys

 

[Fitzroy]

What are the rules, spend limits and the like?

It was something I was concerned about the first year I took part. I’ve made something most years but one year purchased a small item instead as time was not on my side. I’ve received a real mix over the years from an old tools parcel to a set of hand made marking knives. I’ve come to accept it’s a real mixed bag and anything goes.

At the risk of repeating myself, Best thing I ever did. You will kick yourself.

 

[Stigmorgan]

Evening chaps and chapesses

 

[Stigmorgan]

Evening everyone, 10 more days until I match everyone up and we only have a handful of people, very disappointing

 

[Stigmorgan]

9 days left to join in guys.

 

[Stigmorgan]

Starting to wonder if people are actually seeing this thread we only have 10 participants at the minute

 

[Phil Pascoe]

I only had a couple more last year, iirc. It's a shame.

Yeah, I get it, people have busy lives or don't think they're good enough to join in, I recall the first year I joined in I was very nervous my present wouldn't be good enough, actually turned out it was greatly recieved and even had an unplanned personal meaning to the recipient and his wife.

 

[Stigmorgan]

8 more days

 

[Stigmorgan]

Not a terrible turnout but it would be great to have more, I know we've recently had quite a few new joiners to the site, if you are one of those and worry that you are too new or not skilled enough to join in please don't think that, this is a fun "event" and a great way to get to know other members. The Christmas day reveal of what everyone gets is the thing I look forward to the most, I am always amazed at the gifts I recieve and then doubly amazed to see what everyone gets so please join in and have some fun.

For you guys in the overseas draw I hope you are enjoying the process, I was at the postoffice today and their poster is recommending post to Canada and USA should be no later than 10th December to have a chance of arriving on time, may be good to post before that to avoid any customs delays.

67days left now guys and gals
