So following on from the lone p Christmas present thread. I've been thinking about how in the last four years I haven't opened one surprise present. My parents send me money which I usually use on the dc 's.

So how about this. If you are in, you PM me with your name and address and if there are a few of us we divvy up the list and each of us spends £5 on a lp from the list and you get a pressie for £5 too.

What so you think?!

I have spare "girly " gifts that I have no one I can give to.I will happily do a surprise gift for a single mother in need of present pick me up. I don't need one back as I will be having plenty of people over this Christmas.

It won't be a scarf, LED finger lights or watch ring though

I don't mean to be awkward but how do we know what kind of stuff the person we're buying for is going to like? ;-) Maybe we should put down some no-nos like if someone has an aversion to chocolate or whatever...

I am allergic to anything with perfume or wool. I'm gluten intolerant and I don't really eat sugar so I'm the worst person to buy a Christmas gift for. I'd better not take part! ;-)
