The Mumsnet Secret Santa - donations needed!

HO HO HO!

We hope you've seen the thread started by SantaSandyMumsnet about this year's Mumsnet Secret Santa, and if you're anything like us, you'll be full to the brim with festive good will and excitement about the whole thing

We've now closed the nominations page - a huge thank you to everyone who has got involved so far. At the moment we're about 50 donations short, so that's why we're asking everyone to put on their Christmas thinking caps, and see if there's anything they can contribute.

If you're not in the position to donate then do not worry at all - we quite understand that not everyone can. If you feel able to, you can make your donation here. Donations usually come in around the £10 mark, but anything above or below this is still very much welcome. Any gift big or small, second hand or new, is truly treasured - and will make a big difference to someone's Christmas.

Thank you again to everyone who has nominated and donated - we've got a feeling this is going to be one of the best years yet

Have you had more nominations this year then? Previously there's been a glut of donations, with some recipients getting four or five gifts.

whoops rong thread! )Sorry)

SplatTheScaryCat · 30/10/2014 16:06

so, so grateful to be nominated, thank you whoever it was :)

MNHQ - i tried registering the name you gave me to use to thank my donor later, but it says its already in use,

I love this . We're struggling a bit this year ourselves so I didn't even consider donating, but actually me and DP have just had a chat and a reshuffle of everything and have figured out that we can. I feel all lovely and Christmassy now, I need a mince pie and some mulled wine! (but I'll happily settle for my .)

Happily, I'm in a position to donate this year (huzzah!) so I've signed up

lucysmam · 30/10/2014 14:04

Hello

Do you need to know what we're donating or just that we'd like to? If the former, I'd best do some shopping

daisychain01 · 30/10/2014 14:04

OK I have just used the above link and added extra details.

daisychain01 · 30/10/2014 13:57

Like bimble said above I'm happy to give two separate gifts, vouchers seem to be a reasonable option as I can get these in our local town.

Just need to clarify whether I need to use the above link to add a second donation don't want to bugger up your numbers

sliceofkate · 30/10/2014 13:55

I'll donate! I've added my details. I can't believe I almost missed this! I've donated each year under various usernames since my own child was born so would've been gutted to miss out!

cozietoesie · 30/10/2014 13:33

Best put them down on the donation form, MNPinto. That way they can be entered straight into the spreadsheet.
