Has anyone had there match for Christmas appeal yet?

[littlemoon14]

Has anyone had there match for Christmas appeal yet? I thought it was yesterday we heard by but not heard nothing yet.

Awaits email from MNSandy Santa as to what I am meant to be donating.

Also agree with pie I don't want to offend by just sending a gift to the mother if there's a father as well; I just don't know.

Also I have teen girls to buy for. Does everyone think it's ok to go crazy in River Island this weekend or should I buy something more unisex? I'm dying to unleash my inner teen and go crazy; should I rein her in?

It's the first time I've done this and I'm so nervous my MNer is going to unwrap and think 'why has slatternly sent us these things?!'

Sorry silly question but this is the first time I have done this and want to make sure I get it right.In my email under special requirements it says Ds 1, does this mean 1 ds or that they have a ds who is 1

Is there any chance the original request message could be posted just to remind us (me) of the criteria. Have received my email and want to get it right.
TIA

Thanks for the email reminder MNSandy.

SantaSandymumsnet- thanks for email and pm. All came at same time. Off to browse for something suitable - I love this!! X

Hi Sandy. Should we put Mumsnet Towers as the senders' address in case of losses. My address doesn't seem quite right so will google the postcode but want to add a sender address just in case!

Christmaspudding - I think it's the age unless my recipient has 8 sons!

Got mine and with a great spread of ages for dc.is it ok to put a little something in for the mumsnetter too?

I'm going with onesies for teen girls I think :)

Hi Sandy, can I have a reminder of what I said I was buying? The person I'm sending to has 4 DC, do I just buy the one or something more general for all? Decisions Decisions!

I was going to do the same thegreylady. Just some chocolates or bubble bath.

A quick look on Amazon and I'm stumped on what to get an eight year old boy. No DCs in my family except my Peppa Pig obsessed DD.

cocoa-Ninjago lego is good for that age.we have got dgs who will be 9 on 22nd [sob] some electronic drumsticks and a clock that yoy build from scratch and it works [I hope]

Checked, I have my email from the Elves at MN Towers, yippee!!

Coco, I always go Lego if ds is asked to a party and if I'm not sure what the boy is into, I think it's a pretty safe bet. Neighbours boys of that age also like moshimonsters, nerf guns and remote control cars. I have Ds 6 who is mad on Ninjago Lego ATM too!

just to let you know i haven't recieved my email yet to donate! Thanks.

Thanks! Lego it is.

i was going to add something for the mumsnetter to. have been looking on the web and stuck what to buy my match. 2 year old little girl?

thegreylady yes I thought that but then I worried about size etc.

My nearly two year old loves Old McDonald's lotto at the moment littlemoon.

Oh I just love this, thanks Sandy for everything

I have to send vouchers to be practical, I live outside the UK.

Would any one be miffed if they received a voucher to spend on their DC's?

I was thinking ELC or WH Smith, then they could choose between books and games, or crafts?

Or does that sound like a cop out? I did say vouchers on my entry.

I received my match today too

Hey Giblets

I think vouchers would be very well received. Gives people the maximum flexibility. Not a cop out at all.

Ditto Pistey.
