SECRET KIDDIES XMAS SWAP - PLEASE READ!!!

Ok, inspired by everyones generosity and an idea I saw I'm suggesting we do a secret kiddies christmas swap.

How it would work is this. If you want to sign up your child(ren) then you list them here. Their ages (don't have to give their names)sexes and their likes and dislikes.

Then you will email me your address. I will then give each person one address and the poster whose child they are swapping presents with. The present will have a value between £1 and £5, I say value cos then you don't have to buy anything new. But it must be in good enough condition to give as a present iykwim.

So then your children would get a surprise gift from a total stranger.

Ok this sounds stupid doesn't it?

Anyone game?

Mummysurfer · 21/12/2003 12:27

Mine hasn't arrived yet ... but hopefully everyhting comes to those who wait!!

ninjinglebells · 21/12/2003 18:31

I've got down to 6 possible and 1 of those is a probable - do I have enough info yetanothersanta? or should I say ***?

MincePie · 21/12/2003 18:35

Er...ninja, who do you think yetanothersecretsanta is? Because she didn't send her gift to you!!!

Though I will say there are enough stars for your sender...but that all I'm saying till a week today

MincePie · 21/12/2003 18:37

Meant to add anothersanta says she sent hers to jammamia

ninjinglebells · 21/12/2003 19:16

It was yetanothersanta - she wrote to me earlier down the thread - well I'm down to 2 and pretty certain I know who it is

I must have done about 50 searches to get there tho'!

-author and name of child
-birth announcement and name of child
-date of sending
-eliminated those with girls
-eliminated those who sent registered
-author and meetups (this was the give away)

and a couple of others I can't remember

How did the rest of you guess?

WiShuaMerryXmas · 21/12/2003 19:18

I'm afraid that I haven't even tried ninjinglebells !

popsycal · 21/12/2003 19:18

well i am sure i know who mine was simply by the neatness of writing and the way in which it was wrapped ....no postmark on at all!!!
i will be gobsmacked if i am wrong!!!

yetanothersanta · 21/12/2003 19:39

Oooer, Ninja, you'd make a great detective . So who am I?

ninjinglebells · 21/12/2003 21:30

well yetanothersanta - maybe you should do an easter swap - am I right?

yetanothersanta · 21/12/2003 22:06

Yes (unless I'm being dim about understanding you!)

popsycal · 21/12/2003 22:10

is anyone else confused by all of this?

jasper · 21/12/2003 23:01

I am mystified as to where you are all finding the time never mind the inclination

Hogmanay · 21/12/2003 23:47

I think I know who you are santaslittlehelper -**?

philippat · 22/12/2003 09:34

MincePie · 22/12/2003 09:39

The only thing left to do would be to tell you my real name, Jan
Or your secret santa's real name I should say!!!!
Your final clue is that it is very 'festive' here today.....
