SECRET KIDDIES XMAS SWAP - PLEASE READ!!!

[pie]

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?

Damn!

January sounds good too, I like the idea of a mums one!

you are all so organised!!!!
i am struggling...

Pie, why would you feel guilty ?! This swap looks like it would take a fair amount of your time up. Time tends be v precious to Mums of newbies and littlies ! Would still like to send a little something to say thank you. Please let me know if that is ok.

eeek! what's all this buying gifts and sending them off already ??

I'm going with the recycling-of-excess-toys thing (as new, of course). hope no-one minds. Must remember to go to the post office.

Gift bought and wrapped, will post it tomorrow

Got pressie today, DD helped me choose it! Hope to get it wrapped and posted by the weekend.

I don't mine the idea of recycling. Unfortuantely DD doesn't have much that'd be suitable for my swap. Besides I just sent a bag of her toys to nursery today for them - clearing out space for new ones this Christmas.

We could make the January one unwatned xmas pressies

Oh oh oh...it gets better harman!!

As you signed up 3 children I had to split your into 1 and 2 to get the numbers to match...so you should be getting another one

Thats me just wrapping mine up now....this is great fun!

That's a point Pie, am I receiving from the person I sent to or are we all mixed up ?

I assumed we were all mixed up, because in pie's email she suggested we could send them anonymously and then have fun working it out, and if it was a straight swap that would be a bit easy

Mine went off first class today

Mine went first class yesterday .
