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?

Dear WiShuaMerryXmas

I'm really pleased to be able to let you know that your DD's present is on the way.

I really hope she likes it, I was very worried about choosing.

Love Santa

Dear Beety

Just to let you know that the second part of DS's present is on it's way to you now.

Love Santa

Have only just caught up with this thread, doing boring housework. How exciting that a message has been left on here for little old me (insert blushing smiley). Thank you secretsanta, whoever you are

P.S. Correct HogmonayJan

when i showed dh the pressie in the box and the envelope, i he said that it comes from a person with a particluar profession - i thought the exact same thing....i am 99% sure i know who it is from even though there was no postmark at all
very cunning
