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?

WSM - has your dd's present arrived yet? It should be there by now. Beety have you received the other parcel yet? I'm getting worried now. Please don't let mine be the only one that goes missing.

I am concerned that my pressie has not yet reached its destination - JJ, you've gone very quiet, have you got anything yet?

dsw · 18/12/2003 10:44

Has everybody now got their gift? Can we open them!!!

dsw · 18/12/2003 10:44

Oops cross post

WiShuaMerryXmas · 18/12/2003 10:46

It does, doesn't it ! My mumsnetter has neat handwriting and the gift feels like a book. Haven't removed the jiffy bag or opened the card yet, I wonder if there are any clues inside.....

dsw · 18/12/2003 10:56

It is all very exciting - I am easily pleased.

Mine feels like a book too.

Posted from the North West - Which cities are classed as NW?

WiShuaMerryXmas · 18/12/2003 11:00

Manchester, Liverpool.....

HappyHollyHulababy · 18/12/2003 11:03

I haven't got mine yet - don't open them without me!!! Not seen today's post yet though.

Are we not saving them 'till Chjritmas Day when Father Christmas delivers them?

WiShuaMerryXmas · 18/12/2003 11:19

Leeds, Huddersfield, Salford, Bolton, York.....

Mummysurfer · 18/12/2003 11:20

I haven't received mine yet ....has it been posted??

WiShuaMerryXmas · 18/12/2003 11:21

Ooops, don't think Huddersfield is a city !! Nevermind.

I thought these gifts were to opened on Christmas morning with all the others ? That's what'll be happening chez WSM, anyway.
