Secret Pal/ Secret Santa

[lisamarie]

I posted this on the Hot Mamas Thread also.

Would any of you want to start a Secret Pal/ Secret Santa thingy???

We can get our person the beginning of October. You can just use them as your Secret Santa person and get them a gift at Christmas time or you can use them as a pal and a secret santa gift and just send them fun stuff!

Like send them..baby coupons for brands you dont use. Or send them recipes your family likes....send them an article in a mag that you found interesting....send them stickers....send them ANYTHING...even if its just a card to say...'have a great day'. lol Just something fun and somethign neat to look forward to! hehe Yeahhhhhhhhhhhh!

So let me know who is interested and then I'll make up a list of questions that you answer about yourself so your secret pal knows something about you!!!!!!!! :D

[Bella923]

Count me in!!

[Leslie]

Count me in too. I think this could be fun!

[tracy]

Me, three!!

[Leanna]

Me four!

[lisamarie]

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

Leanna just hinted to me it wont be a secret since the postmark! LMAO! Oh lands..I got so tickled over that.
So if you just stick to bein a secret santa then they wont know...but if you decide to send them something before hand then they will know.. Guess we will have to see...Im gonna make up some questions in a bit.

Toodles!!!!!!!!!

[lisamarie]

1. Brand of baby items you use?

2. Favorite color?

3. Hobby?

4. Favorite smell?(vanilla, jasmine, horsesh!t) Ya get the drift eh??? hehe

5. Favorite holiday?

6. Things that make you smile(snowmen, pumpkins, angels, cookies...)

7. Favorite food.


Here is a list of things to answer. Then I will send this to your Pal.

Since it wont be a secret because of the postmark…we can either……
get a whole list of everyones address and pick and choose who you want to send something to then in December get your Secret Santa person….OR… would you rather I give you one person the month of October..then a new person the month of Novemer . Then In Decemeber you will get your secret Santa? You guys chose! Its up to you!

If you don’t want to participate TILL Christmas that’s fine also. Just pm me and let mke know.

Just let me know and we can get started!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A few ideas may be...send your pal coupons of the brands of baby items she uses(or any product). Send her your favorite family recipe.
SEnd her a card just to say hi!
Or if your kid is old enough...have them make something..with handpaints or crayons...whatever they want to send to your Pals kid. Anything goes! Just have fun!

We all were brought to together with this nasty PCOS ..lets enjoy each other!

You could be extra sneaky about mailing stuff and send it to a friend or family member in another state and have them mail it for you, that way know one would know for sure!

[lisamarie]

:lol: LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lisamarie]

:D Ummm....when you guys pm your answers.....you need to put your address.LOL!

[Terra]

maybe if we all take our location out of our profiles we might forget where some people live?

but really whenever you send a package or letter, you do not have to put a return address. If it gets lost then some lucky SOB gets to keep your gift!

[esarah]

I was thinking about not putting a return address but the postmark would still give it away.

[Lovebug]

This is such a fab idea!! I would love to do this!!!

[tracy]

Postmark or not -- knowing my brain (or lack thereof) lately, I'll probably sign the card when I send y'all something :lol: :lol: :lol:

[lisamarie]

Its fine if you sign the card. LOL! Since the postmark will give it away. BUt its cool...just gettin somethign from one of you groovy chicks is fun enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hehe

[lisamarie]

Ok girlys.....17 people! Whew hoo hoo hoooooooooooooo!

So....I guess I'll be sending these out tomorrow.

[Lovebug]

Lisa - This is such an awesome idea! I am so excited about this! Can't wait to find out who my pal is!

[lisamarie]

Ok..Im sending them out!!!!!!!!!!!

[lisamarie]

Ok..I have sent you all your new pal!!!!! Have fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you didnt get yours let me know. I thought I sent them all.

Or if you have problem with postage..like the ones who have the out of country ones..let me know and I can switch you around.

[mara232]

Can we just clarify - how big are the gifts we are sending? Like what $$ range.

[lisamarie]

You dont have to send any gifts right now. The only time you HAVE to send a gift iis for your secret santa gift in December.
RIght now you can send a gift if you want. But right now its just recipes, coupons...cards....articles you read that you might think your pal would like..so really there is no price range..you do what you want. This is just a cheap fun way to have fun.
In December....we will take a poll on the price limit for that gift.
But right now you do whatever you want.

HTH :D

[mara232]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh...got it!

[proud2Bamommy]

I'm so excited!!! Now, if I can only think of something to send!

[esarah]

I am excited too. I sent something off this morning. It was fun!

[mara232]

I am stuck...I need to figure out something neat.... :roll:

[lisamarie]

If any of you want to send me your bday or anniversary dates you can..and I will send them to your pal.

[Buttercup]

LM- I am sooo bummed!!! Things were so crazy this last week I forgot to pm you my info!!! Is it too late to get in on this- maybe for next month????

God Bless-
Buttercup

[lisamarie]

If you want to still get in..just pm me things about you and your name and address and I can switch some around.
:D

[cvalentine]

This is fun! I sent off something the other day!

[proud2Bamommy]

You know I'm so dumb and I may have asked this before or someone did... I dunno.. I'm gonna ask again. Is this pal our secret santa pal?? Or will we get the secret santa pal in Dec?

[lisamarie]

Right now its a pal. Unless you want it to be a secret...you can think of ways to hide your identity. The person you are issued for the month of December..thats your SECRET pal. THey will only get one thing from you and that will be a gift. We all will decide a price limit later on.
But right now....it can be anything you want it to be. Then the next month it will be the same..then in December....thats when we have to buy a gift and so on. hehe

[lisamarie]

If anyone has NOT sent their pal something and doesnt mind changing a person....PM and let me know. We have one more girl who entered and would like to be in on this month!
Anyone who does...will be sent a little gift from me!!!!! :D

[lisamarie]

Ok......one more time. heehe

If anyone hasnt sent their pesron something and dont mind switching...pm me!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks......

Like I said before...I'll send ya something special for being so sweet to switch!

[wantingbabynumber2]

Well since I have been procrastinating trying to come up with a cute idea I still am lacking in sending anything out so I suppose I can switch. again
