    Do people think it would be weird to get handmade presents? I can make some really cool stuff I think but I don't want anyone thinking I'm a skinflint...

    Not at all! I was thinking of doing the same thing..

    Definitely not weird. I got a lovely handmade card last year and a little wooden windchime type hanging decoration that was either handmade or at the very least personalized, which I still have hanging in the kitchen. I'm doing a diy type pressie for one of mine this year.

    This isn't exactly secret santa related, but I just saw on facebook that a rescue is doing a shoe box appeal for all the dogs in their care that don't have a home for Christmas so they have a surprise to wake up to Christmas morning. I think it's a lovely idea :)

    It's a great idea to get people to donate something small but i'm heard so much bad news about that "rescue" that it's last place i'd donate!

    I've heard that there has been controversy about them, but never actually knew what it was so I haven't an opinion formed on them, but from their post I was thinking of maybe doing the shoebox idea for one of the local rescues around here, might just slip in a few extra orders with my SS ones when I order them tomorrow so some animals can still have a bit of experience of Christmas despite not being in a home :)

    Bought my pressie today, not completely happy with it but was very limited due to the limited stock they had in the shop. Might just add a small addition to it then it's ready for posting. :)

    My broadband has decided to break and I don't trust my phone internet so it looks like I'll be going the good old bricks and mortar route for my SS pressies. Pity, I had some lovely ones picked out!

    Ordered for my two SS people there now :D

    Mucho research had to be done beforehand. I am also one of these people that will continue adding to it so eh......don't be worried if you're wondering why the hell there's a petshop in a box at your door.

    My Amazon order arrived yesterday and I got such a laugh opening it, some of the items are great. I just hope that one of my SS's isn't too easily offended by a bit of "toilet" humour! :p

    I was toying with the idea of making something but have decided that it's perhaps better to purchase something along the same lines. Sussed it out today and found something that I hope will be welcome!

    Seeing as we're now in December, posting is open!! You have till the 9th to get those packages on their way. I'm hoping my online orders come in tomorrow so I can get sorted (I ended up being able to shop online after all!)

    Please pm me or post on this thread when you have sent your presents, and when your pets have received theirs so I can make sure nothing gets lost in the post. This is very important so would appreciate everyone's cooperation on it! (But I have every faith ye will be as good as ever :D )

    Have my parcel ready to go in the post on Thursday!

    Had to hide the pressies from Poll, she'd have only thought they were for her but now I'm really excited to have hers arrive. :)

    My order arrived today! So hope to send it Thursday or Friday.

    I hope one of them doesn't mind cat smell as Squeak launched herself straight into the box as soon as my back was turned :pac:

    Jesus, thank feck I checked the thread, I didn't realise we had to post so soon. I'm involved in another secret santa and posting is by 19th December so I was probably thinking of that.
    Anyway, my goodies are arriving today (I just got a text from the courier) so will be sending them off tomorrow :D
