Fi - I haven't actually mentioned the C word - just the S word

And the other thing I forget to mention was that the second person to respond gets the list off the first person and allocates everyone.

So Grapes - we have our 2 volunteers.

That was easy.

By my reckoning thats RT and AL so I am off the hook

Oooo sounds like fun, count me in please, what sort of things do we buy??
Is it the usual thing's..socks for men....expensive perfume for the ladies

All sorts of gifts were given last year. I enjoyed finding a gift to suit the person's hobbies and interests (look up the profile of the person you are to buy for for help on this bit) and under the £2.50 threshold. Home made gifts were allowed to bulk out the gift with their value not counted.

I'm in! It was so much fun last year (possibly not for Lynda).

GN, last year we had a limit of £2 (or £2.50 can't re,member exactly) to spend. Lots of people embelished on this with free packets of seeds, jams, home made things. Its great fun.

...just done a quick search. Last year was indeed a £2.50 limit (well remembered Shirl). I think its nice to keep it low, it means everyone can join in, and it means being really ingenious with gift ideas.

Any newbies, you can search back for the Secret Santa threads from last year, there are even a couple of threads with photos of what we all received to give you ideas.
