I gotta admit I'm having a hard time deciding what to get for my gift buddy. Anyone want to throw out some ideas?

P.S. I hope this isn't considered cheating  ;)

How about having a look at some of your person's posts? Maybe in places like, "What's the last thing you bought," or "What's the last thing you bought online." That might give you an idea of what he/she likes.

So I've pretty much figured out what to get my secret santa person, at last! This £10 limit is pretty tough.

Just one questions for those who have done this before, when I send my package, should I say who I am or should I just sign it UKY secret santa?

That was fast, Jewlz! I'm buying for my person this week, it will be my 1st present purchased for anyone this year so far!
I'm done moving. Unrepatriated back to the UK, here for good!

I'm so excited to shop for my person, but with Hanukkah so early this year (starts on the 11th!) I need to get the family sorted first.  I'd much rather buy fun stuff than try to come up with eight cheap gifts for the kid! :P

I just got my gift! I think I am the first one to receive it! Of course, I couldn't wait, so I opened it, and it was just what I wanted!  ;D ;D ;D Should I say who my gift-giver was and what I got, or wait until everyone else gets theirs? Wooohoooo!  ;D

DO NOT SAY!!!!!!!!!!

If you said who it was, then people would know who didn't get their name. That sounds confusing. Sorry. But do not say!!!!!

It's supposed to be SECRET!!!!!

Oh, um, both myself and the person who sent a gift to me signed our cards with our names on.  :-\\\\

OK, well I thanked my person in a PM, but haven't posted anywhere on the forum who that person was. Hope we are following the rules here!   :-[

Read the thread, people!!!!!

P.S.  I know I didn't spell it out in my PM, but it is meant to be secret - so please don't identify yourself! We can reveal all later after everyone's opened their presents!  ;D

Secret means secret!!  :P :P
