haha I just put "I honestly can't think of anything..." lol

I don't think too much as of late, but I do enjoy craft beer and booze haha Almost spent £70 on a beer advent calendar.... It's not too late to change my mind but £70 is a LOT.

The one at Costco was recently on offer for less than £30.  Craft beers.

The one I was going to get was Brewdog specific. Will need to look the Costco one up now :)

Okay, I'll be assigning Secret Santas this afternoon when I get home from Manchester - probably around 5pm.  There is still a little bit of time to jump in before it's too late, so if you're interested, let me know and PM me your details!  :)

Got mine - thanks Aquila! :) Appreciate the effort you've put in.

Know there are quite a few pages here but are you able just to  advise (because I'm too lazy to read through the 6 pages haha) if there's a price limit? Can't remember having seen it but I came into the thread late

Pretty sure it was £10. 😁
The usual. American girl meets British guy. They fall into like, then into love. Then there was the big decision. The American traveled across the pond to join the Brit. And life was never the same again.

Cool! thanks :D I might've seen it but I've seen a few different grabs for family and friends now that I couldn't remember for sure what was what and didn't fancy going through all the pages because of sheer laziness hahah

This is going to be a great Secret Santa 2018! 

As a recap of what we're doing:

1.  Please try to keep to a budget of around £8-10.  Whether it's one gift for the entire amount, or several smaller gifts that make up the amount - it's up to you!  Hopefully, everyone will now have an idea of what their recipient likes (and doesn't like), but if you're still finding yourself really stuck for ideas, let me know.  I'll have the elves try and get a bit more guidance.  :)

2.  Please try to have the package arrive by Friday 14th December at the latest.  Over the weekend (15th - 16th), we can do a mass gift opening, and the fun will be guessing who your Secret Santa is!  ;)  (And obviously, shhhh!  No telling who you are until then!  The package can be signed as "From your UKY Secret Santa" to keep up the suspense until the very end!)

3.  Once you have mailed your gift out, please PM me and let me know.  I'll update the thread to keep everyone informed.

4.  Have fun!  Above all, this is meant to be a fun holiday activity for all us UKYers.  :D

Let UKY Secret Santa 2018 commence!!!
