Secret Santa 2018 Official Discussion Thread


Bopeep

Recommended Posts

'Tis the last official day to sign up.  I won't get the names out until Saturday, so stragglers will have a couple extra days but if you're already here, PLEASE DON'T WAIT. :)

 

The last couple years, I've been able to switch things around and allow late comers, but it does cause some confusion.  I especially only want to send out 1 cards list this year.  (Having said all that, I hate the thought of anyone missing out so I guess we'll just see how it goes).

Oh it is really happening...yipppeeee

I know I've already asked you all to do this, but please check the lists.  I don't want to miss anyone, or sign anyone up for something they don't want to participate in :).

 

 

Great participation this year! I'm so excited!!!

For those doing Secret Santa - see if you have a Penzey's Spice store in your area.  If you do, sign up for the email list.   they often run freebie specials, some require a purchase, and some do not.  They normally do $1.00 spice specials each month.  I found out about this company after the Women's March, the owner is progressive and doesn't have a problem sharing his political views.  So you either love him, or you don't.  Right now, they are offering Turkish Oregano and their Bavarian seasoning for $1.00 for a 1/4 cup jar.  They are also offering their "I will vote Kind" box of spices for only $6 (normally $19.95).  You will also get a free 1/2 cup jar of chili seasoning with a $5 purchase.  You can also check them out on Facebook to see what specials they are running too!

give me someone who wants a Kohl's throw..... I happened to have gotten an extra or two or so today :)

Lord, ain't this the truth!  I got an extra two, or three......maybe even 4.   :sidesplit

 

But my excuse is that I had to walk by the bin of them on my way to Customer Service to pick up my orders for the first round.  :)
