Mandy4Matt Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 WOW! Lots of People signed up this year! Can't wait till the pictures of gifts and ornaments received start rolling in... such FUN! :)Me too. Last year was my first year, and I loved finding the perfect ornament and receiving the perfect ornament. It was almost if the person was a best friend, that is how perfec the ornament was! I was super excited to sign up again this year!
peekaboo Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 Sent my info to you a few days ago. Wanted to make sure you received it. Thanks
rsthayer Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 just sent my info ! this was so much fun last year and I missed the summer one so I am excited that I got in on this one again !
lilquiet Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 These exchanges are always so much fun. For some reason I just feel really intimidated about the possibility of not being able to find the right gift, to wrap or not to wrap, etc. Is it possible to just sign up as an ELF?
AndreaInNC Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 Is it possible to just sign up as an ELF?I signed up as an Elf. I am to the point that I do not need anything and I have more fun giving and shopping than getting .. so I told Eve to please put me down as an Elf. I did that for the summer exchange as well and was so excited I got used! I had a blast putting together my package. And not everyone has control over their personal situations. So don't think that someone just flaked out and didn't send a gift. It can happen to anyone.
shaneberry21 Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 This will be my first year participating...I'm super excited! Just sent my email to Eve!
harrispizza4 Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 I'm in, I'm in, I'm in! So glad I didn't miss it this time...:)
speeddiva Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 Oh, I am SO excited to start shopping! Only a few more days :):):)
lilquiet Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 Thanks. I signed up to be an ELF :) Some of the sample list are very intimidating. lol

I am always thrilled with what I get. And it seems that people have a way of reading between the lines on the list and finding something special. Some of us do all the shopping for the family so the SS gift might be the only surprise of the season.

I know I am I do all of our shopping and usually my own so its nice to get an actual surprise.
rsthayer Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 I agree...anything that is a surprise is nice ! Last year was the first year I participated and even though getting a package was exciting a very nice I think I enjoyed buying and sending to my person more ! can't wait to get my name and start shopping !
ClosedAcct Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 I think I found the ornament I'm going to send. I was going to get it for myself until the I read the description and it said "going to an ornament exchange" and I thought OH HOW PERFECT! I'll wait for my list to see if I think they'll like it first. :)
AndreaInNC Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 Some years mt SS gift and my ornament exchange were my only gifts. It sucks being a single mom.
Illinoismom Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 Some years mt SS gift and my ornament exchange were my only gifts. It sucks being a single mom.not a singlemom but I know what you are saying, Last year was very special for me with the exchange
lilquiet Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 Thanks for all your kind words But I honestly feel this year just being an ELF is right for me.
mgmckny Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 Thanks for all your kind words But I honestly feel this year just being an ELF is right for me.That's good, do what is best for you. Just didn't want you to be scared off. We were all new at this once upon at time... :)
guilliam Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 Sent my info for the SS and ornament exchanges!! Nothing like waiting until the last minute Being in Nursing school takes all of my time and I just saw this.
mcapel4444 Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 I've seen some really neat ornaments out and about town. Bought myself a few, but can't WAIT to buy for my ornament person.
RBWilliams Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 I agree about the lists. I think that helps you figure out the persons interests, tastes and personality. Plus, remember that it will be ok to ask Eve for more info from the person just to get more clarity from them. This for me too has been my only gift that is a surprise, since I buy the majority of the family gifts and my own gifts :). Glad to see the same applies for others. Just want to say that I'm truly grateful to everyone on the Secret Santa Exchange. You see the same folks back yearly and it is like our own special Family. Yeah, we may have some hiccups here and there, but really, isn't that the same for regular families too.
parkcox Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 I requested to participate also but I also do not have much history. Guess its a waiting game. I would really like to participate though.
