Secret Santa Wishlist swap discussion & gallery

Oh my goodness, I definitely have to join this one! I’d better hurry and get my other swaps wrapped up first! This looks so fun! :slight_smile:

Yeah, I’m always nervous about things not turning out, so I tend to (when possible) make an attempt at the craft before I make the claim. My sense of date is also screwy, though - Halloween is basically like tomorrow right? Not quite! :slight_smile:

I’d love to join this round, but I’m still not sure I can. I had a HUGE package for a swap go missing and feel like I need to remake it and I’m afraid it will take up all of my time to recreate it. Of course, I might be able to squeeze in a few claims…I’m definitely thinking about it.

Oh no! That is the worst! I am so sorry to hear that happened. All that hard work. I hope it will eventually show up.

Bummer, I feel your pain. That one package that I’ve been waiting to be delivered for two months FINALLY arrived. I hope the crafting goddesses are friends with the postal ones and it makes an appearance soon.

Oh I’m so sorry! That would be upsetting. I hope it shows up soon.

Thank you for your kind words. I’m still getting used to swapping and I am trying not to be so critical of myself.

Hooray, I’m in! Now to work on my wishlist… XD

I’m so tempted to join! But I will be starting a new work from home job this Monday and I have no idea how big the work load is. I’ll think about it.

Well, you’ve got a week or so to figure it out before sign-ups close. :grin:

I keep modifying my list after I see other’s lists… “Oh yeah, good point. Oh yeah, good idea… why didn’t I think of adding that?” :crazy_face:

I am getting some serious FOMO because I know there are awesome swappers already and it is such a fun swap. My. arm. is. twisting. I’ll probably sign up. Tonight.

Please allow me to twist that arm a bit more (but not so much that it’s painful). :grin:

I wasn’t going to join any more swaps this year to focus on making Christmas presents, but now that one of my swaps has been received I have a free spot. I don’t usually get fomo, but I can’t pass up on the opportunity to grant some wishes and be a part of this lovely way to wrap up the year on LC.

A couple of questions as this is my first time in the swap:
Can we include our name inside the swap package so the person knows who sent it once they’ve opened?
And, once we have sent our first package that suits the size required, can we send smaller packages if we have something suitable for a request for supplies, or a smaller item, etc…

Thanks!

I will do the same tomorrow I guess :slight_smile:

Whether you include your name is up to you-- some people keep the surprise going longer, but that’s up to you. (Also if you’re the only one in Australia, that could be a bit of a giveaway…) There’s lots of potential to be super sneaky about secret santa-ing, but if that’s not your jam it’s entirely ok to sign your packages if you want.

Every package should be at least two smalls or a medium, but that can be a supply and a tiny gift item.

OUCH!!! That hurt!!

Kidding!

But, it worked. I signed up.

Let the :gift: giving begin! (Soon)
