I'm glad you mentioned that Judy, I was hoping we could all brainstorm gift ideas?
I'd love to organise it, but I don't want to organise something that people don't want

Amy, I am happy to be involved but you will need to be quick..........I am leaving for India in a couple of weeks so would have to have my gift purchased by then. One of my daughters couple post it for me a bit later. I am also happy to send something to someone overseas. Let me know how much I can spend and I will to it...........

Okay, how about we make the cut-off date the 1st November for everyone to express their interest? That way we still have two weeks for people to see this thread and put their name down, and then I would have a week or two to match people, and then everyone would have plenty of time to organise their present?

So far we have:

Sounds good Amy. Is there a dollar limit on the gift? In all other secret santa's I've been involved in there has been a limit.

Amy :-) · « **Reply #19 on:** October 18, 2012, 08:48:22 am »

I'm not sure DFM. Should we set a limit, or maybe just a range as a guide? What is everyone comfortable with?

mcmich · « **Reply #20 on:** October 18, 2012, 08:51:54 am »

A range is good thinking Amy. I don't think it matters. It's about the fun and thought rather than the gift.

I think there should be a dollar limit to save embarrassment. Count me in.

Wonder · « **Reply #22 on:** October 18, 2012, 08:52:52 am »

Thanks to those who have put there hands up to help organize. I'm happy to send to an overseas person and think a $ range would be helpful.

I think it would be nice to have something homemade or reflective of your home - similar to the hampers you did for the thermofest. For example - a selection of homemade jams and condiments, limoncello etc or something to use in the cooking - like the vanilla beans Gert gave out, some good quality spices, cake decorating tools etc

Love the idea of a full hamper JD but I think it might get too expensive to send.

I'm in. OS fine.

Amy :-) · « **Reply #25 on:** October 18, 2012, 08:58:12 am »

Yay CP and Chookie

Homemade gifts would be really nice, but how are we going to set a "$ range" for those?

snappy · « **Reply #26 on:** October 18, 2012, 08:59:53 am »

The dollar limit could apply to the cost of the ingredients

mcmich · « **Reply #27 on:** October 18, 2012, 09:02:50 am »

The cost of the ingredients plus packaging. Maybe just set a limit and we could work within that give or take a dollar or two.

Amy :-) · « **Reply #28 on:** October 18, 2012, 09:03:48 am »

Okay, we're getting somewhere

Now what should our dollar range be?

droverjess · « **Reply #29 on:** October 18, 2012, 09:04:14 am »

Agree with snappy. Cost of ingredients good idea.
With the other forum I was on there were givers who took no notice of limit, but it didn't matter and it was the spirit of it all that counted.
