I think it is a brilliant idea. I remember in Gracetown some people had to leave things behind as they just couldn't fit them in. I have been racking my brains as to what I could bring that was small and light and not get yelled at by the quarantine boys and girls.
I would hate to have to leave any goodies behind too.

What amount does everyone think is suitable.

I was thinking maybe around $50 or even a little more. Maybe we could even purchase a voucher to the value to use as the lucky dip. It will certainly be easier just one gift instead of 30 or more.
What do others think?

[Kimmyh]

I was thinking $50 too......if you don't mind me putting in my five cents worth ☺️

[cookie1]

Of course not, you can even put in 10 cents worth if you like.

Great idea to me, it is so hard coming up with ideas.  $50 is a cheap way out so I go along with that as well.

Everyone should have a say. Gift cards would be a Hoot. Like giving yourself a gift. I am thinking POK . Amazon, Coles, Tea2, . I can see Us all dipping into the bag and squealing.  Could even exchange cards. Good thinking cookie.  That might be a fair exchange  and a giggle.

Anyway an idea.

All sounds so exciting.  Trying to get fit enough to enjoy every moment.   We will probably spend some extra time in Tassie.  Not sure if we will bring the car or fly and hire car.  Shame Ral gave up his bus license  last year.  Lucky Dip,  ( one gift) seemed to work well at CC's lunch.  It is a real problem carrying  imaginative gifts interstate.  Hally provided the Bay leaves for me when we went to WA.  $50 a good amount.

I agree, it was so much easier to think up just one gift for CC's weekend.  I think it will make the preparation for the weekend much easier on everyone.

I think this is a brilliant idea.  Not having taken part in other get-togethers, this is a lot less daunting for a 'newbie'. 

[gertbysea]

Seems it is the go then JulieO. No goodie bags but a light weight  non bulky non food gift for  a lucky dip to the value of $50. Hopefully you are right Julieo more people will sign up for the Tassie Fest. Without having the worry of so many gifts.  One big happy "family" get to gether.

Great idea everyone I agree wil everything $50 is fine and much less stressful 

[Emme]

Brilliant idea and would certainly be less stressful 

[trudy]

$50 is fine by me as well.  Gert, I'm sure you enjoyed your little nip before you boarded the plane in Adelaide, would have made the journey a little smoother.
