I’m in! I love the Secret Santa exchange!
I would love to receive something hand made by my Secret Santa, or made in or native to where my Santa lives.
San Francisco Giants and San Jose Sharks are my teams
In general, I love gardening, knitting/crochet, bats, corvids, coffee, Fiestaware. I am allergic to kiwi and pineapple; don’t like coconut or mushrooms.
Wotthehell-I’m in. Make that gift come from the heart…no matter how devious that heart may be.
I had to look up a recipe for shoo fly pie - I’d heard of them but never had one. And I have to say, it sounds disgusting. So please don’t send me one.
I’m putting fighter plane on my wish list!!!
I didn’t look up the recipe. All I know about them is the song I learned as a youngun:
Shoo fly pie, an apple pan dowdy,
Makes your eyes light up, and tummy say Howdy.
Shoo fly pie, an apple pan dowdy,
I never get enough of that wonderful stuff.
OMG someone is living their childhood dream & getting A PONY FOR CHRISTMAS!! 
I said a buggy - not its power…
Bumping for any latecomers!
I used to send things from AZ because I lived there. We have since moved to WV so anyone who has had me as a Santa in the past doesn’t need to worry about getting repeat gifts cause everything is different back here!
Pepperoni rolls anyone?
The time has come!
All names have been drawn and will be sent out today, and I’ll update the thread with a total count and list of participants. I did send PM’s to a few people because I need some more information, so please be on the lookout.
Everyone from 2023 is here again this year, and we have 7-9 new people, as well!
Here’s to a good Secret Santa Season! I’ll send updates as we go along.
Oh, hurray! I’m so excited!
My husband just managed to destroy my favorite potholders - so put those on my wish list, please!
Got my victim… er, recipient. Let the creativity begin!!!
Apologies to a few of you - I had matched everyone (my daughter used some fancy program that randomly picked for us!), but somehow skipped sending a few messages. I should be all caught up now.
Happy creating/shopping!
I have a question about allergies. Some people have mentioned them here. Some are for food items and some are for other substances.
If you are allergic to wool, say, would you be bothered by acrylic or orlon type yarns?
i’m in…CA. i’m a new Santa, apologies for this lateness! i love funny (haha not uh oh), puzzles, magic (illusions/prestidigitation), purple (the colour not film), tea, dragonflies, whales, motorsport, games (board or logic not MMO), driving fast, garden (zone 10), crunchy + salty sh*t(snacks not lifestyle… ok though i do like salty language).
i don’t need “stuff” so something local or unique is ideal! i prefer anything that is different…but some people call my “different” ugly, weird or “quirky”.

secrets have been sent! i got very lucky this year and found things very quickly.
I will be mailing tomorrow, the first package. A second package needs to be finished, it’s a handmade thing, and it’s possible it will get there by Christmas, but not guaranteed.
Package going out tomorrow.
I sent mine out on Friday (December 6).
Still gathering mine up, hoping to get it out there on Saturday.
