Is anyone interested in a Secret Santa this year 2025?

ETA: @Baker

Yeah, I’m not sure what’s going on - I can’t seem to get a PM or an e-mail to @Baker!

Thank you @Nayna, for allowing me to participate! My likes are below…

My dislikes: meat products, okra, and black licorice or anise flavours.

OMG! Is it too late? I haven’t been on the boards in ages, but I usually don’t miss Secret Santa.

If it’s not too late, here’s my info!

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.

Edit: yes to adult beverages, esp if local

@Rhiannon8404, you’re in! Please e-mail me at klgould5@gmail.com to confirm your real name and address.

And that’s officially the cutoff, folks. Shop away!

Done!

FIRST!

I shipped my last package today.

I love shopping for my person, I always stress so much about getting things mailed out in time. Now that’s over with and I can sit back and enjoy reading about everyone’s packages :slight_smile:

Damn! My person’s items won’t even reach me until Friday. You’re making the rest of us look bad!

YES! Look at me impressing people for once!!!

Honestly? The covid Secret Santa totally killed my trust in the USPS. I paid many extra pennies for three day delivery and got two and a half week delivery instead. I stressed every day it was late and vowed to not let it happen again.

I got my person! Squee!

I will say that my package won’t go out until probably the 8th or the 9th. There’s big craft fair filled with local homemade goodies the preceding weekend and I want to snoop the vendors for suitable Secret Santa gifts before finalizing my box.

I also want to check out our "Handmade Arcade” on December 5 before mailing.

@Baker? You good?

Yes. I got my name

Oh, I will be sending north and it’s getting into winter so if I send something like chocolate I hope it survives.

Better cold weather than hot weather for chocolate! I’m sure it’ll be fine.

I did send the package today, via UPS, to the Mitten state, I would go ahead and open it as it does have food in it;. the chocolate,

I got something from Kansas (“hi, Dorothy!”) but have not opened it yet. If this box is from my Santa, please know it has been retrieved to safety, and sits quietly because Thanksgiving is not a day to open presents …. nah, I may change my mind.

I have not obtained everything I wanna send to my recipient, but I’m workin’ on it.

Package sent today! Friday, 11/28.

I have been told by my recipient that their packages have arrived.

I am happy.

Every time I try to get to the post office to send my box I get get called in to work. I’ll try again tomorrow. Never fear, Santa Recipient. Your package will get to you if I have to drive it there myself.
