March Bubbas - Kris Kringle participants

[Elmopalooza]

Ok ladies, this is the official thread for all of you that are interested in being a part of the Kris Kringle present swap for the March Bubba's of 07!!

Just copy and paste the list below and add yours and your baby's name in at the bottom. I will start.

1. Lana - baby Griffin


Price limit is anywhere between $10 and $20.

Once everybody that wants to be a part of it has put their names in i will write them all on little bits of paper and pull them out of a hat to make it fair. I will tell everyone the end date a little bit later. Have fun :)

[Little_Toad]

Is this for Christmas presents or just a present because?

[Elmopalooza]

Hollie it is for xmas... not sure if you remember but we spoke about it a while back.

Um... should we say between $10 and $20 for the present?? and seeing as though we will all be paying for postage anyway that bit sort of cancels itself out.

Just a quickie.... I was talking to one of the other girls and the price limit came up in conversation.

I have decided to make the price limit anywhere between $10 and $20. That way there is a much bigger range of things to choose from.

Dont feel like you have to spend the full $20 though. If you see something great for $10 then i say GO FOR IT!

Hope that is ok

[BlueGin]

I like the idea of a bit of a price range. How do people feel about 'made' gifts? There are particular babies that I'd consider making something for, others I might prefer to buy... how do you all feel? If anyone particularly didn't want a home-made gift I guess they could say so :)

[Elmopalooza]

I think homemade gifts are great!! (hope you get me now lol!)

[nemosmum]

Gin, I was going to suggest the same thing:thumbsup:

I love handmade stuff.....but mine might not be handmade by moi LOL I saw some great hand knitted toys and rattles on a site hmmmm I will wait and see which lil bubba I get!!!

Im very excited now:yelclap:

Hurry up March mummies and get your names on the list so we can get started

Lana should we all pm you our details? so you can pass them onto our KK's OR is that too much for you?
Im happy to do it if you like?

Sxx

[Elmopalooza]

Yeah if everyone wants to PM me their details etc that would be great. I will just hit forward and send it to the person that gets you, that way i dont have to retype them all and risk making a mistake lol!

When should we make the cut-off date?? End of Spetember or October? We need to make sure we leave enough time to shop for the pressie, we all know how hard it can be to get to the shops these days!

[defaipe]

bg i want you! im hanging for a pink knitted beanie ;) ;)
:laughing:

i love made gifts!!

ETA lana i think the cut off should be end of september. then we should all say presents are sent by end of october or mid november. just to make sure they arrive.. sending parcels around christmas time is crazy.. its gonna be a struggle not opening the presents till christmas day!!

can we do this again around the babies birthdays :D

I dont want anybodys cr@ppy home made gifts!!!


:laughing: :laughing: :laughing:


(actually I might prefer it)

[BlueGin]

:laughing: you're too funny Hollie :laughing:

[BlueGin]

Good point Sheree!

Cut off date is 30th September for anyone that wants to take part in the xmas Kris Kringle.

Just a quick note... if I'm going to make anything (I guess it does depend on the recipient I get) then I'll need quite some time to get it sorted, so getting a name at the start of October would mean probably not posting till mid November, is that too late?

I'll PM you my details now Lana, I just remembered!

Also, could our Moderator please make this sticky? It's bound to get lost before Christmas otherwise!

[nemosmum]

I think we should wait till the start of december to send the gifts
It wont take more that two weeks to get delievered in the post surely and then I will only have two weeks to wait to open it....less temptation LOL

plus more time for the home made c r a p masterpieces to get crafted:yelclap:

[Bambaloo]

What's sticky?

[BlueGin]

Yeah that sounds like long enough Sarah, otherwise I'll definitely open it! :laughing: (And cr@p beauty should never be rushed! :p ;))

Carrie-if a thread is 'sticky', it means it stays at the top of the list in that section, doesn't get buried under all the other threads

[Bambaloo]

Thanx Miss Mod!

[Elmopalooza]

Cool sounds good. So we will draw out the names at the beginning of October and then have until End of November to send it yeah? Cool.

[BrendansMum]

Lana, thanks for organising this. This is a great idea! I'll PM you my details soon.
