So same rules as last year.

Rules.

2)Present to cost no more then $30.00, jor mums and bubs, dont forget, you will have postage on top of this.

3) If you put your name down, you must follow through.

4) The only person who will have your address will be me and your secret Santa, i will not pass them on to anyone else.

5) PM me you Bub hub name, real name and address and what size cloths bubs in wearing by the 1st November.

6) I will PM everyone with there secret Santa's name and address on the 2nd november and you will be responsible for sending the presents on time.

7) You can't tell anyone who your secret Santa is.

8) You must PM me when you send your SS present

9) You must PM me when you receive your SS present.

10) Due to safety reasons, this SS will only be open to 'regular' july 06 mummies and daddies. If you aren't sure if this is you, just ask me.

YAY Mell - little Aussie Champion!!!

I'm in too :smiliedance:

But you can shove your rule number 2 coz I'm a gonna spend more than that (sorry!) ;)

And I think it should be mumma and bubba

But with an open statement of mumma is optional according to what you can manage

I'm tippin' between now and Chrissie most of us will be able to manage it OK

After all - we are family!

Myztik

11-09-2007, 15:39

I'm in :)

so it $20 for both mum and bub or $20 each??

I'll pm you when I get back from picking Zac up.

Mell

11-09-2007, 15:41

so it $20 for both mum and bub or $20 each??

What does everyone else what to do, i am happy to do $20 each, or do you think this is to much? Maybe $30 for both pressies??

What does everyone want to do??????

Seekrit

11-09-2007, 15:58

$20 + $20 is more than I spend on some family :S sorry to say.. I'd prefer it kept under $30

Myztik

11-09-2007, 16:25

hmm I'd probably say $30 for both coz then there is postage on top of that.. Chrissie is a pretty tight time money wise for most people.

Seekrit

11-09-2007, 16:26

and also the more we spend the more it's going to cost us in postage etc. :p
(I'm so tight, aren't I?)

Mell

11-09-2007, 17:19

Ok, we will do $30 for both pressies.

Mariposa

11-09-2007, 18:19

Ive pm'd you!!! :D

Veritas

11-09-2007, 19:43

11-09-2007, 20:14

Lol, only just clicked there was a thread for this! In in, but too tired to pm tonight, promise I will do it next login. I'm happy with all the choices you guys have made.

Although, I've been a bit mia lately *panics about still being a regular*...!

Bessie

14-09-2007, 14:19

Me too, I'd like to join in! $30 for both sounds good... some hints would be good later on as I will be very uninspired otherwise!

pegasus

14-09-2007, 15:49

I'm in - I'm regular - but not as regular as some of you others - heck- I usually only post once a day!!!

Can't say I've seen that Lil B person around though - she must be with those "other" July 06 mummas and bubbas LOL

Will pm you my details tonight Mell

Oh and seen as I have already pm'd you I will just say in here - Jakeys size is big country boy size - he is mostly in 2's

Hehe - think Miss K will only be a 0 in time for Chrissy - she's in 00's now. Bought a new outfit for Mr A today in a 2 - maybe I should just send it for Jakey - it's gorgeous;)

Sounds like $30 for both is the concensus (MD - you just pick and choose which rules apply for you- we all know you don't abide by rules anyway!:p )

KapowSchazam

14-09-2007, 16:54

TinyStar

15-09-2007, 02:53

Wow MD you can knit!?! :eek:

You'll have to bake her some scones to go with it ;)

*ducks*

Mother Duck

15-09-2007, 11:53

You might well duck too my friend!

Pfft - scones - humph!

And for the record - nope, no clue how to knit!

TinyStar

16-09-2007, 21:35

ouch that scone hurt! (or was it a rock?)

You can chuck em better than you can bake em ducky.

Mother Duck

Just a quick bump for everyone to see

Mother Duck

30-09-2007, 21:21

Count me in if thats okay but the only problem is I have twins so whoever gets us don't worry about me just the boys so I would be happy if we just spent $20 in total on bubs so that would be ten each for the boys.
Quite right - and that's all you will get too I'm sure, fancy having two children rather than one, some people just have to make life hard don't they!...........

.............snigger snigger, bump bump!

:p

pegasus

30-09-2007, 23:04

Yeah - on her logic she should only have gotten one baby bonus:laughing:

Heck - we only have about 2months to save/work out where we'll figure the money - none of us are that good at planning!

We definitely wouldn't be able to organise presents for all if pulled from the hat

I will sort something out :thumbsup:

Seekrit

02-11-2007, 06:32

Awwww :( sorry, I didn't see that the original post had been modified, my bad.. i just thought because I'd put my name down I didn't need to recheck the thread :o

And I was at work yesterday so.. yeah.

It's alright, my fault, I'll give it a miss no worries...

Mell

02-11-2007, 06:59

I am sorry, i waited till about 8pm last night to hear from you before i sent all the pm's out.
Sorry again :o

Seekrit

02-11-2007, 07:23

Rachael

02-11-2007, 08:33

Maybe if we have a christmas bbq we coud do pressies there too, cheaper ones like $10max or so.
At least Cobey will get a pressie off a bubhubber then:thumbsup:

:hugs:

Hmmm hints for Bradley's SS:

Bradley is a size 2 and is a very creative little boy, loves to dance and waves and points and says there at everything lol.

I feel like I am putting him on a matchmaking show or something writing that.

Edit: Forgot to ask - Do we put our name's on the gift?

MoonstoneMumma

02-11-2007, 09:16

oohhhh can we give out hints? well, connor is a size 0 pants and 1 top.

umm, very very musical and also loves books.

KapowSchazam

02-11-2007, 09:43

Awww POOR LIL COBEY :crying:

What can we do??? You HAVE to be involved Nikki, it won't be the same without you :no:

Hints ay???

B is girly :p

She loves dancing and cuddly things

She's a big 0 or small 1 size 4 shoe (hehe lil like her mumma huh!)

She loves anything that makes noise (and I don't mind them too much either!!!)

Ummm.....

Mariposa

02-11-2007, 10:21

thanks for the pm mel.

hints for Linaloo. shes now into wearing size 0 (big ones) and size 1, some very small size 2. shoes - 4. as you all know, this is a very girly house :D
musical (groan). Im not fussed though :D

Bessie

02-11-2007, 11:00

Ok here's some hints for Eliana-banana...
She is a big size 1, small size 2 (2 is good to be on the safe side).
Quite girly but also suits red as she's dark haired... summer dresses are cool and also pretty leggings for tearing around the place.
Loves the bath, would live in it if she could, loves bunnies, kitties... also likes sharing books.
Has loads of hair, slides and hair bands much appreciated but not ones which go over the whole head (like an aliceband ifkwim) as she just rips them off and groans.
Nothing too heavy or clunky which could encourage her mummy bashing tendencies :laughing:
Hope that gives some ideas! We're not too fussy, it's the thought that counts!:xmas:

Myztik

02-11-2007, 11:17

Kai's your typical boy, loves cars, trucks, blocks and anything thats noisy or he can get dirty with :p
He's almost in a size 2 for all his clothes ;)

Myztik

02-11-2007, 11:18

Nothing too heavy or clunky which could encourage her mummy bashing tendencies

:laughing:

Angel'sCandy

02-11-2007, 12:03

hi gorgeous mummas :hugs: angel will love anything she gets and so will i, so i am not too fussy. angel's in size 0-1 clothes, loves banging things - she would love anything really :kiss:

TinyStar

02-11-2007, 13:28

awwwww Kel you are such a sweetie

Mr P is a size 0 in pants and a 1 in tops, he likes the water (he is a 2 in swimwear), getting dirty and making mischief.

The star household are getting ready for xmas and plan to go all out with as many decos as possible

honeydew

02-11-2007, 14:52

Forgot to ask - Do we put our name's on the gift?

I am wondering this as well. Mason's secret birthday present came with a card with the gift givers names on it so wondering if this is what we are meant to do?

Hints for Mason-
Size 1 or 2, size 2 to be on the safe side
LOVES puzzles
Loves 'cleaning' and 'cooking' type stuff as he mimics his mummy all day long
ummm.... can't think of anything else but he will love anything he is given!

jayney

02-11-2007, 15:23

Ok then well the lucky person who got us (hmmmm I wonder who it is) here is the deal.

Don't worry about Mum at all just spend $15 each on the boys or maybe a joint present (not a joint as in a joint but a combined one)

Maybe a nursery rhyme CD or a DVD of some nature - kiddies one

OR

Clothes both are in size one bottoms and size 2 tops or a bigger one top, or a hat each.

But really they would be happy with anything and remember don't worry about Mum okay

Is enough hints?

pegasus

02-11-2007, 23:24

$15 each on the boys or maybe a joint present (not a joint as in a joint but a combined one)

Gotta love that!!!:laughing:

Little miss K is still in 00's. Thinking she may stand a chance of being in 0's by Christmas. She loves dancing - started wondering about Hi-5 today. She loves posting stuff (in all sorts of crevices), loves copying mum and big brother in all activities and putting lids on/off. (Guess that means jigsaw, matching type games).

Hope that helps!

PS What was the money limit on bub (and we are supposed to include mum aren't we?). Just wondered as there aren't any hints on here for mummas.

Seekrit

03-11-2007, 05:51

WOOOHOOO I'm in now :p

Cobey's in size 0 still... (in fact can fit 00 but I loathe to buy it because I don't know if he'll grow out.. 0 fits him well)
He likes animals and books and cars - he's obsessed with Cars.

TinyStar

03-11-2007, 06:37

Don't worry about Mum at all just spend $15 each on the boys or maybe a joint present (not a joint as in a joint but a combined one)

:laughing: I think thats what you want there Jayney.

Mell

03-11-2007, 14:58

Yer, i say put our names on our gifts :thumbsup:

Jayney, you are a crack up about the joint, hahaha.

Seek, so glad everything worked out

Veritas

03-11-2007, 15:14

Jayney you are too funny!!!

Miss P is in a 1 quite comfortably and has load of clothes... so I would say a 2!

She loves her dolly's at the moment, along with Hi-5, Fairies... and anything that involves pulling something apart, putting it together or putting something in a hole!

She loves noisy things too!

As for me, I'm easy! :p

04-11-2007, 21:44

Just popping in to say a quick hello! Writing going really well, but just thought I'd take a break to think about Secret Santa.

Hmmm... I'm never good at hints. We are a HUGE book family and music! Me? I like funky earrings - golly this is hard, I can't think of ANYTHING ELSE!

Lach loves books, shoes, is NOT keen on soft toys or anything to do with tigers and he loves trains now! In fact we took them both on our local tourist railway train today and they loved it.

Hope that's some hint!

Just wanted tos ay I miss ya's all HEAPS!!

honeydew

04-11-2007, 21:53

We miss you too Rach!

Are we meant to be giving hints for us mums??

Hints for me- I love books, anything girly, I LOVE everything pink, anything to do with babies ummmmm this is really hard!! :o

Myztik

05-11-2007, 11:29

hmmmm hints for me?????

ummmm I love reading, preferably horror/crime etc.. lol thats all I can think of :p
I'd say bath smelly stuff but my bath is **** so shower gels and things like that.. I like to smell pretty at all times LOL. god I dont know.

Two Little Buggalugs

05-11-2007, 21:18

panicked on the weekend that my ss was late then i remembered it's first of december, not november... am losing touch with time lol

so excited i know what i'm getting my ss, it's getting me into the xmas spirit!

nix fits a one in most brands, i often buy her a two though if there's not much difference, just to get a bit longer wear. but she likes anything - toys, books, blocks, art whatever.

i'm easy too (did the second preg give it away...?), love to read, go out, stay in, eat lol girly things etc

hope that helps!

Myztik

05-11-2007, 21:22

i'm easy too (did the second preg give it away...?)

:laughing: behave!

aimz

08-11-2007, 15:36

hmmm... Chloe is size 1 now, loves books, hi5/wiggles, dolls.... anything that makes her feel grown up lol

me - i love reading, talking, shopping etc etc... im pretty easy too (although i can walk around naked at my house with a sign saying take me now lol and i still wouldnt get any action - ahhh got to laugh!!!)

Seekrit

26-11-2007, 16:26

Morning all

Did not know we were updating in this thread :)

Bradley & I got our lovely pressies from Haylie and Mason yesterday.

I got a book called Mothers Wisdom with beautiful little quotes inside and Bradley got paints, crayones and a wiggles scrap book. He spent ages scribbling and drawing it it and we are going to try out painting this weekend.

Thankyou again Haylie & Mason :hugs:

We sent our ss pressie yesterday morning - so hopefully it'll arrive very very soon!!

Have to admit - we've opened ours and started using...

K has got to read some books and dance to Hi-5 - loving it, and me and DH have munched on some yummy chockies

I blame A for wanting to open pressies and convincing me and K to do so. (So far we've read about Santa's summer and a crocodile) His punishment is that he gets to dance to Hi-5 and listen to stories while chocolates are hidden:laughing:

Thanks SS - great pressies:thumbsup:

I have a sneaking suspicion who you are as the postmark betrayed you, while the only other person who may have sent from the same area hasn't sent yet.

You did really well - it was just us being naughty which means we know what the presents are already, but we're getting good use.:hugs:
