I was wondering what was the budget going to be and what date are the parcels going to be posted? Also if people could post what things they are into/ hobbies etc.... it might make it easier for people who don't know the person they are buying for. I think I know a bit about the person I am buying for and already know what I'm getting for them. My personal budget is £15 but I was wondering what the general consensus was xxx

I think it was agreed the budget was £5 plus then postage on top.

Dont know when the posting date is. Im guessing not for a cpl of weeks yet. I wouldnt mind posting up what I like but it might be more fun getting something random

Ok just for informational purposes i am into diamonds, cars and holidaying abroad. So should be easy for whoever is buying mine

i'm going for a random gift, i know from work people used to put top 3 things they'd like and it sort of killed it. BAndA ladies will appreciate anything i think, anusol selection box for jen xxx

Ok. I was inc P&P in that price too :0) I'll have another looksie and see what I can get for £5 I didn't know if people were buying something random or if they were wanting ideas for other members they might not know as well as others etc...

Yes defo some Anusol for Jen (I'm not sure grapes would travel well, they might be hairy by the time they get there lol) I wasn't thinking a top 3 type thing just a my hobbies are, I'm into, I really dislike type convo but I agree maybe random is better? xxxxxxx

Teehee..I got my SS name and I know exactly what to get! xxx

Ok well if we are being honest I would like a cruise in January, new clothes (A £1000 gift voucher for New Look/River Island is easy to post) and also a blue ray player with a wide selection of films.

Seriously though. Id appreciate and be touched by anything one of you guys took the time & thought to buy me. Be it something funny or something nice, I'l love it no matter what!

I like the idea of random presents! That said i am already panicking as i cant think what to get!!

21/12/10 is the last posting date 1st class in the uk

18/12/10 is the last posting date 2nd class in the uk

The person who has Jen last postage date to canada is 10/12/10 by airmail ,

The person who has Leanne last postage to denmark is 13/12/10 by airmail

i know you are both super efficient so it wont be a problem

Other postal services you can find the dates here http://www2.royalmail.com/christmas-last-posting-dates?tid=396&x=53&y=11

Will we all eventually reveal who bought who?

Thank-you Lisa :0) I'll defo be posting before the postage cut off date. I came up with a sort of random idea, if the person is on facebook, have a look a their profile and their "likes" see we can get some sort of idea as to what to get them :0)

I hope so, maybe when everyone has confirmed they've got theirs. Maybe even a guess who ours is from? (obvious if there is a Danish or Canadian postmark lol) x x x

Yeh!

I know what im buying mine already x

JEn has a clever way around the postmark idea

I should prob find a way round the post mark thing too - if its NI/Belfast you'l know its from me or Diane...

Iv no clue what to get mine. Dont even know if they on my FB. May have to trawl through their posts on here for ideas!

I think to get around the postmark is if you order something online then get it sent direct to the person you are buying for. Most companies ask for a billing address and a delivery address That is the only way I can think of to get around that x x

I promise I won't look at the postmark! I love surprises! But have figured a way to send the gift without any names attached. I am ordering my person's gift from a store over there online, and am requesting that all my info be kept secret due to the circumstances. Most stores are very accommodating. xxx

i am clueless what to get mine now the %$^& has hit the fan im stumped ,,, ah well off shopping see if can get a little idea x x I APOLOGISE NOW X X

Ill order on line to and get the address hidden. So exciting!

I'm not on fb and not sure people would be able to get ideas from my posts lol!
Hey I have a good sense of humour and I like Girly stuff. I'd actually be happy with anything!

I'm gonna struggle with my ss but it's all for fun so no pressure guys!!
X

yeh its just a bit of fun !!! I dont mind what i get Although Matt Cardle in his birthday suit with just a ribbon and bow round him would be fab

i dont mind what i get to be honest anythin i will like even if its toilet roll lol

i have no idea what to+get lol! Sorry if its poo! X

Lol I think alot of us hoped we get certain people and it didn't go that way!

It would be so much easier if it was buy the LO's. We all talk so much about what they are in to/up to etc but rarely what we like.

Nice that mummys get spoilt for a change though
I didnt get an easy one, if id got jen it would have been chocolate and lauraplus5 something dirty, a whip possibly
