I’ve wrapped everything and found a suitable box to send it in!
I’m in the same position. I’ve got a box that will do but it’ll need a lot of padding and I don’t really want to emulate Amazon’s packing style 🤭

Ahh, I am in the process of wrapping. I never thought I would be so worried about whether the recipient would be happy with their gift. I didn't really factor it all in when I asked Geordiegirl if I could take part

I have enjoyed it regardless 😃

Well done Brutus I have to confess my FSS is one of my favourite gifts as I really work on finding something I think someone would like rather than having a ‘I’d like this please’ list.

Me too geordiegirl. I hope my recipient likes their gift. I had a bit of a panic earlier when I thought I had been stalking my elf rather than my recipient but all OK now!

I’ve ended up with 3 Secret Santa gifts to give this year - family, friends and Fetchie.

Two are in hand, and one I still have to sort out. But which one?

I don't know how Fetchy Santas do it, but every year so far my FSS gift has been one of my absolute favourites that I'm lucky enough to receive.

I think it’s taking time to learn about someone & finding something you feel they’d like. I’ve never had a bad one & I’ve had lots of amazing ones. My victims have always posted positively which is brilliant.

For gifts for everyone else I buy it’s because we know they’ll like it or indeed on a wish list. Love FSS

About This Thread

Maintained by geordiegirl
If you’d like to take part here are some instructions for the 2022 edition of Fetch Secret Santa:

1) Send an Fmail to geordiegirl with the name and address you want your parcel sent to by 1st November.

Please indicate if you’re ok to post to an overseas fetchie.

2) We don’t have a group now so I’ve added a tab to the spreadsheet for hints tips and allergies. Link here Spreadsheet Link Here docs.google.com

3) Be Involved..... Please try not to go AWOL the buying of a SS gift is a lovely thing to do but going quiet on the thread/blogs can make it difficult. We’re not asking you to be specific but a few hints around what things make you tick, what you like / enjoy makes it that bit easier and hopefully gets you something you would like.

Of course the main aim is stalking so subtle hints are fine!

4) if you have allergies or particular dislikes then feel free to put them in the group.....

When you receive the details of your victim:

5) Stalk said victim and determine their interests.

Hint.. you can see what threads your victim posts to by typing the below in Google or whatever

VictimsFetchName site:www.fetcheveryone.com

6) Purchase gift(s) you think they will like, we have suggested £10 but up to you and remember handmade gifts are perfect too. It’s the thought that counts.

7) I’m suggesting you post the gift by 1st December as this has helped a successful SS in previous years & we do have to contend with postal strikes this year too. But you can also add an update to the spreadsheet and keep your elf updated so we can let your victim know they’ve not been forgotten. If you are posting overseas please bear in mind it can take longer than UK post.

8) Wait by your post box for your gift.

9) Sit on hands until the big day! No cheating!

On the big day:

10) Open your gift and share with everyone what you got on the thread.
