Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Hello all - are we doing FSS this year? I know that several people who are usually heavily involved have a lot on their plates so if it’s not already underway and if there’s interest and if I’m not treading on any toes I’m happy to take it on. (Might need some technical tips but I’m sure that won’t be a problem.)

I think it has managed to slip between the cracks as everyone is rather busy...I was thinking the same thing too. I'd be game to help out too.

You know I suddenly thought about this yesterday but not sure if we’re a bit late now as we normally aim to post gifts early December.

I am afraid I can’t Santa as work is ridiculous then I’m also away on holiday not back until 3rd December

That said if we can make it work I would join in.

Okay, I think it’s a goer :-)
I’ll set 10th November as sign-up deadline with 7th December as postage deadline. Thank you for the elf offers, I’ll be in touch once we know who’s taking part.

About This Thread

Maintained by Mandymoo
Have just pinched this from last years thread just to get going :-

It’s early but we have to be organised so here goes.

If you’d like to take part here are some instructions for the 2023 edition of Fetch Secret Santa:

1) Send an Fmail to Mandymoo 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) Join the group linked to this thread (will work out to do this)

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.
