Duchess Dec 2018 9:59pm, 5 Dec 2018 7,808 posts	0 Duchess Does any other Santa get really nervous after they've handed the present over to the Royal Mail reindeer, that they've got it completely wrong and it's too late to fix it now?
1step2far Dec 2018 10:11pm, 5 Dec 2018 3,603 posts	0 1step2far Yes... which is why I've never been brave enough to do it before now. It's taken me a long time to find the confidence.
BaronessBL Dec 2018 10:17pm, 5 Dec 2018 7,382 posts	0 BaronessBL I had a little wobble like that last year which was my first FSS year but my recipient seemed to like their present and I absolutely loved mine - every time I post on here I hope my Santa has seen just how thoughtful I thought their gift was. I wobbled less this year for my recipient - but I think most people find the idea that 'a stranger off the internet' wants to buy them a present is such a nice thought that nothing will ever be 'completely wrong'.
DingdocMerrilyonHigh Dec 2018 10:29pm, 5 Dec 2018 25,589 posts	0 DingdocMerrilyonHigh I always worry, especially as the gifts I've received have always been so fabulous, but I'm sure I'd be just as happy whatever I received
Jambomo Dec 2018 10:43pm, 5 Dec 2018 6,737 posts	0 Jambomo I normally just hope that they like it but i’ve never got anything that I thought someone couldn’t do something with, even if it was to give it to someone else😂
Carpathius Dec 2018 11:08pm, 5 Dec 2018 15,976 posts	0 Carpathius Yes! I usually have to just go with whatever I picked and hope, otherwise I would never post it in case it wasn't any good.
Trin Dec 2018 11:11pm, 5 Dec 2018 159 posts	0 Trin I think everyone who takes part is just happy to receive a little gift from another Fetchie, whatever it is. I know I am. I hope mine is posted soon though
westmoors Dec 2018 7:03am, 6 Dec 2018 2,956 posts	0 westmoors I don't get nervous because it reflects how I buy all my gifts. I've always bought what I think the recipient (family, friend, fetchie) would like rather than something that's been asked for.
Night-owl Dec 2018 7:30am, 6 Dec 2018 31,908 posts	0 Night-owl Picked up my parcel.from the sorting office. There was a big queue even at 6.30. but collected. So thanks very much Santa 😍
