So sorry to hear sallykate and Rae are still waiting for their FSS pressies. I'm looking forward to opening mine, to hopefully hearing that the one I gave has been opened (and that the fetchie like it) and also to seeing what all the santas that I was Elf to gave their recipients.

I'm planning to open mine tomorrow morning before family comes.

Sorry that Rae and sallykate haven't got theirs yet. Our postie has been great. We're on pretty friendly terms, especially since OH made a metal bracket for him to repair his garden bench!

We're not quite *that*close to either of our posties -

we have one for letters and one for parcels.
We used to be closer to the parcel guy, Ed, but he retired a few years ago. The new lad is also very nice though.
The lady who does the letters also u lives locally and has a dog, so we often see her around when she's off duty and exchange a few words.

I don't think it's down to either of them that my FSS package didn't make it, it will have got held up at the sorting centre because of the customs charges.

It happens a lot - I used get a notification via the app that I need to go collect it from a post counter and pay the charges, so I would do that, then a week later I'd get a card through the door saying the same thing even though I went and collected it the same day I got the notification 🤷
doubly annoying - they only hold things at the post counter for a week before sending them back, so if I had wait for the card there's a chance I'd miss it.

These days I can pay through the app and it'll come straight to me rather than being taken to the post counter, but it always takes longer than I feel it should between paying and the thing actually arriving.

Thank you to my FSS. I said gin and chocolate, and that's what I got, plus a mention of the Stripey one 🐈 and a lovely card. Merry Christmas everyone 🎅

Aw, good stalking :)

About This Thread

Maintained by geordiebells
Instructions for the 2021 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) Join the group linked to this thread (I have recycled 2020 group so please update with a 2021 at the start so we know it is current)
fetcheveryone.com/groups-view.php?id=1296

If you joined last year but don’t wish to partake you can remove yourself from the group.

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. But it’s also ok to 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.
