I'm annoyed that I won't have a postal address in time to participate but I already have some great ideas for gifts I could send some of you! Maybe I could join still and send my gift on time but the person sending to me an be someone who never ends up posting by the deadline anyway, hahaha. Lumi you can, you can still take part. The person who gets you to send a gift to just needs to remember to send it later. You can still let the Elves know when you DO get an address because the ELVES like FATHER CHRISTMAS never stop working!

You twisted my arm, Netsuke so I'm in! I will be able to provide my new postal address by the end of November (we should easily have found somewhere to live by then) and of course it's no problem if my secret santa doesn't post my gift by the deadline (so no worries if whoever you are are on vacation by the time I have an address or don't have time to get to the post office etc). I like nature and natural products, quirky stuff, bright colours, thought-provoking things... lots of stuff really. I am not a big fan of fridge magnets though (sorry!) because they're something that represent a place I have personally visited. I'm sure to love whatever it is that my dear secret santa chooses to send

ah, maybe I should tell my secret santa a few things about what I like.
my favourite colour is red. I like anything related to food or crafts or culture or environment. I like useful things as opposed to dust-gatherers.
so yes, I should be easily pleased by what I'm being sent.

Dear Secret Santa, I love anything handmade, books, coffee, chocolate, fridge mags are fine, don't really wear jewlery, do wear scarves. Hobbies are watercolour painting, gardening, knitting and food. I'm really happy to receive anything you pick out.

To help Secret Santa I like hand made stuff, chocolate, things which you can't get elsewhere, hats, bags, scarves, bracelets, favourite colours fuschias, reds, corals, bright colours but not blues or greens, natural hand creams, things that are useful, not dust collecters.
But to be honest, I'll be chuffed with whatever you send.

Dear Secret Santa,
my favourite colours : red, green, blue, lilac/purple. My interests are travelling, swimming, cooking, photography. The type of books I like to read are travel guide books and cooking/ recipe books, especially if it's a traditional recipe book from your country. I love chocolate. I like bags and small coin purses. During winter time I love wearing berets and knitted scarfs and gloves. I like mug coasters with pictures or landscapes from your country. I am not into fridge magnets nowadays.

Dear SS
I like citrusy colours (yellow, orange, lime, red), live in a country that has very strict quarantine rules about food (but chocolate, coffee, tea and "processed foods" like lollies (sweets), biscuits (cookies), dried fruit are all OK - just no seeds, meat or dairy really), have hobbies that relate to all things food and gardening and will love anything you send (except maybe fridge magnets - they're not my thing, really).
Thank you!
It's exciting to be part of this - I loooove secret santa around the world.
