If you’re not feeling Christmas yet, feel free to scroll on by! No Scrooges welcome!
I know its early. I know. But hear me out.
Last year, I organized a homemade gift exchange event! By September 1st, I had my names and numbers all lined up already! I was going to wait until September this year to talk about it at all, but that left me feeling aaaaall kinds of justified, hahaha! So here we are, talking about Christmas!
This blog is to inform you that I’d like to organize another homemade gift exchange!! Its basically a secret Santa, homemade style! The only one who knows who has who is me, and the only reason for that is because people from all different places signed up last year, and I wanted to be able to be the middle man where people needed help with little details. So it was me who pulled names and told everyone who they had. Then, closer to Christmas, I gave everyone the option to mail or drop off their gift, or they could deliver it to me and I could bring it where it went. I’m VERY willing to do a day of running around closer to the day, picking up and delivering gifts.
Last year, we had 22 people, I think. Some are excited for another year, and others are passing this time around. There is NO burn on me! But I really hope we get some new meat this season!!
To be clear, not everyone is local. I want people to be able to participate if they want to! So my stipulations for people outside of the Saskatoon area are that the gift needs to be mailed in the first week of December, ideally with tracking. I’m also willing to help with the cost of postage, because I want EVERYONE who wants to participate to be able to! If you do request assistance with shipping, I’d prefer your gift to fit in an expresspost package so I know the cost ahead of time, as well as having the knowledge it’ll arrive on time.
Last year, there was decor, canning, baking, crafts, crochet, art, jewelry, and many other things exchanged! It was SO FUN!!! Please join in! If its even just a little bit intriguing, message me! I’d love to talk you into it 😉
I’m in. Such a cool idea, Hailey.
Yesssss!!!
