Roll up, roll up! Bloggers Secret Santa now open!

After the Christmas card swap I organised last year and a mini-Twitter survey that I conducted the other night, I’ve decided to organise a Blogger’s Secret Santa this year. The card swap had a really fantastic reception and even though this will require slightly more effort, I hope people fancy getting involved!

So, without further delay, I now introduce you to the Secret Santa with a twist:


I wanted to organise something that didn’t cost people a lot (if any) money and a second-hand Santa seemed to be the way to go. Maybe it’s a vintage brooch, a pretty scarf you don’t wear any more, something you’ve made or drawn or some curio you’ve picked up from a car boot or jumble sale. Just remember it should be anything you'd love to receive yourself!

Here are the details:

1) Please email me at myneonlights@hotmail.com with your name, address, blog URL and any information you think might be relevant to your Secret Santa.

2) The deadline for sign ups will be one week from today, Sunday 13th November and you will receive details of your Secret Santa by Monday 14th November.

3) The deadline for posting gifts off will be the Wednesday 14th December so you'll have 1 month to find something!

4) You can include a card if you like but remember it's secret! I'll reveal the list after Christmas.

5) Make sure your present is wrapped and labelled so that your giftee knows it's from their Secret Santa

6) Your item must be sent by recorded delivery. For an extra 75p, it can be tracked and traced if needed. When you've posted it off, please email me with the tracking number.

7) I'm afraid this Secret Santa is only open for UK residents as the presents can be easily tracked.

If you have any queries, you can either leave a comment here or email me at the address above!

  24. Hello,
    If it's too late to join I understand, but if there's still room, it sounds like a really sweet idea. I'd love to trawl the charity shops in search of some unexpected thoughtfulness.

    Take care and thanks for organising this regardless.
