Secret Santa the UK version!
Ok due to popular request we've decided to start a UK based Santa also. Please post here with your interest in participating in the UK to UK Santa this year so we can divide and separate it properly. The question list will be the same for both nothing different just in country only swaps. It's been a proper age since I spent £ in person so I'll need you lot to help me with your price cap to keep it reasonable with your P&P too ok? I'm excited that you lot will be participating!

Oct 07 12 10:03 am Link Ok you lot, it's been a proper age since I tried to use the Royal Mail inside the UK... What manner of time do you figure we need to give for shipping to arrive on time? I believe I'll be cutting the other SS to a ship no later than first week in December time frame, does that suit you as well? Oct 07 12 10:33 am Link Seems good to me hun x Oct 07 12 10:37 am Link From last time's questionnaire, a sample response Industry Job Duty- MUA hair & wardrobe Fave Colour- blues and greens Fave Animal- dogs Fave Accessory Item- scarves and hats A thing you collect- nail polishes Clothing Size- I like upcycling clothing so interesting things in many sizes Things you would NOT want to receive- am not fussy, although home accesories are a bit of a waste as I have no space for it lol your guilty pleasure fancy teas Do you mind receiving well cared for used items? I love the idea! Just some ideas of how we can use this again if the mass approves, let me know! Oct 07 12 11:54 am Link Hey, I would love to know what this is all about?

We've done $20 in the past but I am not sure what is a viable gift spending limit for you anymore (I haven't spent money in the UK in person in a proper age). Also PLEASE add UK to your Secret Santa PM title so it doesn't accidentally get mixed into the other group I'm trying to keep you guys in your own little empire as it were and if you could add that tag it would make my life infinitly less stressful! Thanks ^^ Angel Oct 22 12 05:32 pm Link A nudge back to page 1 and a reminder that we'll be closing joining the end of the first full week of November to give plenty of time for your Santa to shop and ship! Looking forward to all the fun you could be having? Remind your fellow UK artists and creative teams they are welcome to join too (just need to be an MM member) so we can make this event the best it can be!
