    :o at the risk of sounding like a cow/throwing a spanner in the works...
    I think secret santa would be better if it was only mummy gifts, we could just be given an address with no name to send our gift to then it would be more like a proper secret, no?
    We could have a fun challenge for the gift then too, apologies if everyone hates the idea

    Just PM what you want. They have been given to me but we dont really need them as A has tonnes of clothes as gifts.

    :( I cant log on to FB for some reason

    Relish - that did make me laugh SS

    You know the vouchers that come through with Tesco baby club etc that have your name on - have fairies taken them to other people and do they work...I know Beenies Boots ones did for me..... its just I keep getting Huggies coupons and we dont use them? Sami could be more for you if they work??

    It was just that when it was an option, most people were saying they'd like to buy for mummies (so they get a treat) but would like to receive for their babies (because they're worth it).....(sorry borrowed some quotes from the messages)

    So I had all offers to buy for mummies but requests for gifts for babies....

    If people want it changed though, just let me know and I'll change it all.

    I've used other people's named vouchers in the past. It's worth using your keyfob tho so they can't tell it's not your name!

    Bingoporters - I thinkI know what reason they're going to give for our vouchers being rejected....one of the rules state that you can only redeem bingo winnings, not points from the forum. I suspect altho we have some bingo winnings it's predeominently made up from posting.

    I feel exactly like this!!

    I would like to buy a treat for another mummy, but I would rather Benjamin had a gift than me...

    Maybe just babies?

    Personally I think what you have done is lovely - a little gift for both with a sensible limit.

    I also think it is better if you know who you are buying for - I hate buying 'token' gifts, I like to really think about what the person I am buying for would like/need.

    I agree MFD on both counts - I would like to get something for mummy and baby/babies, and would like to know who, so I can stalk all their posts and find them something awesome.

    :j for baby smiles Bexta

    and JM I think that's one can. I bought a case of black food colouring and it said 6xweight in the title.
