Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Thank you Santa! I don't know how to do a photo but I got a set of lovely vegan bar soaps. I could smell them through the packaging, so I had an idea, but actually I could only smell one of them and there are in fact seven different ones! How to pick which to try first....

In other news, the well meaning hamper buyer strikes again. I love that he thinks to buy me a vegan hamper, but I do wish he wouldn't keep buying that particular one. 11 items in it. 2 I will actually enjoy, 2 I'll eat because it would be a shame to waste them, 2 I simply have no use for (eg tea bags - I just don't drink tea) and 5 I actively dislike (olives, coconut, orange flavour...). Should I tell him? Or just give most of it to the foodbank as I have done the past two years? It's way too late on year 3 of receiving the same thing, isn't it?!

That’s such a shame CC2 you could maybe say the hamper is appreciated but your tastes have changed and a lot of it you struggled to use and maybe suggest an alternative for future - very hard though.

My most generous friend was a bit more reserved and all gifts were fabulous esp loved my hoodie blanket

About This Thread

Maintained by geordiegirl
Instructions for the 2021 edition of Fetch Secret Santa:

1) Send an Fmail to geordiegirl with the name and address you want your parcel sent to by 1st November.

Please indicate if you’re ok to post to an overseas fetchie.

2) Join the group linked to this thread (I have recycled 2020 group so please update with a 2021 at the start so we know it is current)
fetcheveryone.com/groups-view.php?id=1296

If you joined last year but don’t wish to partake you can remove yourself from the group.

3) Be Involved..... Please try not to go AWOL the buying of a SS gift is a lovely thing to do but going quiet on the thread/blogs can make it difficult. We’re not asking you to be specific but a few hints around what things make you tick, what you like / enjoy makes it that bit easier and hopefully gets you something you would like.

Of course the main aim is stalking so subtle hints are fine!

4) if you have allergies or particular dislikes then feel free to put them in the group.....

When you receive the details of your victim:

5) Stalk said victim and determine their interests.

Hint.. you can see what threads your victim posts to by typing the below in Google or whatever

VictimsFetchName site:www.fetcheveryone.com

6) Purchase gift(s) you think they will like, we have suggested £10 but up to you and remember handmade gifts are perfect too. It’s the thought that counts.

7) I’m suggesting you post the gift by 1st December as this has helped a successful SS in previous years. But it’s also ok to add an update to the spreadsheet and keep your elf updated so we can let your victim know they’ve not been forgotten. If you are posting overseas please bear in mind it can take longer than UK post.

8) Wait by your post box for your gift.

9) Sit on hands until the big day! No cheating!

On the big day:

10) Open your gift and share with everyone what you got on the thread.
