I make diy frozen. Last time I went to make it I was out of half the ingredients. That sucks.

My daughter and I both participated in the first Secret Santa. We both received things we asked for. I am pretty sure my daughter received everything on her wish list lol.
I was able to give several things to my person, but there was some similar interests and I could make/sew/draw several of the items. If people do not put down many interest, hobbies or things they like, it is a lot hard for me because I am not good at randomly picking out gifts (I over think things sometimes lol).
My suggestion to anyone participating is to make an extensive wish list with a variety of items (both interest and price). Even if you don’t get things from that wish list, it still gives people a good idea of your likes. I am also not opposed to getting used items and list that just so people that option.

Hi,

This is my first year on S.S. Personally I would not worry about what was given and what was received.

Corny I know. I think everyone has a different take on what to give. I get a stuffed Nemo fish I’m happy. I give a year supply of salt I’m happy. It’s what matters to you, not what you think will matter to someone else. You may have gifted another that felt it was a great gift, or even overboard. It’s the thought that counts is also corny, but I like to think for most it rings true.

Also, I ran out of AI HD lights the other day :)
Who doesn't like a Mystery package especially at Holiday time ??

I think you can do anything, last year people sent homemade things, you can even send extra live stock. I'm doing this so everyone can get a little something, just more giving!

+1

I’ve been growing turf algae and aptasia so I’m ready to give at holiday time.

Also so people are aware, I'm glad we are getting more people but most likely for the common stuff I'll put it in baggies. I'll just buy I big bulk thing and split it up with people for stuff like carbon and salt.
Hope that's okay!
I'll make sure you get plenty though!

BTW if you posted something on here but didn't answer I'll still put you on the list for drawing but I can't promise I can send you anything else since IDK what you need, but I may send you the most popular answers since I'll have the most of that stuff

This is awesome! I love the holiday cheer! Past few years things have been busy at home and we didnt set a tree up last year. This year I'm away from home so I figured I would join in on the festivities with the wife's help of course!
For me it's test kit stuff, either it's expired or i run out of reagent. When i ran filter socks i realized to late that they were still in a bucket waiting for the wash ;Eggonface
