Description

The listing, Christmas Present for Child from Us + 1st Ever SECRET SANTA GAME! (optional, bid not required) LQQK! has ended.

This listing has 2 parts - a nice gift for my winner AND an optional SECRET SANTA EVENT that you can sign up for right here. ALL of this is for all the kids in need out there!!

PER THE RULES, HERE IS WHAT YOU ARE BIDDING ON: You will get a present for your child from us. This will include Brand New & Sealed Hotwheels / Hot Wheels cars, a baggie of silly bands, and some other fun toys to make a neat little gift packet for your little guy OR girl, plus some stocking stuffers to add in there too. We'll also make a handmade card from all of us.

And my second part to this is my newest idea. I know there are LOTS of kids here who don't have lots for Christmas, not just mine. And I also know there are A LOT of angles who want to help out too. This is my idea.....

Sign up here to enter any child you want into the Secret Santa Game. They can be your kid(s), or someone else that you know is in need. For each child you sign up, you will be responsible to also send something to that many kids too. Example: I will sign up my sons Aiden and Patrick, and also my stepdaughter Lily....so that means I will be matched to and required to send to 3 other children (since I will get gifts for those 3 children).

I WILL EXPLAIN MORE ABOUT THIS IN THE COMMENTS SECTION. For now, lets keep the focus on the actual listing here. Remember, its stated above what the winner will be getting - it will be FUN and that child will get a neat gift to open from my kids to them, which is always fun :)

FREE SHIPPING USA ONLY!!

PLEASE SEE COMMENTS FOR SECRET SANTA DETAILS!! And remember, you don't have to bid to play in the secret Santa - you just have to agree to all the rule (which include following through, keeping your word, and having fun in the spirit of the holidays!!).

~ Tara ~

PS: Sorry no raffle this time, have to catchup on my last one & finish up the artwork. I haven't contact everyone yet with the results, but almost everyone won at least something! Will contact soon!!

Questions & Comments

This is an awesome thing that you are doing! good luck to everyone, and everyone a Merry Christmas!

I would LOVE a wrapped present and I can wrap the present that. I am sending out to. I am also considering to sign my hubby up, but I don't know if there is other males out there or other females who would by for a male and if I do sign my hubby up, I don't want to be matched up with another male, LOL. Just keep me updated, Cant' wait for the list and please let me know if I should sign hubby up

Dec 1st, 2010 at 7:32:33 AM PST by

RANDOM IDEA: I am thinking about posting a coke cap 10-days at a time after this closes, with "Secret Santa 2010 Updates" in the title each time. That way people can watch and keep track of when stuff is going out and when they get things. Would that work??

Dec 1st, 2010 at 6:23:53 PM PST by

Thats a good idea since dealing with PMs can be a nightmare. :)

Dec 1st, 2010 at 7:37:59 PM PST by

if it's not too late, I'd like to sign up for three please!

Dec 1st, 2010 at 7:53:20 PM PST by

might be, only 34 minutes to end of auction! :( Sweet idea though!

Dec 1st, 2010 at 7:54:04 PM PST by

If I can get in, can you please send me a note with the sign up? Thanks!

Dec 1st, 2010 at 7:54:34 PM PST by

You can still send a form to ribbitribbit26@gmail.com

still taking signups til tomorrow!!!!!!!

Dec 1st, 2010 at 8:07:54 PM PST by

as stated above - YOU CAN SIGNUP FOR SECRET SANTA UNTIL TOMORROW.

BUT you gotta get the whole thing to me correctly and on the first shot - all info including mailing addy, form filled out (with names, ages, and wishlists), AND if you will use DC (and if new, that you agree to newbie rules) :o)

Dec 1st, 2010 at 8:09:00 PM PST by

If I wasn't new to listia I would for sure sign up for this. I have a 5 year old with learning disabilities and a 3 month old and I am a single mom. and unfortunatly my kids won't get Christmas this year because I cannot afford it,

sorry baby playin with keys on keyboard, can we wrap the secret santa gifts or does it have to be left unwrapped?

Dec 1st, 2010 at 7:00:14 AM PST by

lol no worries. i think wrapped would be more fun but if the people sending cant do it, we cant complain. i'd love to get mine wrapped too and just save them for christmas under the tree. its up to each individual.

Dec 1st, 2010 at 3:41:39 PM PST by

Sooooo glad you are feeling better!!! & what a fabulous idea hun!!!!!

thanks hun - glad things are better there too!

ANOTHER SUGGESTED IDEA: I got an idea from a great member on here signed up already. She wants to sign herself up, but in a more interesting way. She'd like to receive a NICE Christmas present for her from another member that is WRAPPED and a nice SURPRISE - she wants to open it on Christmas so she has something under the tree that's a surprise for her. Thats EXACTLY how mine is too. I put everything under there and there is nothing for me except the kids smiles so I am 100% down for this idea! They have to be EXTRA GOOD, I'd say, since its a surprise til Christmas and likely one of the only presents for us mamas. So if anyone else wants to do this - as their signup OR as an additional one to send - let me know! I will match any of these with each other, so those getting a nice special wrapped gift will also be sending one. ANY TAKERS just message me :)

Nov 30th, 2010 at 1:30:14 PM PST by

MULTIPLES! Since there are lots of us sending/getting more than just 1 package - I am NOT going to make someone who has - say - 8 people signed up send to 8 different places! I will do my best to make sure you only each have to send to a few different places (more of course if you have a lot more....so if you've got 8, expect to send to maybe 4? no promises yet! but will do my best to save us ALL on shipping!!) If you signed up just 2 or something, if matches permit I will try and get you to only send to 1 place (you know, like 2 of the person's 8) Okay, I am getting wordy and likely confusing so will stop while ahead. I hope ya'll catch my drift :)

Nov 30th, 2010 at 12:10:46 PM PST by

Oh, I can't wait for my matches. I love shopping for kids, females and pets, LOL. Teens and males are harder though, :) i already have some neat stuff brand new that my kids never used and I can't wait to go to the store, I always find the sales and make it cheap for me, but not to the family I am sending it to, Plus I alsways add a few extra goodies, LOL. Hopefully Tara can find 1 or 2 families for my 5 family members that signed up because that would defently save on shipping. My hubby said even if I don't have the money I LOVE to internet and window shop. Please keep me updated as I get paid Dec 5th and if I don't get these items and send them off while I still have the money, it will be gone ;( LOL

Nov 30th, 2010 at 11:47:24 AM PST by

Oh Jen hunny you always seem to make me smile :) I will make it a priority to keep on top of this Secret Santa 2010 - its my baby and I'm gonna treat it as such (but someone else has diaper duty, I'm out on that one lol jk jk of course). AND plus we have my awesome hubby Mike backing me up just in case so it'll happen and happen good!!
Signups are going AWESOME. I would LOVE some more to get in, though! Refer over your friends if you want to - the more the merrier!
I can also take more newbies to add into my newbie selection (ya'll are all sending to one another).

DELIVERY CONFIRMATION info is crucial - if I do not hear back from you saying YES or NO I will assume no and you will have to be paired with someone else who said no. So far, I think everyone has said yes and that's very very very smart.

NOTE ABOUT MULTIPLES will be coming next, to answer one of your questions/ideas, Jen!

Nov 30th, 2010 at 12:08:27 PM PST by

BIG CORRECTION!!! So, I meant to say matches will be sent the day after listing ended which would be DECEMBER 2ND, and NOT NOVEMBER 27th. While I checked my calendar and grabbed off the number, I looked at and used 27 which was right above the 2. Sorry about that, definitely the haze/fuzz on that one. THANK YOU jenjaredjoey for pointing this out for me - I am going to be not-as-on-the-ball sharp for a few days yet likely so PLEASE feel free to help edit me or correct me, anyone anytime!!

Nov 30th, 2010 at 10:43:09 AM PST by

AWESOME TURNOUT GUYS! This morning had a lot to go through, but am caught up with it. Here is our list thus far w/ the member names only (multiple folks per person except for a few) so we've got lots AND lots room for more - the more we get, the better we can match people. THANK YOU miss tweety for offering to help when/if needed (likely will be more like WHEN needed, not if lol). We shall be in touch. Below is our updated list as of Tuesday morning!!

That would be cute.

---Also, i'm sending a messgae now for you (:

Nov 29th, 2010 at 8:09:36 PM PST by

alrighty, waiting on form now - thanks!
