For Flora I am totally over the top girly for Noo I'm pretty easy going.

I'm pretty easy going for Noo he loves trains, trains, trains and pink trains did I mention trains? Woody. No dragons as they try to eat him
For Flora super princessy, fairy's, ballerina's she starts baby ballet in January if that gives you an idea of how silly girly I've gone.

@babygrowbelly Louise said on the other thread that is is OK to sign up tonight as she wont' be doing it all til morning and to just get measurements asap

I wont' be joining in this year - I'm a tad busy - finals (2 more sleeps ) , organising trip to UK, packing and moving out of house, organising removalist and storage

I do understand that that it is a bit quieter this year because people have less money than in previous years. There will be the DIY and we also have another Christmas swap in the pipeline that will cost far less than this one. So for those that want to be involved and haven't been able to on this one stay tuned

I've been trying to decide if I should join in since this went up and would have loved to but with three tiny's it would cost the earth and I wouldn't be able to pick just one of them

We need a swap for Mamas too! Especially for those with lots of kids!

Good idea. That's what the original DIY swap was for but that seems to have become gifts for either now. Also not everyone is good with their hands.

@teganplus2 - can you afford 2 lots of £25? I only ask as I did that one year and asked for £25 to be split between my older 2 (they got a WAHM t-shirt each) and then £25 to be spent on my youngest who was in nappies still. Might be an option if you can stretch to it.

Who the gift is to be for (child's name,age, build)
Caleb, 2yrs 7mths (in Dec) already been in size 3-4 for the last 3 months, slim and tall

Sorry but I need to give all poss measurements and I am using an existing top as Caleb doesn't stand still This is based on a 3-4 top from Sainsburys and it fits him now so not sure if a little needs to be added? Arrgh I am useless at measurements lol, sorry to my secret santa

Width on front - 13inch
From front neckline to bottom of top - 15.5 inch
From back neckline to bottom of top - 17 inch

Favourite colours/ones to avoid love most colours, not a big fan of orange though. Just to add no Pink (just incase )

Favourite themes/things to avoid I like most things, Caleb had a lot of Ooga last year so not so sure about that anymore, also please no baby cartoon type things such as baby animals. He likes Pirates, Dinosaurs, Tractors, Trucks, Cars (i think in that order too lol)
Embroidery yes/no/(examples if possible, personalisation ok?) yes that's fine, no names on clothing though please

Favourite fabric prints/designers will update as need to check who it is that I like

Anything else your fairy might need to know? Still can't decide if I like "tie dyed" look or not for him but have had some nice mixed colour bv tops (see i am all technical with this ), prefer not to have clothing from LLS and might be best staying clear of trousers as he doesn't seem to stay in them for long and I would love him to get wear out of his Secret Santa (yes I know what a blumming annoying secret santa recipient eh?! ) x

or just greedy Mamas that never buy for themselves anymore I realised today I was wearing a top I bought when I was 19 which was a while ago.
