Oh, I do love a Secret Santa!
When we were invited to take part in a Secret Santa I was keen to get involved as I do love the idea of these. There’s something special about choosing something for another family, so it was with excitement that I embarked upon the task.
We were given the following list of gorgeous gift ideas from the team over at Meadow Kids and asked to spend a little time researching and reading about the blogger’s family that we were secretly assigned to. By a fabulous coincidence, we happened to be given the blog of a lovely lady that I read regularly, as I was to choose presents for Donna’s LP and Little Man over at What The Redhead Said.
They should have received their gifts by now and I do hope that the children are happy with their surprises come the big day. Donna – did I get it right?!
Ali from Mum in a Nutshell was given the fun job of choosing for Boo and Little Man and I do love her choices….
To be honest, I know that the children would have been happy with any of the items on the list, as they are good quality activity sets.
Boo has received the Build a Stable bath time puzzle set. Boo loves her puzzles, and though I can’t see this one being too taxing for her, I can picture her playing with it once assembled and I know both of the children are always happy to receive new bath toys. They always add an extra dimension to bath time, and we’ve not had any new toys for the bath for some time, so this was a good option.
Little Man has got the About Town Wooden Stamp Set, which I know they will both love to play with. I like stamp crafts, as they’re great for creating pictures and scenes with very little mess or effort! Stamps sets are always a hit here, and I’m quite sure this one will be no exception.
I have now wrapped these up and I look forward to seeing what the kids make of them in a few days time!
Thanks very much, Ali, great choices.

Phew! I’ll pop over to you now then, thanks. And you, too x
Oh how exciting!
This is such a lovely idea. Fab gifts too. Wishing you all the best for the festive season. Xx
It was fun to do, lovely choosing for another family and then getting a surprise package. Thank you, and to you x
What a lovely idea!
I’m sure all of the little ones will love their surprises.
Merry Christmas x
It was fun! Thank you, and to you x
I always like secret Santas as it is often something totally different to what you would buy yourself x
Yes, it’s good to have fresh eyes and new ideas x
Ah what a lovely idea, I love secret Santa although one year through work I had the worse present ever and I had made so much effort with mine, I think the key is low expectations then you will always be presently surprised. Which this year I was x
Oh no, that is a shame. Yes, I think you’re right with that attitude x
