    September Secret Sister

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    K ladies,

    Got me secret sister's name today.

    To make it easier could i ask people's colour preference(s) and if they like a particular type of shirt?

    I'm sure that someone out there will guess right away who thier Australian ss is when they get thier parcel...tee hee...

    there are an awful lot of us.

    I am ready to accept whatever shows up! girly teeshirt, regular, any color!
    that's kind of the fun of it; i think; we're going to get something completely different.

    Yep...50 people in all!

    If anyone would like to ask a question of their SS, you can PM me and I'll ask them for you, to keep it secret. If so, please be specific with both your question and your answers because I don't want to be going back and forth. I'll do one exchange per sister...if you'd like.

    Oh, and be patient with me. I no longer can do this from work (except at lunch) so bear with my response times!!

    I do agree with Mimi too though...suprizes are fun so if you don't need to ask...don't feel like you should.

    I like surprises. I will like it no matter what because it was picked out for me.

    I also will be happy with anything I get!

    I've already started putting my gift together, and I'd hate to have to go start over if I learn that my SS has a horrific aversion to bright, bright, orange (My SS is either going to laugh hysterically or think I'm totally insane when she gets this local-themed package - although don't worry SS, only one thing's orange!!)

    Re "package" - no, a big production isn't expected (although I'm sure appreciated). My sense is that some people do more, some people do less. Based on prior discussions on this topic, my recollection is that there's no specific limit, but most folks spend $10-20.

    My ss is a few extra time zones from me this time, so a couple extra baubles may make it into the envelope, er "package".

    I love surprises too. It's fun to see what the other person will pick out just for me

    I hope my SS can wait. I am going to a ride in the third week of September, and would like to get an extra T-shirt from it, if I can.

    Nanci:

    That's a great idea -- We're doing a ride on 9/23 -- It would be great to see if I could get an extra t-shirt for my SS.

    Good thinking!

    As for me, I love the fact that my Secret Sister will get me something I'd never buy for myself. My horizons expand every time I open a SS package.

    That's the fun of it - for me, at least.
