Christmas is just around the corner, so Jennifer (QuestJen) and I have decided to plan together a Blogger Kris Kringle!
If you don’t know the basic rules of ‘Kris Kringle’ it’s pretty much where it’s sort of like an ‘anonymous’ Christmas present – where, you are given a name (which will be chosen by random) and you buy a gift for that other person without them knowing! And in the end, everyone will have bought for someone else and such. So, what we’re doing is something similar only ..we’re doing it through the mail and with our beautiful Aussie bloggers!
Unfortunately, this is only opened to Australian residents/bloggers as this is the first time we’re doing this. It would also make paying for an equal shipping price and getting the presents to each recipient around roughly the same time.
To sign up, all you have to do is fill out this form which will be posted on both of our blogs:
The due date to participate in this is 23rd Nov 2011 so that we can give each of you your Kris Kringle by the 24th Nov!
THE RULES:
1. You must live in Australia
2.The minimum you must spend is $10 with the maximum of $20
3. You must send the package by the latest 16th December 2011
4. Write your name/blog address on a card in the package!
Anyway have fun and try to enjoy the Christmas festivities and know your efforts will make someone smile!
But yes, on the 24th November, be sure to check your emails because either Jennifer or I will be emailing you the person you’ll be buying for, including their address and the things they would like to receive in their present!
Disclaimer: Your postal address will not be shared with anyone apart from the person buying the present for you.
I absolutely love participating in Kris Kringle and having no idea what you’re going to get and who’s going to get it for you!
I think I’ve participated in quite a few since I was in primary school and it’s always such a fun event so I really hope that all you Aussie bloggers enjoy this too! But yes, enter enter if you’re ready for some Christmas joy and present buying :D !
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to either ask Jennifer or I through comments or email!

But we’ll try make an international one maybe next year ^^” !
Hoooruh! I am going to enter the secret santa right now!
How exciting :D:D:D
Yayyyyyy! Super duper excited :D
This is a good idea ! :D Super excited ^^
Woo~! I’m excited about this tooo :DD
You just keep making me want to be in Australia ; 3; This sounds like such fun! Wow, this is crazy, but you just made me remember a memory from many years ago, I think I was 6 or 7 when we did something like this in day care or elementary school o_o Except it was Secret Santa! Or is that the same thing?? Except we did ours with classmates :D I remember trying to do this in middle school too, but for some reason it became EXTREMELY complicated and it was called off. ….I don’t see what’s so complicated about giving someone a present lol.
At the very least Melody, I would love to send YOU a Christmas present this year! Even something as simple as a Christmas card or a letter (since I remember you saying how much you love letters!) just to show my appreciation for our friendship in the blogger community! ^^ OH BTW I’ve been meaning to ask… how do you know if the messenger APP works on the iPhone?? I already forgot what it’s called now LOL! I installed it, but I didn’t see the app show up at all…? Isn’t it supposed to change the setup/layout of your messages? -confused- ; 3;
Much luck with Kris Kringle!! :D I hope you guys get lots of people participating and all goes well :DD
YOU NEED TO BE IN AUSTRALIAAAAA!
And yep! Secret Santa is just another name for Kris Kringle xD ! Ahah I don’t get how it can be extremely complicated! Unless there was one or more people complaining about not knowing what to buy or something @_@? Ehe.
and ktttttt, you don’t have to ;A;! But in that case, please let me send you something too! :D YES? :D But yeah, if you want to do a present swap thing or whatever, emailllllllllllllll ? :D ! And are you talking about ‘whatsapp’ ? It’s a separate application on its own – so when you enter it, you can message / talk through there to other contacts that have the same messenger ! (So we probably need to swap numbers too :P!) Although I’m not sure why the app isn’t showing up @-@? How did you download it? Through itunes or through the phone? Ehh.
YES I DOOOOOOOOOO!! ;OO hahaha
I have no idea either. Maybe were all just stupid hahaha :DD
Awww only if that’s okay with you?? I really want to send pressies to my close blogger friends this year :) My way of giving back, plus I actually have money this year ^^; OHH I found the whatsapp!! Stupid app, it like, installed itself 3 pages over on my iPhone O_o I didn’t even know that was possible… XD SO I have it now! :D I’ll send you an email! :DDD
yeoww i’m excited!
weowwwww!
Darn I dunno if I should still put in the form, cos it’s the end of 23/11 now…
Eeek I love having a kk, haven’t done it since high school :)
Love!
It ends at 11.59! So you still have like two hours-ish :D !
It’ll be heaps of fun if you still wanna join <3 !
I love this idea, I’m in !
Wooo just in time too! :D
Aww too bad I don’t live in Australia, I would have loved to participate in this. This is a really great idea though – I hope you and Jen have a great turnout with this event!
Yeah :( Maybe we’ll try host an international one next year! Not sure how it’s going to work though but hopefully it’ll be okay :D
Aw, sounds like a great idea! The last time I did Kris Kringle was in primary school. xD Which is uh a long time ago. I never knew what to get so my mum would always just get one of those stocking things with chocolates. S:
Awww, that’s still cute! I remember in primary school I always used to get a box of chocolates too! Since it was the easiest thing to get :S
[…] Kris Kringle Can you believe it’s Christmas next month!? Time to start buying gifts! As last year was such a success, Jennifer (Questjen) and I have decided to host our Blogger Kris Kringle […]
