Have fun shopping ^^

xxx nathalie

CLICK TO ENTER YOUR STRAW --> [size=huge]click this link[/size]


When you click it, you are re-directed to the website.

There you see an empty space, where you can write down a wish-list if you want or a little message for your Secret Santa.
(no need to check any of the boxes you see on the right)

+ enter your home adress in it aswell !!
(no one else will see, only your secret santa)

When you did that, click on the button "lootje inleveren".


The next site you get is basicly nothing, so you can click it away.


You will also get an e-mail with a link in it "lootje aanpassen".
Which means, you can edit your wish list if you click that link.


Any question, just ask :)

2nd part, who did you draw?

Ok, so you need the e-mail with the big fat link in it, saying "bekijk het getrokken lootje".

Just click that link, and you'll know :D

There's a text box at the very bottom aswell, where, if you wish you can even ask a question to that person anonymous.
So if you wanna ask a question, don't put your name in it, and just click the button "verstuur".

Enjoy ^^

Ok people, draw straws :D

:gasp: My inbox has been invaded by Dutch e-mails! :p

Added my straw :D

Now, how many times in your life can you see that happen? :D

Added. ^^ I just hope the person who gets me understands what I meant. ;)

Oh this is so exciting! :D

That's pretty handy. :D

I'll leave the sticky up till around New Year, since it's about X-mas, or till after everyone got their pressy ...

So we can put up here aswell who got who, hehe.
(I ain't curious o_O )

Keep us posted in here who sended something and who recieved something ^_^

double post :s hehe

Also, Sharifu, do you remember what you checked on that sticker whenever you sended a package to me?

"other" of "gift" ?

Which is quite important, so you won't have to pay something extra when something arrives :s
I totally forgot about that :s

They charge more depending on what you check? I didn't know that... I thought for this Secret Santa you would just check "gift" since it is a gift... Although I don't remember what I checked for you every time... I usually check "gift", sometimes "other"... I didn't think it mattered, so I don't really remember what I checked every time.

Well technically you tick "gift" since that implies that no money is being gained in any way which is what customs are after...besides, it's a secret santa and they're all gifts anyway

No, I ment, if you send something to me, and it's not checked "gift" or "other" (can't remember which one), then I will have to pay extra costs.

But I doubt people will be sending out huge boxes, hehe.

Like Tiikeri says :)

You can have up to a certain amount under "gift" before they start asking for tax and such...but that's not until the total value reaches like hundreds or euros or whatever so it's not really valid in this case. As for "other" though I'm not so sure. I'd put "gift" to be safe.
