Thank you for taking the time to let me know how you feel about the Secret Exchanges. I've been through all the replies and here is what most of you think
Wish to take part in the next Exchange. Yes
How often for the exchanges to take place. Most people said that they would like to take part in 3/4 exchanges a year, but they liked all the ideas of
Secret Bunny (for Easter/Spring)
Summer (before the Summer Holidays)
Autumn/Hallowe'en
Christmas Decorations Exchange (End of November)
Secret Santa
Obviously it is not compulsory for you to join in with every one of the exchanges, so you can pick and choose the ones you wish to join in with
To use Recorded Delivery. Everyone thought that this was a good idea and should be used. If you decide not to use this delivery method, then if the present should go missing then it will be up to you to replace the present
How much to spend. A lot of people said that it was difficult to find something nice for £5, so most people said that a limit of £7.50, before postage (and sticking to it, as it can be embarrassing if you receive something from someone who has obviously spent a lot more)
It was also suggested that we push the boat out for the Secret Santa to £10
Do you like suggestions of what people like/collect. Everyone thought it was good to have suggestions as it helped
So I am pleased to say that our next Secret Exchange will be for the Summer, for 21st June as this will be when Summer officially starts
Look out for the Summer Exchange, details coming in May
