This is from her original post in this thread -

"I will pair you all up the second week of November that should give you all time to get shopping and time to send the parcel before Christmas"
 
Still can't PM Vic as her inbox is full.

Please can you add me to be a secret santa.

Thanks
 
If anyone knows Vic's email addy could they let her know her inbox is full again.

right my inbox is now empty, although I have no idea how long for.
 
My goodness, I hope you also have a long list of prospective Santa recipients.
 
Any ideas what rescues will want? I have plenty of ideas but don't want to find my matched piggys need/want something different...
 
Yay so glad this is running again :) I'm definitely in!
Exciting! Can't wait to start seeing the lovely pictures of recipient piggies - that's the best bit of all :)

Most rescues have a wishlist. Last year, vic provided lists of items most from the participating rescues, so we could look up what our specific rescue most wanted.

you needed to pm vics, but as she says her pm box is full, it works by her pairing you up with a rescue piggy, and when she has done that you will be sent an address and name to send your gift too, i am sure when she gets back from delivering the piggy she will get back to you x hth

I did this but haven't heard back - maybe I just need to be patient.

Nice that so many people want to join in :)

I saw some nice Christmas stockings for guinea pigs in Pets at Home.
 
Hellooo just wondered when will we receive an email about which rescue(s) we will be donating too? :) x
 
Vic needs to get a list of rescues and their piggies first and then match them up with people, so please don't get impatient and don't expect a receipt for your pm - it would simply take too much time! She is doing this in her free time anyway on top of fostering for the RSPCA Walsall.
http://www.theguineapigforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=77376 Here is the rescue side thread of the Secret Santa.

Vic usually sends out the assignment some time in November over the course of several days due to the number of people participating.

As to items you can send, there is also a list of useful items at the beginning of this thread.
 
Is it too late to sign up? This would be my first secret santa to a rescue and I really want to send something to make a piggy happy :) If there is anything specific needed then I will try to get hold of something (or maybe even try my hand at making something :... haha) along with anything else I will send :)
Eek so excited :) Do we see our piggies with their presents? That would be soooo good :<> xx

Send Vic a pm saying you want to sign up (and hope her inbox isn't full!). We usually do get to see pictures of the piggies with their presents - that's one of the lovely things about Secret Santa. Sadly one of mine didn't post last year, but I heard later that it did arrive.
 
hi vicky would it be poss for us to add The Potteries Guinea Pig Rescue to the secret santa we have so many piggies in and soon to be sponser piggies which would love a special prezzie from santa :)

We have Freddie and Furgus Furgus came to the rescue 2months ago very under weight and with a massive swelling above him privates he needed an emerg op as his gut and bladder had popped out of a hole in side his body, it was touch and go for a while, he has teeth problems too and to top it of he is blind in both eyes and is only 12 mths old he lives with his brother freddie who also has dental problems, both are white piggies so are poss leathel pigs.

all the things they have been through they still popcorn.

If santa could suprise him it would be so special for them as they will both live here now as a sponser.

The we have leo who is 4mths old who was very very under weight and has dental issues who will now live here.

Then we have samson who is 1yr old and his friend died and samson was starved he will be staying too x
 
For those who have been trying to send Vic a pm to register their names for the SS her inbox was accepting messages last night (sent my pm) so get in touch quickly folks!
 
Can I make a request to bhe matched with lethal piggies as they are especially close to my heart right now?!

Aww that would be awesome :) I'd love to see my prezzies going to make a piggy happy :D
I sent Vic a PM saying I would like to sign up, I haven't got a reply yet so I am guessing she might be busy :) x
 
I pm'd when Vic first posted here and haven't heard either, but I didn't expect to. I suspect she's busy making two lists - one of Santas, and the other of Rescue Piggies, and then she'll be matching them up, and only when that's all done can she write to us and tell us who we have.
 
Buy from www.cavycozies.com and support two rescues for the price of one!

Hello Everyone!

I've not been as active on the forum recently as I've been spending my time sewing!

For those of you who don't know me, for nearly two years now I have raised money for rescues by making and selling cavy cozies, tunnels, cage liners, snugglesafe covers etc and donating the profits to rescues.

In 2010 I raised around £1500 for four different rescues and sanctuaries based on this forum. So far in 2011 I have raised around £1385 for three rescues: Manchester and Salford RSPCA, All About the Animals Rescue and Rehoming and Honeybunnies based in Leicester.

This is to remind you all that if you buy your secret Santa gifts from me you will be helping not one but two rescues. I can either send the items to you or direct to the rescue. If you choose delivery to a rescue I can wrap your items and include a card.

I am going to start a thread in the For Sale section in the next weeks or so as I have four fabulous new fleeces and will be raising £500 for Windwhistle Warren in Gloucestershire when the final few pennies for Honeybunnies have been raised.

Check out my website here: www.cavycozies.com

Prices start from just £6.50 including postage to the UK for a standard cozy.
