I do these on other sites I am on (babywearer, craftster) and they are always loads of fun.
If you don't know what I mean it works like this.
Group of us submit likes/dislikes/ kids ages etc
You each get a giftee chosen who you make a secret gift for, either for them, or the DC's or the home using whatever crafty skills you have.
Everyone recieves a anonymous hand crafted gift in the post and gets that warm fuzzy feeling.

If you like the idea then sign up here and I shall sort a yahoo group or something.

Oh, and don't worry if you are new to crafting, My first year I sent a crocheted hat to someone, it took me a couple of days even though it was dead easy, but she loved it, it's the thought, not the skill!
