Swiss and/or Belgian chocolate (I fly through Brussels quite often) is very likely to make an appearance (as long as there are no allergies). I'm a personal fan of Favarger when I want uniquely Swiss chocolate (it's even Geneva based). Though Calliers is also high on the list.

Yes, everyone should indicate any allergies in their write-up to Santa!

Hello fellow Secret Santa's! I haven't participated in a few years, but was an avid SS for many years. I'm happy to be back and can't wait to start sleuthing!

Oh, well...
I'm sure someone would GLADLY make an exception

Looking at my schedule leading up to Xmas, I have decided to skip this year. A bit too hectic two months remaining

I hope you all have fun, and to be back next year.

Looking forward to this year! Daughter and I enjoyed choosing items specifically for our FT giftees and she truly appreciated being remembered by some of the Santas.

So I know assignments haven't gone out, but if anyone has a feminist in their life/Secret Santa gift list, the tote bag on this site is amazing: https://www.tduryea.com/products

I'm not sure if it says something about the Santas or my family that sometimes, the Santas do a better job of finding things for me.
