Birmingham Twitter Homemade Secret Santa

Homemade Pillows....

Some friends in New Zealand are involved in a massive 700-strong Twitter secret Santa. I think it’s a great idea, and thought it was the kind of thing the people I know from around here might be interested in doing.

Reluctant as I am to organise anything (and as much as I should not ever be put in charge of anything), I thought I’d see about organising something a little more modest for folks around here.

So I hereby announce ‘Birmingham Twitter Secret Santa’. Or #brumsanta for the sake of a hashtag.

But times are tough, so I thought it would be nice to add a home-made, handmade element to it.

Rather than spend a maximum of £5, you spend a maximum of £0. The gift you give should be something that you made. It can be a cake, a mixtape, a handcraft of some kind, perhaps a voucher for some sort of service or kindness you can perform – or anything that you know how to do.
