Kris Kindle 2008

I've had requests to get the 2008 Kris Kindle advertising started, so here it is, get advertising......

We havn't recieved our letter yet, I will write some more blurb when we do. I am, however, led to believe that we are working in pairs as per last year.....

Update 29th November:

Well, our letter was waiting for me when I got back from a week in the middle east, and it seems the rules are unchanged from last year. It's couples again, and one assumes that everybody knows who they're buying for now. 100 Euros is the limit and those buying for Kid Sister and London Son, obviously, are to buy 2 seperate presents.

So, that's that, we all need adverts, nobody's got a clue what to get their chosen couple, and we havn't got a clue what we want, all suggestions greatfully recieved..........

Kris Kindle 2007

Has a year really flown past since the 2006 Kris Kindle post produced 90 comments and a huge amount of hilarity amongst the extended clan.

Well, this years letter has arrived and due to the fact that the the kris kinlde syndicate will be spread far and wide across Europe on Christmas day and not congregated in the hallowed halls of Beeston, this year it's organised for couples not individuals.

The rules are very simple, the price limit is 100Eur, this can be as one joint present or 2 presents, one for each partner. In the case of Kid Sis and London Son two 50Eur presents are expected, understandably and fairly enough..

The shopping is to be done as a couple and to involve plenty of coffee stops and thought is to be given to the delivery service (Our Parents, who will be touring europe bearing gifts),

As ever, it's all hush hush so nobody is to divulge or find out who they are buying for or who is buying for them. For this reason I once again open this yearly forum for subtle hints, suggestions, general abuse and hilarity.

Non-Syndicate members are also invited to come with suggestions, but easy on the abuse, as imaginations often need a little kick start..

Kris Kindle

The same day as "The other cold one" mentioned it in a comment to the previous post we too received letters marked "Personal" and with the inscription on the envelope "Don't shoot the messenger"

These letters were regarding this years Kris Kindle. This is, as stated in the letter, an effort to reduce the expense of christmas presents and shipping cost.... There are a total of 10 members in the Kris kindle syndicate, consisting of my siblings, our parents and respective spouses.

The idea is that each person is secretly and randomly (although I am informed you can't get your spouse) allocated one other person to buy a present for, maximum value €50.

The letter comes with the a set of 6 rules which cover non divulgense of chosen target, not complaining about the draw, not getting help from partner.

Rule 5, as mentioned by the other cold one, covers the nature of the present as not as some of those present on the christmas day have not yet started formal sex education.

Rule 6, covers the allowance of general advertising as "The other cold one" so eloquently begun with this Limerick.

To take part in a family Kris Krindle,
Makes the hair on my neck rightly tingle,
It should be close shorn,
but the clippers are worn,
and blunt as an old fashioned thimble!!!!!

So, to the purpose of the post, firstly, as a forum for the 10 syndicate members to advertise and secondly, as I have no idea what I want for the blog regulars to come up with some suggestions for what I might want.

For syndicate members, advertise through the comments of this post. Click on where it says x comments below, select other (for those of you who havn't got a blogger account), give yourself a name with which all involved can identify you by, write your comment and do the word verification thingy. Check in regularly and hopefully you will eventually get the information you require.
