Holiday 2010 Gift Swap COMPLETE!

Sorry for the slight delay everyone; it’s been a hellish week for me. It’s time for the Holiday 2010 Gift Swap to get started!

PLEASE NOTE: It seems with every swap we get a few more people that can’t meet the deadlines. We all totally understand that life sometimes happens but PLEASE, if there is even a hint of a problem let me know so we can either plan to switch someone out or at the very least inform all involved of delay. Thank you!!

What it is: If you enlist, your name gets thrown into a hat. You will receive the name of one person, and someone else will receive your name. Your goal is to put together a small care package for that person. Letters, candles, incense, chocolate, bath goodies, foodie goods, craft-store finds, etc. Something nice to brighten his or her day. You might even get a new friend out of the deal.

Timeline:
October 7th, 2010 — Sign-ups open
October 31st, 2010 — Sign-ups close
November 1st, 2010 — Swapper notifications
November 15th, 2010 — The last day to notify me of a back-up need
December 1st, 2010 — Last Day to put packages in the mail

General Guidelines:
— All US domestic packages *MUST* have shipping confirmation/a tracking number.
— It is suggested you include at least 3 items in your package if you are getting smaller gifts; if you wish to send one large item that is fine too.
— General price range will be $25 – $35 total spent on gift items, though if you’d like to invest more, that’s fine. And $25 is not a mandatory minimum that you have to spend– if you’re good at crafts or you have a knack for finding thrift store treasures, that’s cool, too.
— Please, please, do not ask to participate if you are unsure about your ability to follow through on your end. Yes, there are generous people who have and will throw together back-up packages so that no one gets left out. No, that does not mean that it’s okay to flake. Please note: November 15th is the absolute last date to tell me that you need to bow out.

Got it? Good! 🙂

To participate, please fill out this questionnaire and email it to Traci at CrimsonVision dot net (please make sure to type out my email the correct way rather than just copying and pasting; trying to avoid spammers!), with the subject line “Windstone Holiday 2010 Gift Swap”

* If there are questions you don’t feel comfortable answering, feel free to omit them.

I will assign swappers/swappees and mail you your recipient’s questionnaire. I will also keep a list of swappers/swapees, so if someone doesn’t send their package, I’ll know, and will find some way to compensate.

Everybody, have fun!
