Next gift swap discussion & suggestions

[Crimson Vision]

Hey everyone!

So I’ve had a few people PM me with suggestions & requests on the next gift swap. It started out with the suggestion of a Valentines swap & a few people suggested Easter to give people more time to recover $$-wise from the holidays. I was thinking maybe we have a ‘Spring Swap’ and do it in the middle of March? That way we can give people a little more time and make March a little more exciting for all!

Thoughts?

Also, I think I put forth a pretty thorough list of questions for the Holiday swap; should we change or add any? I will make sure that no one gets the same person they did in the Holiday swap but I wanted to see if anyone thought we should edit it at all.

Ok, what do you think?

i think a spring swap would be great! i wanted to be in on this past one, but didn’t think about it in time.

I agree with Daydreamer!

You know, a Spring Swap sounds like a good idea. It helps for people to ‘recover’ and if they don’t celebrate
Valentine’s or Easter this would be ideal. The questions you did for the Christmas swap are okay–pretty much covers everything. These are so much fun and it’s amazing what you can get for $25 or so! Seems like everyone who got their presents are pleased and–we won’t be battling the holiday mail and bad weather!

That sounds great! Totally missed the Christmas swap, I have an ironic bad habit of ignoring stickied threads…

Sounds like an excellent time to do it, with a good deal of recovery time from Christmas festivities and such.

The list I saw seems excellent. Two things that might be nice are…
A section that inquires as to preferences for handmade arts and crafts,
In the music section, an inquiry as to favorite artists

Then perhaps a double section like…
Luxury Items you already have too many of:
Luxury Items you can always use more of:
Practical Things you already have too many of:
Practical Things you can always use more of:

But it’s hard to say… It seems perfectly good as-is, and adding too much would make it awkwardly long. So it’s up to you guys.

I liked it as is, but I won’t mind if more questions are added. 🙂

Winter Spring Summer and Fall??

[Melissa]

Summer would be especially nice, there’s no major holidays then! (Well, July 4th, but it’s otherwise alone.) 😕

I look forward to a Spring Swap!!
