It’s time for the Winter/Holiday 2013 Gift Swap to get started! Smile
PLEASE NOTE: PLEASE watch the deadlines. If you sign up and something happens that you can’t participate, PLEASE let me know by the 28th if possible! No matter what, if something comes up, at least let me know ASAP, so I at least know what is going on if arrangements need to be made, so no one is left without something. Communication is ALWAYS best! Smile
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. You don’t have to celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Yule, the first snow or any other holiday at this time of year to participate. You just have to appreciate brightening someone’s day. Smile
Timeline:
October 26, 2013 — Sign-ups open – DONE
November 12th, 2013 (Tues) — Sign-ups close at 8am EST – DONE
November 12th-13th, 2013 — Swapper notifications – DONE
November 27th, 2013 (Wed)– The last day to notify me of a back-up need – DONE
December 3th, 2013 (Tues) — Last Day to put packages in the mail – DONE
ALL packages have ARRIVED. Thanks for participating!General Guidelines:
— It is suggested that you use a method with a some sort of shipping confirmation/a tracking number. I understand that this can get quite pricey shipping overseas. If you’d prefer to ship within country, just state so (US and Canadian residents, unless we get a lot of other countries participating). It just saves headaches when packages go missing at this busy time of year.
— 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 28th is the absolute last date to tell me that you need to bow out.Got it? Good! Smile
To participate, please fill out this questionnaire and send me a PM here on the forum or email to me at ‘sifert dot brianne at alumni dot hartwick dot edu’ (please make sure to type out my email the correct way rather than just copying and pasting: I’m trying to avoid spammers!), with the subject line “Windstone Winter/Holiday 2013 Gift Swap”, just so I know that the email isn’t spam.

* 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! Smile
Yes, I know… I hate starting such things before Halloween, but the end of the year seems to move fast. Also, I wanted to give people a little extra time to sign up, as some people aren’t as active on the forum every single day or week and my schedule has been more than a little hectic this year as well. The ship times are relatively the same as last year though to help allow for international participants. 🙂
This sounds interesting and fun!
Would I be able to ship before the Dec. 3 date? I’ll be on vacation and out of town from 11/28 – 12/8/13, so would it be a problem to ship a week or so early (by 11/27)?
