May SS?

[Red Rock]

Just so all are clear on my statement.

I just suggested it as an example of what might work. Yes, if you get specific they could run from $5-$20 US. Whatever is decided if we have to purchase many of them, I could see this becoming expensive. I do not think most would want to run up their bills on this. I don't know??? Because I have never been in on something like this before.

Perhaps I need some education in this matter?

It's like a Secret Santa exchange. Everyone who would like to participate puts their name in the hat - in this case PM the organizer with your name and personal info by a certain date. The organizer will then PM you the info from one of the other participating TE members. You only have to get(buy/make) for that one person.

Right now we're only on the preliminary stage where someone suggests doing one and people weigh in if they want a certain theme. Some of the ones in the past have been water bottles from your local LBS, sharing favorite books, coffee/tea from a local roaster/tea house, winter gear, etc.

Once the theme is decided than the organizer(s) will ask for a head count and ask for pertinent info. Like your size if it's going to be a t-shirt exchange.

I hope that helps,

I missed out on the coffee exchange. Planned on joining, but too late acting on that thought. So count me in this time. I'll submit a US adress in case of a SS from the States. That'll save her all the extra postage of mailing to Norway. Also, if she's prepared to be patient, I might mail my gift from the States in June, but then again ... why wait. Postage isn't all that exorbitant from here.

Last time I played I got someone out of the country, didn't even know you had to do anything special for that. Or maybe it was when we did the Christmas cards once and I found out. Talk about a shock when you don't know any different. LOL
I didn't mind but it was definitely more expensive.
Now I know what to expect. LOL

I just want to clear this up for myself, May theme means we shop for it in April and have it sent by May, correct?

I'm still looking for coffee.

OK, maybe I need to drink more of what's actually in my cup. Have thoroughly enjoyed the various exchanges, and the surprise prezees that have arrived in my mailbox. The coffee thing apparently didn't work - either that or she really didn't like New Orleans roasts and disappeared off the planet. Or the someone between here and there liked the coffee and it didn't arrive in her mailbox.

I'll quit grumbling now.

Another exchange?! Goodie! I likes my TE sisters
