Anyone up for Secret Cycle Sister?

Great! I figured with the change of seasons that it was time to do it again

What exactly is a Secret Cycle Sister? I searched previous posts and didn't find any threads.

You know, the whole secret sister started out as a sock exchange, and then a water bottle exchange and was really fun, but it seemed like it got out of hand. People were thanking their sisters for gobs of stuff, which had to run $50 or more. I liked doing it, but I think there should be limits. Sock exchange and throw in a few treats (cliff bars, Jelly Belly Sport Beans), but not socks, shirts, a Rivendell bag AND a new car.

Anyone else notice this?

Secret Sister is where you get someone assigned to you and then you get them something $10-15 to go with a theme. Theme is just a guideline, price is also a guideline but don't go overboard, it is more about something fun and thoughtful than the price tag!

I've participated in two secret sister exchanges. The first one was great, but on the second one I didn't get anything. I wasn't expecting anything over and above, but it still stings just a little when the person assigned to you bails and doesn't at least offer an apology.

Sorry...guess it still stings a little.

Anyway...if you say you're going to participate...DO IT!

Did you contact the person organizing it? Maybe your address got transposed or something...

I contacted the organizer when I hadn't received anything after a few months. She contacted the person who said something about heading out to ship the package, but nothing after that. I guess the address could have gotten transposed, but wouldn't the package have been sent back?

It just feels bad to be left out.

It's not an isolated incident. We were doing secret sisters every month for awhile. Lots of people had months where they didn't receive anything, and there were a couple of times when I couldn't find out if my package had arrived. (I started using delivery confirmation then). I don't remember who has organized it in the past, but maybe you could have a dialogue with them about it and what is involved.
