Mudflats Holiday Gift Swap

« on: October 28, 2009, 09:04:16 am »

Back by popular demand!

Mudflats Holiday Gift Swap.

This year's theme is homemade/handmade gifts.

This Swap is for sending and receiving a holiday gift to/from a secret swap buddy. The theme is homemade/handmade gifts, but please note: the gift does not have to be made by you! Support your local small businesses, visit a farmer's market or a craft fair, or find something cool on the internet. Just be sure the total cost of your gift is $10 or less.

Several members indicated a desire to do an ornament swap. The Admins decided to make this swap as inclusive of all holiday traditions as possible, so the swap will not be limited to ornaments. However, in many cases an ornament would be a perfectly appropriate thing to send and members should feel free to do that if they'd like.

We ask only three things -

- That you follow the instructions below regarding how/when to sign up.
- You must send a gift to your swap buddy.
- You must send it ON TIME.

In the past, some of our mudpuppies have signed up for the swaps, sent out their gifts/cards, and never got anything in return or are still waiting for things to arrive. That is pretty upsetting to them, and to us who arranged the swaps. This is not a take only operation - you have to give to receive in return - that is why they call it a swap. Do not sign up unless you are happy and able to send your gift.

In previous swaps there have been people who could not participate because they missed the deadline to sign up. Don't miss the November 15 deadline to sign up.

Even if you have participated in other swaps, we DO NOT have your address, so make sure you follow the instructions and include it in your PM.

How To Sign Up -

You have until November 15, 2009 to sign up; this is a firm deadline. We will be sending out your swap info as soon as possible after the deadline.

You must send a PM to Santa Claus with all of the following information to participate -

(I suggest you copy and paste this section right into your PM so you don't leave any part of it out)

Your Name -
Your Postal Address -
Your Contact Email Address -
If you are in the US and are willing to send internationally (if you are in another country other than the US and you sign up it will be assumed you are willing to send internationally)-

DO NOT PM any of the Admins or moderators. The reason we are asking you to PM Santa Claus is because Santa has a sparkling clean and empty PM Box.

There is no need to reply in this thread, doing so will not sign you up for the swap, you must send a pm to Santa Claus to be included.

Sending Your Gift -

Please choose a homemade or handmade gift that is appropriate.

Your gift MUST be in the mail by November 23, 2009 in order to allow it to arrive before the holidays.

If for some reason you must miss the deadline, please inform an Admin so we can let your swap buddy know.

Our advice is to get organized ahead of time - start shopping/crafting now!

When you receive your gift from your swap buddy come back to the thread and tell us about it!
