eve

two more weeks to get in, list has been update :)

its been updated again, getting a nice sized list :)

true, true, lol............... but @ least there are options.............. who knows, someone might stumble on a deal on "a nice convection toaster oven" :) u get name at begining of nov. plenty of time to look for deals.and heck, the person might be fine with spending more, who know? thats an easy list imho though, a new book or movie, a coffee mug, candy, perhaps tea and cocoa; choco covered coffee beans all on the list and would make a great gift, though missy, if u going to say u r picky about the mug u need to give more details................. theres actually endless possibilities with that list, i see lots of items that could be found and not break the bank. ok, everyone that emailed me should be signed up. I'll update again in a week or two :) hagda

i'll get you guys all hooked up......... be patient though i've got other stuff on my plate so im checking that email n working on it not as fast as usual, but will reply to everyone... as for likes, some people only put a few words to no words (basically just happy with whatever you ss gives) and some put lots of ideas (to give ss a broad selection to go by) and some put a few specific likes (helping ss but not as general) think about this.... its going to be in the $10 range (unless you get a ss that is really good at deals ), so it wont be a team jacket or kindle lol think about when you buy something for a friend/ family, what do you expect them to tell you for likes, now put yourself there, what do u think u need to tell a stranger that wants to give you a give??? some ss will even go through your posts to bet a better idea of who u r or look up your amazon wish list. (to give you an idea- me, when i did it, i sent something along the lines of, name & addy, like reading-esp. christian fiction (am a member of paperbackswap-eve252) like green, any n all flowers, am a vegetarian, no kiddos or allergies, please no candles, like Godiva chocolate and Mambas- basically i gave some details about what i like n what i really didnt want, but i wasn't too picky, i enjoyed what ever i was sent) in the end its whatever the ss wants to send you (over the $min) it may or may not be on your list, no, i do not want peeps to send Gift Cards!!!!!!!!!! real gifts!!!!!!!!!!!! unless it was listed in the likes here 2009 thread http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?151981-*-Official-Holiday-Exchanges-Thread-SEND-ME-DC-S-PLS* to get an idea

Have fun everyone!!!!!!!!! http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?228341-2011-Holiday-exchange&p=1859067#post1859067

OK, I'm going to host the:holiday10 2011 Secret Santa, :holiday03card exchange, and:holiday07 ornament exchange! If you want in, please E-MAIL ME at [email protected] by Nov. 1st with the following info: * Which of the exchanges you would like to join (can be one or more): - Secret Santa - Ornament Exchange - Card Exchange (maybe include your favorite cookie recipe inside the cards - you don't have to but i think it would be fun) * If you want to be an "elf" (an elf is somebody that will send out a gift if somebody else never receives theirs) * Your likes / dislikes (this is important) * Do you mind home-made food (such as cookies)? Yes or No - I ask this simply because some people love sending/getting this type of stuff, while others will not want to offend anyone but will only throw it away - a waste to both sender and receiver * GottaDeal.com Forum user name * Your Name & Mailing Address * Anything else you want told to your exchange partner... optional and not necessary Spoiler Please print or write info down that I send about your partner - that way you have it if something happens and you can't get online for awhile RULES: 1. Ornament Exchange - there's a MINIMUM of 5 before shipping and extras. If you choose to spend more, please don't be disappointed if your partner doesn't. However you must spend at least $5 before shipping. pls send a gift (no gc) unless the person says gc ok 2. Secret Santa - there's a MINIMUM of 10 before shipping and extras. If you choose to spend more, please don't be disappointed if your partner doesn't. However you must spend $10 before shipping. 3. Delivery confirmation is a MUST. Please E-MAIL ME at [email protected] with the DC tracking # ASAP after you send your package. 4. Please, no junk. Everything must be new and unused. 6. The very last day to ship is Saturday, December 3rd (if you cannot ship by this date you must ship priority ASAP as i have given plenty of time.) shipping early is welcome! 7. You CAN join one, two, or three of the exchanges - just let me know in your e-mail. 8. This is not a GottaDeal.com sanctioned event, so participate at your own risk. The site and it's owner are not responsible if you get ripped off. 9. Card Exchange - mail any time you want, but please take into account the holiday mail delivery times. FYI- you send a card to everyone on the list so if 50 people join you send cards to ALL of them, that example of 50 people would cost $21 in stamps 10. must ship in a box with padding, no envelops I don't want newbies to be upset, but it sucks not receiving your gift as well - sorry but it's true. So you must have been a forum member at least since May 2011 with some previous posting history, and ideally if you haven't posted much on here, you would have some kind of positive feedback somewhere, such as eBay. This is a general rule, not set in stone. I make the decisions one by one, and if you failed a past exchange on the forum, don't bother as I will kick you out. If for whatever reason I don't let you join, please remember my decision sticks so don't bother crying after. (btw post office often says you need to include return name on packages often, you can write sloppy or use a trusted family/friend add) Have fun everyone!!!!!!!!!

you can IF you have 9 other addresses (friends/family) that you can use... and yes it does look like only toys but never heard of such a thing so idk if itll work on anything else:confused:

my guess... you could put $40(or more) change into coinstar on the 9th. they will give you $40 in an Amazon ecertificate to use right away that i would imaging you could buy a target gc with. You also will have a promo number .... you have to enter it in the site, THEN they will mail you the $10 AMAZON PROMO... id say you might or might not be getting this part by Christmas..... but it does work out with buying gifts for others now and then you get the promo for yourself later same with the other places... you do $40 now get $10 of that promo later... you can do each once per name/addy. so you can do ONE $40 amazon $40 ITunes, $40 Borders, $40 Lowes, $40 Rixty, $40 Gap, $40 Starbucks, and $40 Regal.

also null message seems to mean at least one of the item in your cart is OOS (but you dont know which one). play around and you should be able to check out.

just got an email from coinstar. Cash in $40 or more and get a $10 bonus, works with AMAZON, ITunes, Borders, Lowes, Rixty, Gap, Starbucks, and Regal. http://locator2.coinstar.com/default.aspx Promotion Period begins 12/6/2010 and ends 12/31/2010 (11:59PM Pacific Standard Time) No fee for cashing in your coins for any of these merchants.
