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!!!!!!!!!
