Bopeep Posted September 22, 2017 Posted September 22, 2017 (edited) Hello All! It's time for the season of Giving! And by giving, I mean Secret Santa/Ornament/Greeting Card Giving! If you want to join in on the fun, sign ups will be accepted via PM only (to me, BoPeep) in order to keep everything more organized. Use "Secret Santa 2017" in the subject line. This is not an official GottaDeal.com event, so participate at your own risk. GottaDeal can't be held responsible if you do not receive anything. While I hope we won't be needing any please let me know if you are willing to be an elf in case someone does not receive their SS/OE package. Please include in your PM:1. Your forum username, your name and address2. Your email address, in case I need to contact you and can’t reach you through PM3. The exchanges you would like to take part in (Secret Santa, Ornament and/or Card)4. The answers to the questions below if you are going to be in Secret Santa/Ornament exchange5. Gift wrap preference (yes or no)6. Anything else you'd like your Secret Santa to know about youThe Questions...Are you male or female?Are you married?Do you have kids? If so, gender and ageDo you have pets?Are you allergic to anything?Would you accept homemade food (such as cookies)?Any absolute dislikes?Do you have any hobbies?Do you collect anything?Favorite Fast Food Establishment?Do you have a favorite candy?What is your favorite drink?What is your favorite color?Do you like lotions?

Secret Santa is just like it sounds - a secret exchange of gifts! There's a MINIMUM of $10 before shipping. If you choose to spend more, please don't be disappointed if your partner doesn't.2. Ornament Exchange is also just like it sounds - an exchange of ornaments! There's a MINIMUM of $5 before shipping. If you choose to spend more, please don't be disappointed if your partner doesn't.3. Card Exchange is also as it sounds - an exchange of holiday greeting cards. Unlike the other two, however, you send (a card) to everyone who signs up and you get (a card) from everyone who signs up! If you have a favorite holiday recipe feel free to include it with the cards you send out. There is no minimum or delivery confirmation but please understand that you send a card to everyone on the list so if 50 people join the exchange you will be spending $24.50 for postage. (The current cost for a first class stamp as of the time of this posting is 49 cents).4. Tracking (aka delivery confirmation) is a MUST. Please PM me the tracking number and how it is being shipped (USPS or UPS) so I can keep track of everything. If you send via USPS Priority it should be included at no charge, but it is always best to check for yourself.5. Insurance from the USPS is also a MUST. Check with the post office nearest you for the cost.6. Make sure your item(s) is/are properly packed and with plenty of padding.7. No junk. Everything must be new/unused within reason. Used books, CDs, and DVDs are okay as long as they are in a like new condition that you would be okay with receiving.8. The last day to sign up is Tuesday, October 31st (you have until midnight CT). I should have names out by Saturday, November 4. 9. The last day to ship is Saturday, December 9th. If for some reason you cannot ship by this date you must let me know ASAP and then ship priority.10. If you are participating in the Card Exchange please feel free to mail them any time but make sure to keep holiday mail delivery times in mind.11. You must be a member with some posting activity, in order to participate. This helps to make sure that only dedicated GottaDealers are participating and we have less of a chance of people flaking out. 12. Any decisions made by the exchange host are final. Each case or question will be given fair treatment and consideration; if you plead a case or ask a question and don't get a reply you like please don't complain. One last note: Please be patient if I can't get things done right away, but be assured I'm keeping track of everything. If you have any questions at all, please ask me.Remember, this is all about having fun. Now ready, set.... GO!
