2011 Holiday Gift Exchange

Happy Holidays!            :santahat;

This is the same post as last year... thank you whoever wrote it (Kitkatz)       :-*

Attention: Members with less than 50 posts must be approved before you are allowed to participate.

Here are the details:

--- This is a "Secret Santa" type of exchange.  I will randomly draw names to assign people. You will not know who is sending you a gift. You will only know who you are sending to (you can identify yourself in the package.)

--- Gift(s) value should be around $10.00-$20.00, but no less than $10.00 (USD - sorry don't know the exchanges for different currency).  As far as what the gift should be, that's up to you.    You may want to research your person's posts to try to get an idea of what they may like.

Use this thread to list your likes and dislikes, allergies, etc. to give ideas as to what your Secret Santa might send you. (Worked well last year, I see no need to change it now)

--- You must sign up by PM'ing your info to me (Rerun) NO LATER THAN October 20th. To be included on the Holiday Exchange list you must send me your snail mail address and phone number (optional).

--- Names will be drawn and announced (by PM) on November 2nd.

--- Gifts must be mailed out NO LATER THAN November 23rd, and sooner if you are sending overseas.

If you want to participate, please PM RERUN your info.  We will have copies of all the mailing addresses, and of course whoever is sending you a gift will have your address, but it will not be posted publicly.  I will not send out phone numbers, those are for office use only.

Please use this format in the PM: 

   Screen name
   Real name (first and last)
   Complete mailing address
   Phone number (Optional)
   If you are willing to sending a gift overseas (it may cost a little extra for shipping)
   Outside of the US must have a phone number.

We will post a final list of who is participating as we receive the information.

If you sign up for the exchange and fail to send a gift you will be banned from IHD for 90 days.   :popcorn;

If you have any questions, please post in this thread or PM RERUN.

Those who participated last year had a blast!
