The Inaugural HFO Goodie Swap

[pat]

Tacky, inexpensive, and fun are the general vibes I am getting!

As a rough guide:
$20US = $24AU
$20US = 11GBP
Like I say, this is a rough guide (rates curtesy of HIFX currency converter),is this amount ok with everyone?

If so, PM me or Divia with

1. Your internet name, proper name and address
2. Are you willing to post overseas.
3. Amazon wishlist if you have one.
4. Fav colours, time, scent, interests.
5. Tacky or book.

If you want pot luck....make sure your name and address is correct and leave the rest blank!


Good Luck!

Pat.

*PM's Divia with my details!*

Admin: If you want a new thread for this, please move it!
Divia: If you have anything else you can think of, please add!

If people have online book catalogues, it might be good to supply the details for that if you are opting for a book gift - might help with avoiding doubling up.

[Divia]

We could start a thread about the swap and it has people's book catalogs in it. I dunno how everyone feels about that though.

[Vanessa]

What's a book catalogue? Do you mean like a wish list of books?

[Divia]

Yep I mean wishlist :o

[Susan]

I'd like to do this, but right now I have students' papers all over the couch and the floor and I need to spend more time on school work. What is the time frame to respond?

[Divia]

I didnt think there was one. I thought (but I could be wrong) that if you wanted to do something nice for someone you could send them a surprise by PMing Pat or I and we would give you their address.

Some wanted to do it for the holiday season and some just wanted to do it whenever.

[pat]

What if we say the first swap is for Christmas? This gives people time to shop and send. How does that sound?

[boswellbaxter]

A holiday-time swap sounds good to me.

So is there any particular way to pick someone you swap with? Do Pat and Divia throw names in a hat and assign, or do we just pick somebody according to whatever, and send them something? Is there a list, like at a bridal registry, where someone can say, "no, so-and-so already got them the toaster, but the need for towels is still unmet? Or maybe, 'these names were taken for this period, but these folks still haven't heard from anybody?

Just trying to figure out who gets my cardboard-backed Christmas wreath of green-and-red laquered llama turds.:D

I think the best way is me and Divia giving you the name for you to send too, there will also be their likes and dislikes.

Must remember to tell Divia that I am not keen on llama turd wreaths.... :D

[Vanessa]

Funny. LOL.

[Ash]

In the other forum we told the organizers that we wanted to participate. She would then match us up anyway she chose (usually with names in a hat).

I think that's the best way to do it, if we choose someone, some people might get 5 parcels and others none.

Well, this whole party just might get interesting :D:p:)

[SonjaMarie]

I'm in.

People should note on their list of likes and dislikes if they're allergic to anything like peanuts or medal.

[pat]

Just make sure Divia or I get your details and preferences or dislikes (llama turd wreaths?) and you will be taking part!

[Divia]

Oh, thats a good point. I never thought about the allergic stuff.

[Misfit]

Good point. Can people allergic to animals have reactions to items that have been in a pet rules household?

[Ash]

I have a friend with four cats, and she loves to cook. She calls cat hair a condiment.

If anyone else wants to take part in the Goody Swap please PM myself or Divia asap as names will soon be drawn!
