Official 4th of July/Summer Gift Exchange

Hello everyone,

*Update - A lot of people have asked me about what to get their Secret Sam since most people don't know others personally. I thought it might be a good idea to do this: When I send out the confirmation e mails you will all need to reply to confirm your address and that you still want to participate. In addition to this it would be helpful to add 2 or 3 things that you like and also maybe include your shirt size if you feel comfortable.(some people have asked about getting T-shirts) (i.e. I like cats, butterflies, and rock music, I wear an XL) That way your Secret Sam can have a few clues. Hope this helps!

I know the Easter gift exchange just ended, but I would really love to give this exchange thing another try. But, I'm going to try to do it a bit different.

1st

If you would like to participate, please PM me your name and address.

2nd

On May 22nd I will close the sign up, and send confirmation PM's with your own address to every one who asked to participate. You MUST respond to the PM to let me know your still interested in the exchange and to confirm that I have your correct address.

I think this way it should help eliminate the problem of wrong addresses and people who signed up but then forgot to participate.

3rd

On June 4th I will draw the names to match people up, and that will give people time to reply to the confirmation PM's and then a month to decide what to buy and to mail it.

What do you all think? Would you like to give it a go?? We will be calling ourselves Secret Sam's. (courtesy of princess_n_thep)

*The idea of Secret Sam Substitutes has been brought up and I think it is an excellent idea. The substitute would send an emergency gift ASAP to any one who has not gotten their gift. The Substitute Sam must be an established and reliable member of LBT and check the LBT site daily for messages and postings. If you would like to be a substitute Sam please let me know in your PM. Thanks!!

Thanks! It's much appreciated!

Darn, I totally missed this thread and just stumbled across it today. I will have to come to the lounge more often so I don't miss out. :cry

The following people MUST pm me before tomorrow morning. If I do not receive a confirmation PM from you before tomorrow morning I will assume you no longer want to participate in the exchange and your names will be removed from the list.

Bummer missed out again..... that is what I get for not being attentive.:faint:

Alrighty, we got our list of people and I will be matching up names today, hopefully by tonight I will have you all PM'd with your SS.

  • Author

Alrighty, well every one should have their secret sams now. If there are any questions or concerns please feel free to PM me! Happy shopping!

i would sent it out at least by June 28th to give a weeks time for shipping, but feel free to send it earlier, I'll be starting a thank you thread soon so people who get their gift early can post a thank you.

I have to say that I am disappointed. I signed up early and gave you my new address and confirmed with you that I wanted to participate. I will wait for the next one. Guess it was a miss communication on my part for not letting you know that i REALLY wanted to participate.

tina, you can still participate, I have sent you a pm you need to respond as soon as possible please, because I don't have your new address. I never received a confirmation pm, nor the pm you said you send on may 10th. There must have been a problem with the PM's.

On another note. Some people were asking if they should include their name in their gift. I'm leaving it up to you. On July 4th I will post the list of who bought for who. You can wait until then to reveal who you are, or you can put your name on your gift that you send. It's totally up to you!

Thanks Josette...I just mailed of a package of M-80's. Look out Federal Prison..........HERE I COME!!!! LOL
