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!!

My husband would be thrilled to receive that package. hahaha. My dogs on the other hand would not like it!

Don't send silly string either. I had some ready to ship to Cheri last time and my DH told me no....it's against the law b/c it was flammable. I love silly string and my kids love it too. :biggrin1:

Ok I just had to post. I decided to order my secret sams gift online so i didn't have to pay shipping charges from here to there....so i googled some things she said she liked, and I found a bunch of things on ebay. So i contacted one of the ebay people about making a gift basket and WOW momma!!!!! She did an awesome job. When this thing is over I'm going to post her contact for any one else who is interested in these types of things because this women went WAY above and beyond the call of customer service. I'm very impressed!! I'll post a pic after my SS gets her gift, I don't want to ruin any surprises. :cool: :D:)

I got my gift today!!!! It is 2 very cute moose figurines from mrycrltn.

Thank you very much. I love them.

Hi Everyone! I am so happy with my Sam Gift!:clap2: I haven't actually completely opened it yet because my husband is a photographer and I want him to take a photo of my basket and then photos of it opened with all the stuff inside. I can see through the celophane though and it is an assortment of Amy Brown Fairy matted prints and a cute little fairy charm. I will post pictures as soon as I can. Oh and I still don't know who it is from but I would like to know so please tell me if there is no note inside. Also, I sent mine out 2-weeks ago with a note enclosed so I hope my Sam got it. It hasn't come back to me so maybe she is just busy??:o

I just got back from vacation and my gift was waiting on me!!! I got a beautiful necklace and earrings from Penni!!! I love them!! They have the green emerald for my birthstone and are just perfect! Thank you so much!!

My secret Sam gift is going out tomorrow. I got a little behind because of vacation! I hope she likes it!!!

I think I really like these kind of gift exchanges!! :-)
