The Louis Vuitton Holiday Gift Exchange

What: This is a holiday gift exchange, similar to a Secret Santa. You will be randomly assigned a buddy that you will be responsible for sending one gift to. In turn, you will receive a gift from a different person. Please see full rules below for further details. You will receive notification of who your buddy is on 11/16/2007 to allow you enough time to shop!

When: You will be responsible for sending one gift to your buddy that has to arrive between December 1 – 24

Why: This is a fabulous way to get to know other members that you might not normally have a chance to communicate with! Plus, we’re all shopping addicts and it’s always fun to shop for other people!

How/When Do I Sign Up: Sign-ups will take place from November 1- 15. Please see full details below for how to officially sign up.

Complete rules (PLEASE READ!!!!):

1. After signing up you are responsible for sending one package/gift to your assigned buddy.
2. Total value of package/gift MUST be between $30-50 USD (or equivalent in Euros/Pounds, etc.)
3. There are no rules about what type of gift you must send. Be creative and be in the holiday mood ☺

Woohooo!!

Just to answer a couple questions for those who are new to these...

1. You can specify in Elfster your gender, religion/holiday observance, & any allergies you have. You can do this in your wishlist or under the 'Do not need' section!

2. You can participate in both this exchange as well as the tPF-wide exchange!

PM me anytime if you have any questions...or just ask here! I can't wait!!!!
