Ok ladies and gentleman...

Please reveal the gift you got and chit chat within this thread.

I'm going to shop for my buddy the next weekend...

And dear buddy, you're so going to know its me again. LOL!

Anyway, some little tips:

1)If you're sending overseas, declare the item with a low value. :) Some countries have ridiculous VAT and we dont want our buddy to get burn by it!
2)You can try searching the post that your buddy has posted to see what kind of stuff she/he likes.
3)Please dont send things that you wouldnt use yourself.
4)It's always nice to wrap them up nicely! (You dont have to do that... but it will be nice to receive gift that's wrapped.. some kind of surprise!!)

Hmm, any more tips from other raoker?

Thats all I can think of right now.

Oh how fun! Cant wait to see!

A good tip: flat rate boxes make shipping even heavy things less expensive and they get sent priority so the post office treats the boxes a little better - they work for international too :)

inlovewithvuitt · Sep 27th, 2009, 12:05 PM

Another important thing: Please take photos of the items that you received! It will really be nice for the person that's sending you :)

Another tips: You can try to look for items that dont weight alot but in in your buddy's wishlist (within your budget of course!) This will help you save on shipping too.

Barlow · Sep 27th, 2009, 06:52 PM

Hey inlovewithvuitt , are we supposed to take pictures of the boxes we're sending too and provide you with delivery confirmation info?

ShkBass · Sep 27th, 2009, 09:49 PM

i think we just provide delivery confirmation, the pictures are suppose to be posted by the reciever.

I bought a few of my buddies wishlist items tonight!!!!
Let's the shopping commence.

inlovewithvuitt · Sep 27th, 2009, 09:56 PM

^You ladies are fast!!!!!

Nope. Just have a delivery confirmation will do.. or at least a slip that shows that you've shipped it.

Barlow · Sep 27th, 2009, 10:06 PM

Could we have a questionnaire/form like some of the other RAOKs have? It's a good way to get to know your buddy and the other people in the RAOK better :)

angl2b · Sep 28th, 2009, 09:11 AM

I started shopping for my RAOK buddy too!!

Here are my answers to the questions.

1) What's your favourite past time? reading, listening to music, cooking (I have this on elfster too), shopping, I forgot what else I listed...

2) What's your favourite colour? blue & pink, with clothing I am conservative so blacks/greys/blues recently I have been expanding to "brighter" colors like fushia, red - solids only , haven't gotten to a lot of prints yet...

3) Anything that you dislike? I am very picky in general (it's awful)... I don't heavy scents, cucumber melon is light but it is a scent that actually makes me ill...I know it's weird.
I don't like animal prints (I am working on it, but it's not my thing), I don't like lotion - or rather the feeling of lotion...lol..
SORRY!!! I know I am picky, I am working on this awful flaw of mine!!!

4) What's your favourite cosmestic brand? Dior, Chanel, Bobbi Brown (for colors eyes/lips/nail color)
SK-II (Skincare)
SK-II (foundation #3)
La Mer (lip balm)
Shu Umera (lashes - I am still learning to play with them)
I don't wear mascara

5) Where do you usually shop? NM, Nordstrom, Saks, DKNY Outlet - but it depends on what I need - I don't shop that often for clothing, shoes, handbags...
Costco, Harris Teeter, Giant, Asian Markets (for necessities & groceries)
Janetstore.com, Sanrio (for cutsey stuff)
YesAsia.com (CD's/DVDs)

6) Whats your age group? (sensitive! but it's good that we know our buddy fall within which range) I am 30, I will be 31 in Dec.

RAOK buddy please feel free to ask me questions on Elfster, I know you probably hate me now...
