While I am starting off the new round, I regret to say I need someone to take over the RAOKS. I will not have time to look after both the RAOKS and the swap box for the near future. If no one wants to, I will still continue but I'd prefer to let someone else take over.
75 Minimum this round.
Please post where you will be willing to ship to!
Please read all the following, since all participants will be held accountable by the rules below.

----------------------------------------------------
**Important dates to remember**
May 27th: Sign ups begin on this date
June 13th: Sign ups end on this date. New participant survey must be in by this date and all Elfster requests must be accepted!
June 21st surveys to the person who sent you must be completed and sent via Elfster
June 14th: RAOK buddies will be drawn by Elfster.com. Soon after the drawing you will be sent your buddys information.
July 18th: All packages being shipped internationally must be shipped by this date.
July 30th: All domestic packages (within your own country) must be shipped by this date.
----------------------------------------------------
**Important Information**
* One package is required: The package must contain new, unused (tested) and unopened beauty items.Do NOT send anything that may be old or expired! The total package should be worth at least $75 or the equivalent in your currency. The price point does not include shipping fees.
* TRACKING is required for all gifts: Once you have your package all wrapped up and ready to go, please make sure that you purchase some form of tracking. This serves as a proof of shipment and also will help you and your buddy in case the package gets lost. Tracking information must be PMd to me by the shipping deadline. Proof of shipment by sending a receipt scan is okay in international countries where tracking is not feasable.
* You MUST post pictures of your package: Once you receive your package from your buddy, you must post clear pictures and description of it. All of us want to see what goodies you got!
* Elfster.com: Elfster is the website that we will be using for this Raok. Once I get your sign up information and email address, you will receive an invitation to join the RAOK on Elfster.com. This website helps us organize things and also will be the one who ultimately picks your buddy! Elfster is also where buddies can ask questions and/or chit chat without revealing their identities.
*Wishlist Requirement: When building your wishlist in Elfster ensure that you have added both items you want as well as items you don't want (please list brands, types of products). Please review the list to ensure that items you have received in previous RAOK's are no longer listed, and be considerate to your buddy who is buying for you and try to add items of all price ranges so they can appropriately select a variety of items to gift you in return.
* No vacationers. If you will be away from home for more than 1 week per month...don't sign up. Gifts have to be mailed and reveals posted in a timely manner as described above, and vacation plans may interfere.
* The Angel System is in place for MISSING gifts: The angel system that was used in the previous RAOK will also be used in this round. I hope that we wont have the need to use it though! If someone does end up flaking on their buddy, all members will be required to contribute to an angel package with a value of approximately $75. At 12 members, this would be $6.00
**Replacement packages for lost gifts must be mailed out by 3 weeks from first shipping date for domestic and 6 weeks for international gifts.
*Participate in the chat/reveal thread. Participation in the chat/reveal thread is REQUIRED. We all know what it's like to get gifts, it's a wonderful feeling, but this RAOK is here for more than just the experience of getting a gift but giving and watching others receive as well!
* One of the benefits of this RAOK is that we get members from all across the world. The reality of international buddies is that we are at the mercy of two separate postal systems. Please note that delays may (and CAN) occur if you have an international buddy who you are gifting to or receiving from. This means that we encourage these participants to be extra patient in giving and receiving their gifts because of the distance and time involved. If this is something you do not wish to have, please state so with your questionnaire.
