would you all be interested in...

When I have done them in the past, we called it a swap fairy and everyone involved filled out a questionare included in it was all kinds of info about yourself for the person shopping for you. Taste preferrences, scents, candle person or not....

I think I have one still and can get it if it is needed.

I think doing a survey like this is a great idea!
 
keep emailing me, guys! once the 13th hits, i'll figure out final rules and let you all know.

RIGHT NOW, people seem to be quite comfortable with $100 limit for the first time around. and 2 months seems to be good for everyone (or even 6 weeks). if this goes well, everyone seems to be willing to up the limit.

to answer new questions i've gotten in emails:
-NO, it doesn't have to be all coach stuff. small accessories are cool- use creativity with the rest! get to KNOW the person!
-you can always choose to go over the price limit, if you wish. but jsut realize the person who has you may not be able to do teh same.
-if you commit to this, i am trusting that you will stay involved the entire time. if someone flakes out, i'm sorry.
 
Yay Kallison! I had the same thought a few months ago but, since I was almost never on here at that point, didn't think it would be well received from a newbie. I'd forgotten about it till now.

COUNT ME IN!
 
alright guys...looks like i'm gonna be home sick tomorrow, so i can get some stuff figured out then.

i need you guys to VOTE now:

cost
a. $100
b. $125
c. $150

length of time
a.one month
b.6 weeks
c. two months

you can pm me your answers (cause i'll just tally and delete and im holding onto the other stuf)

and if you haven't sent me a first email with wanting to join in, you can still do so: [email protected], and put RAOK as the subject. we actually have about 25 right now!
 
hey, i send out elfster invites to a handful of you...accept them and when a few of you accept, i need to talk to you real quick (sorting out some stuff!) thanks!!!
 
final invites are being sent out TOMORROW via elfster (thank you to those who already responded, but you'll be getting another one, lol. i messed up!). please read the rules before agreeing!

RULES:
1. The value of this exchange is about $100, total (including shipping). You are more than welcome to spend more, but that is your choice. We are starting off at a lower limit until we see how this goes. This is an easy amount for most people to come up with and a good price for a trial run of this! If you cannot commit to this amount, please wait until the next round.
2. We'll be doing this until April 1. There are only TWO dates you need to be aware of (March 5 and March 26). At these dates, you need to have sent out a “larger” package to your buddy. The time in-between is when you can send cards or smaller little pick-me-ups (this is where that dollar section at Target comes in, lol!)
*note: items do NOT have to be Coach. At this price limit, that will be VERY difficult to do. if you're interested in Coach things, try the outlets (!) or eBay for small things. You can be creative! ;)
3. Feel free to ask questions via Elfster. Get to know your buddy on tPF!
*once everybody is assigned a person, we can do some questionairre type things in this thread.
4. In the case of someone feeling “hurt” (for whatever reason), do NOT lash out on tPF. Whoever is sending to you is doing their best, please respect them. You can vent to me, but please refrain from making your frustration public information.
5. If, for any reason, you are unable to fulfill your requirements, contact me IMMEDIATELY and we’ll figure something out. Backing out, in most cases, will prohibit you from participating in future exchanges (for the sake of fairness).
6. HAVE FUN and remember this isn’t about going broke and finding expensive stuff for someone. It’s used to cheer someone up if they’re down or to congratulate them, etc.

THANK YOU ALL for your willingness to participate!!!
