Gift Exchange!

Im still ever so patiently waiting for my buddy to reveal themselves to me - lol ok maybe not so patiently - ha ha

cant wait to see who it is and what they send me for my babies!!

the suspence is killing me!

I got my package today from Gliderma...lots of toys for the little ones to play with...and a super cute and soft sack to carry them in...better then the boys camo print I had been using for them...Thank you soooo much....I can't wait to play with my gliders with all the toys...

Hugs,
Jeanne

Glad you like the cube.
I'm still waiting for my gift. Hope it comes soon.

I got my gift quite some time ago but it wasn't from who my buddy was, so I was confused as there wasn't a card either. Turns out my buddy was jaydaszoo and she had April make up a cage set for me. It is very cute in blue & green with frogs & flowers. Thank you! Gifts should go out by the 15th, so please let me know if you did not get a gift or at least hear from your buddy.I don't know how to post pix here or you would be seeing it!

sorry Gliderma - I could have swore I stuck a card in the cage set that said it was from jaydaszoo on it - maybe it fell out? check the pouches it should be in there somewhere!

ha ha

tee hee hee... Buddy! Your stuff shipped today! start watching the mail!!!

BWAH HA HA HAAAAAAA

Some of my buddies stuff is going out tomorrow. I'm waiting till the last minute because some of the stuff I ordered hasn't made it to my house yet. Even though I ordered it as soon as I found out who my buddy was If it doesn't come tomorrow my buddy will be getting two boxes.

Hope everyone is accounted for and has received or sent a gift by now. I would like to do another one for Christmas, as several people have said they want to participate next time. Who's in?

I'm in I'm in yay!

Im in for sure

question though - is our buddy the same person we sent stuff to? I am still confused by the whole process - lol

I am in too!!

No, your buddy is not the same as you sent stuff to. They are all mixed up

K buddy, the first half of your gift is coming Start stalking your mailman!

I'm in again....and great news...I got 2 babies in pouch....they are just tiny so not sure how much longer till the come out...but still very excited...

Hugs

No you did not necessarily get the person who was your buddy. With this group being so small, it was bound to get matced up that way with some. My daughter put all the names on a list and put them all in a bowl and went down the list by drawing out a name for each one on the list. Hopefully we will have a bigger turnout next time. Do you want to do it again, and if so, should we keep it open to any type of gift or make it a holiday theme?

I think its great a number of people have expressed interest in doing another gift exchange in the future - however I would personally prefer it not neccessarily be a christmas gift exchange as I myself dont celebrate christmas - majority kind of rules though - if you all want to do a gift exchange by a certian date - like before December 15th or something that is perfectly fine with me - my conscience will allow me to be involved - I guess I consider a gift exchange to be a gift exchange no matter when it happens to occur - that's just my two cents - however if everyone else wants it to specifically be a christmas themed gift exchange I can just sit it out too - not a big deal - I am sure we will do many other gift exchanges in the future!

Thanks

I don't think we should do a theme either just for that reason (not everyone celebrates)....even though I have a few really cute Christmas ideas

How about we leave it up to your buddy to choose from the wish list you post, like this one has been? I didn't necessarily mean it had to be Christmas gifts, just an exchange around Christmas. For those that want a Holiday themed gift, they can post it so your buddy knows. Has everyone gotten their gift now? When would you like to do the next one? How bout
Nov 15 thru Dec 1st for sign ups and then gifts by Dec 15th? Is that ok April?

I haven't gotten a gift yet, and I just barley sent part of my buddies gift today. They should receive it by Saturday I got part of their second part of their gift today (if that made sense) I'm just waiting on the last and will send it ASAP.

sure gliderma that sounds like a great idea that way it can be open to whatever is preffered by each individual -

I still haven't gotten my gift yet - not sure who my buddy is its still a mystery - lol
