Has anybody ever suggested doing a small gift exchange here? On a few other boards I'm on they do it and its really fun. Would anybody be interested in setting something up? We still have time to drop our packages off in the mail before it really gets busy. Thoughts or opinions?
I want a retread on my new teefs and FULL PRIVILEGES RESTORED HERE. I still have to log out and back in to say anything. How stoopid is that?
I was thinking along these lines a few days ago. then the CRS kicked in until now. Id be down for it. Would think the first there would have to be a pool of names complete with shipping info to somehow electronically draw from
Yeah... a mod telling us who to gift??? So these kids took a paper sack filled with dog **** and lit it on fire at a guys door and rang the doorbell and ran. The guy comes out and "stomps" the fire out; yeah. Mods. COAL doesnt work the same way. Now back to the opium pipe... ws
We have board members all over the world, so shipping could be pricey to countries like the UK or Australia.
it could be digital gift if the sender was in another country. There might be a app for this already set up
How it works Elfster's online Secret Santa allows you to set up your Gift Exchange quickly and easily. Invite people via email or sign up link, or download the Elfster app to invite via WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, or text message. Make a Wish List to share gift ideas. Instantly draw names. Share in the fun! Start Your Secret Santa That's already to complicated for a lot of board members, and only 5 people are posting in this thread.... But the idea was nice!
Id do another thread with a more enticing title. Have the group set up on that site and a sign up link and a deadline. Say, be in by 5 Dec and draw a name and ship before 10 Dec. Then maybe after members that participate can post up what they got. The following year will have more interest. I for one am in and have a gift ready to send.
If the Mopar board can organize and do it im sure we can as well. Let me post up the rules and ways they do it. Ho Ho Ho!!!! Hello and greetings fellow FABO members. Its that time of year again, sign up begins today. Please read the rules below. If you have any questions feel free to shoot me a message. -A gift of $20-40 is the norm, if you want to spend more feel free but do not expect the same in return. Shipping cost is on you the sender, and please do not include that as part of the gift. -Must have a minimum of 25 posts, by the cut off date. -Somehow mark your package before you send it, that its a Secret Santa Gift. For example FABO SS on the outside, etc.. In the past gifts had been opened accidentally because they did not know it was from Secret Santa, and thought it was there Summit Racing order. :lol: -Once you receive your gift in the mail try to wait until Christmas to open it, I know its tempting, but the excitement and anticipation are worth it. -Even if you cant wait to open your gift, please do not post what you got until around Christmas. You can post a picture, thank you, etc... in this thread of what you got at that time. Timeline: I will begin to accept Conversation's/PM's for sign up today! November 27th @ 8 PM Central Standard Time (CST) will be the cut off for me to accept PM's and add you to the list. November 28-30th, I will send out conversations with who your Secret Santa person is, with all the information the person has provided. Please let me know if you did not receive my PM after Nov. 30th. Dec 24-25th, Open your gift, take a picture (if possible), and post to this thread with what you received, thank your sender. Others enjoy seeing what people got for gifts. To sign up I need you to do the following. Please, reply below to this thread with Conversation Sent, then copy and paste #1-5 below and send it to me in a conversation, even if you participated last year you have to send it again. 1)First and Last name (male or female if it isn't obvious): 2)Your current ship to address: 3)Your shirt size (or specify that you don't want clothes): 4) Hobbies, cars you have currently or like in general, magazine subscriptions, collectibles, etc.. or anything else that would help your Secret Santa choose a gift for you: 5)Are you willing to ship to places other than where you are located?***: As a reminder, FABO gold memberships are a great way to support the site. To give a FABO Gold Membership gift click- http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/account/upgrades I will also ask that it is required to send me a PM that your package was sent (hold onto your tracking number) so that I can keep track of the naughty and nice. We have never had anyone on the naughty list for not sending a gift... some of the gifts may have been questionable though. *** From question 5: US-Canada, Canada to US, or Peru, Hawaii, Greece, Australia, etc. Just a yes or a no. I'll play that one by ear, as I want the gifts to make it there as close to Christmas as possible.
I'd personally really like to try this out if possible. I think it would be a great way for us to connect even more.
