Its been a while since we had a White Elephant Exchange - anyone keen?

@Edward_The_Head

Ok, I’m in. I know one year I think Zebra sent me a HUGH Mr Hanky head from South Park. I gave it to my brother-in-law.

I have something really really really off the wall that I hope I can send. And there’s a story to go with it too.

Yay! Items with stories are always fun.

I’ll be starting to fill a box this weekend. It’s supposed to be rainy part of the time, so I’ll be digging through the basement and office, where I know I have extra stuff.

this seems interesting but the type of stuff i would have to send would be useless to the wrong person.
i have a plethora of bath products, mostly stuff from bath and body works and victoria’s secret. since it’s not a pick and choose kind of deal from what i understand, i wouldn’t want to send it out when the recipient might not have any use for it.

has there ever been an exchange done similar to this where people actually listed what they had to send? just curious, don’t meant to intrude on the thread.

Humm - not as far as I know; however, if you have that type of product to send and are keen to participate I’m sure I can find someone who would like to receive it cough me cough

Well sign up then girl! Now, granted, you will receive a box of other stuff in exchange, but maybe your sender can avoid soap type products.

I have a hunch there may be more than one Elephantee that would be delighted to get a box of your overages.

[expectopatronum]

ok ok! email sent.

[wickky]

I have my box ready to go. Granted it’s not very big, but it is filled with some gaming-related items (after all, I am in Vegas, Baby!).

Do we know when we will be getting names/addresses for sending out?

Ahem - post #3…

@alice_in_wonderland

Lets make the cut off May 1st just because I like that date and it will give people a long time to sign up. It always happens if I cut off too soon people who wanted to participate miss the thread - this way they have a whole month.

Sending e-mail!
I was just thinking of this as I put on my fluffy white socks last night - I got a whole new pack in the last box, and I love 'em!
I have some weirdness that definitely needs a new home…

[sitchensis]

I’m in, already got a box in mind

[alice_in_wonderland]

Wow. Spammers want in - looks like this year’s elephant exchange is a hit!

Oh - and reported.

[sitchensis]

Well I hope that was directed to a now deleted post. I get kind of self conscious about being a relative newbie.

Yeppers - a wacky spam post that appeared right after yours thankfully removed by the mods.

Thanks mods!

Email sent.

I haven’t participated in a Doper exchange since I was burned in a t-shirt swap a few years ago, but I’m ready and eager to jump into one again.

[alice_in_wonderland]

Great! Time is ticking down folks - if you haven’t e-mailed me yet, nows the time!

Humm - tyvin signed up on April 2nd, hasn’t posted since April 4th and only made 4 posts. I think I may have to boot her unless she checks in here before May 1st.

I’m very excited to see wher I am shipping my “goodies.”
