White Elephant?

Any takers? I’m happy to organize it again if anyone has boxes of crap they want to send to unsuspecting dopers.

I’m in. Let me know when you want the e-mail.

I love white elephant!!!

I didn’t get to play last year, so hell yes I’m in!

In. :cool:

Well, it may mean one or two less prizes for whoever wins the junk mail contest, but sure, sign me up!

I’m in.

Well OK then.

e-mail me your screen name, IRL name, mailing address and any shipping limitations to the e-mail in my profile.

Lets make the cut off October 15th just because I like that date.

Rules are the same as always:

  1. Don’t ship anything illegal or breakable. Immoral is just fine.
  2. If you can’t ship something out promptly, let me know.
  3. Don’t sign up if you have no intention of sending anything.
  4. I won’t post the names of non-shippers, but you’ll get at least 2 snarky e-mails from me.

That’s about it…

Oh - and put White elephant in the subject line. :slight_smile:

I’m in. Thanks. :slight_smile:

In! I’m a newbie at WE, will I be sending fun and exciting items to one person? Or more than one?

One person, unless you decide to adopt someone Elephantless at the end. (There’s always somone who doesn’t get a box.)

Yeah, I’ll play. Email to follow.

SQUEEEEEEEE!

I’m in - email sent.

FYI: I have a dog, a cat, and a 5-month-old baby boy.

Oh, me, me, me too!!! I’ve got great stuff!

I’m in too! Loved last year’s!

If you’re sending them, please don’t send me the baby. I’ll take the dog.

E-mail sent. Where’s that broom and dust pan? :smiley:

Worried newbie here who doesn’t know quite what to make of this thread, but is intrigued, and would like to subscribe to your newsletter. Could anyone give me an idea of what sort of stuff this has previously involved?

I’m so in! Already sent an e-mail.

Dervorin, here’s last year’s thread. If you page towards the end, you’ll see lots of examples of what was sent. The important part is to tell alice where you can send a package to so that she knows who is willing to send internationally when she’s making assignments.

I don’t know if it’s possible to describe or categorize stuff involved. Just anything you’ve got around the house that you don’t want/need/recognize and you’re willing to box up and send to a stranger, bearing in mind that you will receive a box containing similar unwanted/unneeded/unrecognized stuff from another stranger.

Sometimes it might be useful or fun or just plain weird. For example, I’ve got a wristwatch that features Cartman from South Park - what a treasure that is!! :smiley: As for things I’ve sent - I can’t recall specifics but the boxes would have included odds and ends from my junk drawer, and sometimes things I received from previous WE exchanges.

I’m not sure what-all I’ll be sending this time, but I’m pretty sure there’ll be a ceramic item in there…
