Remember the CD exchange last year?

Would anyone be interested in doing another one. I really had fun with it last time and it may bring a bit of jolly-ness back to the board. Opinions?

I wasn't here, can you explain?

Thanks!

I'd love it.

I love CDs & I love jolly-ness ... so yes!

Sure! So someone started an elfster account (website that organizes secret santa type stuff). Anyone who wanted to participate and signed up there and along with their info, left there kids sizes or what they like or want to try. After a certain sign up period, Elfster matched everyone randomly and you bought for your person and sent it to them. The person who gets you is the only one who gets your address. I think there was a $20 or $30 limit. I don't remember, but I think everyone that participated played nice and no one was left without a present.

Feel free to fill in any details I missed.

i'm in! I did that with my Birth Month board for Christmas and worked really well =D

Mystery2B · July 2010

I'd be in.

luvlieK · July 2010

I was thinking we needed one too!

tammy79 · July 2010

Sounds like fun, I'm definitely in!!

The only thing I would add is that the co-ordinator DOES receive the list of who has who. So someone can't join and think they can hide out and get something and not send something. (If anyone had that concern)

Oooo that sounds fun! I didn't get to do it last time.

Ditto. Let's do it!

j.h.mommy · July 2010

Great! I'm so glad there is interest. And luvlie- good point. Shall I go ahead and set it up later today? How long should the sign up period be? And how long should the deadline to get it in the mail be? And spending guidelines? Any other rules to mention?
