Well, it's almost that time of year again. The shops have been getting their early Christmas stocks in, Christmas lights are going up, and mebbe we've got our eyes on something that we'd like to receive or something we'd like to give. Whatever the signs are, Christmas is coming up soon. This means that we've got to get the Furtopian Christmas Gift Exchange (FCGE) up and running.
So, if you're interested in participating this year, all you have to do is post here that you can do it, if you're willing to send overseas or not and some gift ideas to help who ever you're assigned to with your gift.
Then PM Kada-Ru your physical address. These will be kept private except for the person that is sending you your gift exchange. As usual, spend about $5 but if you wish to go over that is up to you. You can find out what your exchange likes either by looking at their profile, their post here or contacting them and asking what types of things they might like.
Once the names have been matched, your address will be sent to the person that is sending you your gift, through PM.
Because of problems in the past, for those of you who live in the US, when sending out your present please get delivery confirmation (or tracking #) for the shipment. This is about 75 cents at the PO. Then send this tracking number to your exchange and Kada-Ru. This is good for 2 things: 1. It shows that you have actually sent your exchange and 2. that it is not your responsibility if it gets lost in the mail, etc.
Minors must have parental permission to participate in this event as they must give their home mailing address or PO Box address for gift. We do not require proof of parental consent, but please do not abuse this as it could cause problems for you or for us.
It is the member's own responsibility to provide correct and up to date information on where they live and where they want the gift sent to.
If you want to join in but KNOW you can't afford to send anything, DO NOT say that you can. This only looks bad on you. It could also keep you from ever participating again. This is done on the HONOR system. So, please, let's make this year's exchange an awesome one by joining in and sending your exchanges. ^_^
And of course, the most important thing of all... Have fun and enjoy!
Important Dates to note;
The deadline for participants is the 5th of December.
You will then have 10 days read over their post and arrange a gift for your assigned Furtopian.
This means that you have to mail the gift by the 15th of December so that it'll get to the recipient in good time before Christmas.
