Ornament exchange - or Gift idea???


mckayleesmom wrote: Origionally I talked about the ornament idea for the kids. But it would be cheaper to ship ornaments. Im torn though...I love Ornaments, but I always liked the gift idea because most of us don't usually buy for ourselves...so I thought it was nice...and I had alot of fun shopping for that specific person last year....

So I will leave it up to you guys...Im fine with either way.

Can one of the mods lock the Secret Santa post for right now.....Once we figure out what to do ...we can fix the rules ...kwim?

mckayleesmom replied: Or...its not in the poll, but we could do both. For those that would rather just pay shipping for an ornament instead of a gift package...they can do that...Or you can chose to do both if you want to. Just as long as the person knows that they might get someone from another Country....kwim?


We can have 2 different sign ups...One for Ornaments, one for gifts.....or you can sign up for both.

C&K*s Mommie replied: I understand now, Brianne. I like the idea of ornaments for the kids. If it gets enough votes I would like to add my name to the ornaments for kids list.

mckayleesmom replied:
But this would be Ornaments for us instead of gifts kwim?.....Its because Last year...shipping to and from Canada got pricey for some people....Some people paid more for the shipping then the gift. So this way people have a choice and a cheaper version also...kwim?


We can still do the kids one too.....but Im definantly going to need some help. laugh.gif

holley79 replied: I still like the ornament for the kids also.

Bri if you need any help just let me know. I will try my best to help out if you want.

Edited to Ask: Did we ever have a sign up sheet for the kids and I missed it?

C&K*s Mommie replied: Sorry to be the confused one blush.gif , but the choice is ornaments or gifts for the adults?

And then maybe a choice of having an ornament exchange for the kids?

luvmykids replied: What if there were two swaps, people could sign up for one or the other. Someone else could be in charge of the ornament thing so it didn't get too confusing. Then those who want the gift exchange can do it, so can the ornament people.

mckayleesmom replied:
That is what I mean.....2 exchanges....you can sign up for the one that you want or both.

mckayleesmom replied: Ok...Abby just agreed to do the Secret Ornament exchange..... thumb.gif


Kimberly is also going to post in the origional thread on ways to make mailing to Canada and vise versa cheaper. Thank you Kimberly and Abby. thumb.gif

Kaitlin'smom replied: so how is this gonna work a gift exchange for adults and orniments for kids???

mckayleesmom replied:
Yes....this way people have a couple choices....One a little less expensive...kwim?

mckayleesmom replied:
There are going to be 2 options for the adults....Either you can sign up for the Ornament exchange or you can do the gift exchange. If you really want to...you can sign up for both if you would like.


There is also going to be a kids ornament exchange......I was thinking with the kids we could make it a craft exchange...Where they paint or make the ornament themselves.

kimberley replied:
thumb.gif what a great idea! then we can all show off how creative our babies are! thumb.gif

amymom replied: I might do both. I voted for Secret Santa gift exchange. It was the only gift I got last year..... until after Christmas. It was so much fun, both to shop for and to receive.

luvbug00 replied: Personaly I'm all confused . wacko.gif can somone specify in small easy words??

mckayleesmom replied:
Not yet...I will do it tonight or tomorow...The kids are driving me bonkers... laugh.gif

kimberley replied: if i have this right, it is...

3 exchanges


1. parents exchanging pretty ornaments with each other

2. parents exchanging gifts $20-25 with each other

3. kids exchanging homemade ornaments with each other

i am sure someone will correct me if i am wrong wink.gif

luvbug00 replied: Thank you !!! I was soooo confuzzled. emlaugh.gif

mckayleesmom replied:
Your right...

Although you don't have to sign up for all of them...You chose which ones to sign up for...This gives everyone a chance to pick what they want to do....

Maddie&EthansMom replied: COOL!!!! Sounds like so much fun!
