mckayleesmom replied: Who did it last year? I was gone last year because Jackson cable internet prices were outrageous.

Was it Lisa?

DillsMommy replied:

mckayleesmom replied:
Your good...It's usually 1000 or if someone can vouche for you or knows you in person.

sparkys2boys replied: It's so much fun! I loved being involved in it!

mckayleesmom replied:
It is fun...Plus it lets people get to know each other a little better...especially when you have to shop for them...

PrairieMom replied:
I love it! I want an American this year tho. it took FOREVER for my gift to get all the way to Canada last time. I was so stressed.

sparkys2boys replied:
So you have a thang agaisnt us Canadians huh????




JOKING My gift went inside Canada and I was stressed to that it was taking FOREVER

PrairieMom replied:
it seriously took over 2 weeks. I was staring to feel really bad about it, and I was SO mad I didn't get a tracking #.
I don't have anything agains Canadians, just let me know now, so I can send the gift next week, and it MIGHT get there on time.

mammag replied:
It's been a couple of years since I did it but the time I did I got Canada too. I ended up getting movie tickets at a theatre near her house so she got it on time but I felt like it was too impersonal.

I'm glad I'll be back to do it again. It was really fun.

PrairieMom replied:
Thats a cool idea!
the gift of experience. you can have me this year if you want. I have a hard time spending $ on things that you buy just for the sake of buying so they can sit around and take up space, until you toss them into the land fill.

lisar replied: Yes I done it last year. Sorry Tara if I am correct you were the only one in the us that got a canada person. I tried to keep them all in the same country due to shipping cost.

Brianne I can do it or you can or we can do it together. Just let me know and we can split the list so that way we dont know who each of us get. I knew who my ss was last year.

mckayleesmom replied:
We can split the list and put each other on the others list...That is what me and Abby did for a couple years and it worked out great. I always give the person on the list to the next person on my list so its super easy to do...

For example

Lisa
LeAnne
Abby
Mel

Lisa would get LeAnne
LeAnne would get Abby
Abby would get Mel
Mel would get lisa..

lisar replied:
I actually picked and choose who got who. LOL.
I know there was one person who never got their gift last year for some reason, but I ended up sending them a gift card.

I know who it was, I just hope they sign up again this year. And the person who sent their gift had a tracking # but some how the post office lost it.

Kaitlin'smom replied: it was the one I sent that the post office still cant find I still feel horrible, and I could not find what I had originaly snet to send part of it again, the rest in the box were personal and cant be re-created. I am still mad, and no I will not participate this year but not because of that, for other reasons, but woudl like to do a kids card exchange for Kaitlin

lisar replied:
Dont feel bad. I am sure its not the first thing they have lost. And I am sure it wont be the last. I wish you would participate though.
