Secret Snow Angel Gift Exchange! Signups CLOSED

I am so glad that there has been some interest in doing a post-Christmas Secret Snow Angel gift exchange! Time is of the essence, and I would love to get the ball rolling. So, here are the rules:

1. Signups are open from now (Tuesday December 1st, 2015) until Next Tuesday, December 8th at 11:00pm MST
You MUST be following me. I will follow back anyone who expresses interest as soon as I can. I will be doing assignments over the next day, and by Thursday at the latest, you will have your assignment. TEAS SHOULD BE SHIPPED OUT NO LATER THAN 12/17.

2. You must PM me with the following information:
Your name and shipping address
If you are willing to ship out of the US
Your tea preferences, wishlist items and/or specific tea stores you have been oogling.

3. There is a minimum of $10 and a maximum of $20. If you would like to do more, that is totally up to you. The care package can be tea, teaware or a combination of both. I recommend using ‘gift options’ when shipping, or writing a note to the seller, letting them know that this is a gift. Or, if you are picking it up locally, make sure there is some kind of tracking. Also, don’t forget to tell the person who the gift is coming from!

4. Recent Activity on Steepster is a must. I will be looking at the swap credibility thread, and newness of accounts. I apologize for the inconvenience, but I will not be accepting users with no swap cred or accounts under a month or two old.

Thanks all! Let’s make this as fun and painless as possible! I’d like to shoot for a midnight (or morning!) opening on January 1st.

Thanks once again for the interest guys! Does anyone have any suggestions or tips to make this as smooth as possible? I’m all ears!

If sign-ups close next week, what is your expectation for shipping the packages?

Good point! I’m thinking 12/16-12/17. I’m hoping that will be enough time.

I’m interested! I know this account is new but I’ve been on Steepster about 4 years (James R) is my old account. I haven’t made any swaps though. I’d love to join

Still an Angel, US shipping only. If someone doesn’t get their item I’ll step in.

I’m still interested! Lol, I’ve also been around for awhile and done lots of tea boxes, but no individual swaps.

Darn, I was interested but I’ve never swapped before so I have no credibility there :(

I’ll put you and t-ching down as possible stand ins if we need 1 or 2 more people.

I may still have addresses for most of you, but I do need preferences and/or a wishlist to forward to your gifter. Please don’t hesitate to contact me!

=( I’m having trouble finding you on my PM address list. Could you send me a message first if you find the time?

I’ll pm you in sec!

Having said that… I haven’t a clue where I’ll be by January 1st. I could be anywhere. Can I perhaps ask for my gift to be delivered electronically somehow, ie. a gift card, a related book, a kickstarter campaign support, or something? Easier shopping (or maybe, more creative!) for the person giving to me, but also, no shipping needed.

If that’s cool, I’m definitely in. I LOVE these kinds of exchanges!

Hey yeah, that’s a good idea. I always say US only as shipping just gets killer, but getting a gift cert would solve that.
