I know christmas isn't exactly a global holiday, but I think the good intentions can be felt universally :). Would anyone else here on the forums be interested in doing something to get in the holiday spirit?
Requirements:
- entry cutoff date of 12/5
- ship by date of 12/12 so hopefully everyone gets to open it on christmas
- I feel like a $30 maximum (that includes shipping) on gifts sounds good so no one feels pressured
- US only :( but I'm determined to make this work, so if you're international and willing to bear with me through customs I'll exchange one with you <3
I must stress. 30 MAXIMUM! That doesn't mean 'spend 30 dollars' <3
In general, think of small things that will ship fast, for cheap. I don't want anyone breaking the bank trying to participate, this is supposed to be a fun way to make the community feel a bit more connected ;D.
I think I've thought through it to be inclusive of everyone, but if I'm forgetting something or the requirements don't sound good, please let me know and let's find a way to make this happen.
Lastly, I'll be giving out a loquat as my gift, No one else has to reveal what theirs is, but I thought it might get some of you excited for what's to come. Happy holidays, and have fun with it! Maybe the mods could get involved and find some way to verify everyone that enters?
More info to come. Cheers!!

I am down, but only ship within the US.

I am too. I can think of dry goods that would be easy enough to ship overseas 😊
-
Good idea. I could dehydrate some items to send overseas :)
-
I think it's a good idea, but international is a pain. Customs forms and risk of confiscation.
I'd keep it to US only.
Something did go on like this on the forum during its early years. Just don't know where the thread is.

You bring up a good point; I've updated it to US only but if someone international wants to participate, PM me and hopefully we can figure something out
