Stashmas sign-up thread 2009 - NOW CLOSED

Post by Kute Kitty »

So, this is the official accept-no-substitutes sign-up thread for Stashmas. Put your name in if you're interested in participating in stashmas this year (for more information take a look here). Sign-up is open until the end of September, after sign-up has closed you will get a message telling you who you will be sending to and asking for your address.

The rules, which are pretty much the same as last year, are as follows:
- If you want to participate in Stashmas, you must post in this thread no later than 30th September. This is to allow time for shopping and posting.
- Stashmas Day, the date which everyone should endeavour to get their gifts to the people they're for, is 1st December.
- There will be a separate stashmas wish list thread, where people can state if they have a particular preference for something/something they really wouldn't want. People are encouraged to check this before shopping, so no-one gets things they'll never use!
- Send something of yourself/your town/country/season as well as some piece of stash, so the person you're sending to can get that lovely personal touch
- Spending limit is £10/$16/convert to your own local currency (Google will convert for you if you have problems)
- All communication, for instance getting the name and address of the person you're buying for, should be done through myself, Kell and Thursday Next. This is for everyone's security (obviously no-one should be posting their private contact details on a public forum), and to maintain the "secret" aspect of "Secret Stashmas"!
- If you don't want to give out your home address that’s fine, but we will still need an address that you are happy to have things sent to (e.g. work)
- There will be a separate "Look what I got!" thread. Posting pictures up there is very much encouraged, so we can all share in the fun and enjoyment!
-You can't choose who you get a present for. If you want to get an individual present for your friend, that's fine, but do it separately from this.
-If you are not willing to send things abroad (because of the increased cost of postage or for any other reason), please say so and we will try to pair you up with someone from your own country. If you don't say anything, we'll assume you're happy to post anywhere.
-If you're going to have any problems sending your gift out, for any reason, please let your organiser know so they can let your recipient know. We're not going to have a go at you but it would be nice to be able to let people know!

Basically we're trying to maintain the fun aspect of all of this while making it fair for everyone!

Thank you for adding me on the list, I actually just realised I had set up this whole thread and found the rules from last year and forgot to put my own name in! I'm having very much of a dumb-blonde day...
