Ho Ho Ho everyone!! Time for Secret Pal !

[theshoppingmom2]

Ho Ho Ho everyone!!  Time for Secret Pal !  Time to  set aside work and  have a little fun among ourselves!  

 Secret Pal is relatively simple.. once everyone is signed up... I`ll have Google random number generator draw assigned numbers( starts with the first person that signs up and ends with the last person signing up on the deadline) and  you will be given the name of your giftee via the Private Messages here on the board, make sure you check your messages.

Then shop to your heart`s content  (we all have stashes of stuff around the house  and  we all LOVE to shop thrift stores. Don't go overboard with expensive items.. most people send out a large Priority Box packed full of all kinds of goodies. Gifts can be something you made or already have, or from the thrift store, Goodwill, flea market or yard sale. A gift value of about $15 is suggested but how much we invest in the gift is totally up to each of us.

There will also be a thread started for Likes & Dislikes.. that way all Secret  Pals will have an idea of what to get.  Main thing is don't overspend & have fun  fun fun!  

And this year, to help support the secret pal gift exchange eBay is providing a $10 egift card to help offset the cost of shipping for participants. Once everyone is signed up, eBay will randomly select up to 50 participants to receive a gift card. It’s another reason to join in the fun during this holiday season.

We will have a Big Reveal Party Day where we can open our goodies  (no cheating..!!!) and we take pics of our loot..I mean  gifts.. & post them in a Reveal Thread that will begin on day set.  This year we will have a Zoom room for the party!

Here`s the schedule:

Sign up  CUT OFF is Friday, Dec 4th at 11:59 pm EST.  I will draw names after.

Like and Dislike Thread from Dec 4th thru Dec 7th. The faster you provide this information the faster your Pal gets to  shop and have fun!

You will receive a message with the name of your giftee Monday, Dec 7th 

BOXES SHOULD BE MAILED OUT BY DEC 14th or sooner

BIG REVEAL PARTY WILL BE DEC 23rd via Zoom for those that can't attend Zoom there will be a dedicated board to post your goodies1
