2011 Christmas gift exchange program - names have been pulled!
« on: November, 04, 2011, 08:49:01 AM »
                                                                                                                            


Well it's that time once again for a little love and sharing.    :beer   :thu


This year's White Elephant Christmas gift exchange program is now underway. In case some of you have never participated in one you are in store for a treat.

Gifts are typically inexpensive, humorous items or used items from home and sometimes, they are just plain trash or junk you simply don't want and can't think of a better way to unload it.  The term white elephant refers to a gift whose maintenance cost exceeds its usefulness. Here is a link to a definition of the White Elephant origin. 

http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/410050.html

 Each gift should be no more than $20 in value.  In most cases the gift is a gag gift which you might have received last year and have been dying to get rid of it to some poor sole.  Many send used Mustang parts, toys, etc.

1. Send me a Private Message  with your real name, full address and phone number by November 25th. Upon receipt of your PM,  I will either reply back with a confirmation or if you see your name on the list, you're good to go.  I will create a list of those participating at the top of this post so everyone can see who's playing and more importantly who isn't.  If you don't see your favorite  StangFix buddy on the list, you can then bug them to join the fun.  Your StangFix name will be written on a ticket and tossed into a hat or retired oil pan.

2. On Turkey day, my daughter will randomly pull out names.  I will then PM you  with the contact information of the person you are to send a gift to.  Just to clarify, your recepient will not be giving a gift back to you. You'll will never know who is sending you one.  Don't ask unless you have deep pockets. :lol

Most importantly:   Please do not sign up if you do not plan to send a gift.  Everyone receives and ships a gift.

This program is for all StangFixers including those living abroad.  If you receive a recipient  from another country, consider freight costs vs package weight as well as shipping time.  Let's have some fun.  If you have any questions please ask away. Keep in mind that if you ship really early, then your recipient will know who they're getting a gift from.  Sometimes it's fun to wait til the last minute just to make them sweat.  Just DON'T be too late.

Oh and BTW, for those who participated last year, you will not get the same recipient this year.  Gotta mix it up!!


Enjoy, Craig
