Unless you are in Nordstrom. :D

Sent gift yesterday to one of my 2 recipients. Having fun shopping for the second, but not yet ready to mail.

This sounds like a lot of fun... Maybe a reason to go out on black Friday...

A rather unfortunate event has put me in the perfect place to buy my gift. Here's to hoping I'll have room to pack it :eek:

Sent a PM. It's my first year. Very excited to start shopping. :-)

Was thinking to participate...being it would be my first time...

What kinds of gifts are usually exchanged? Upgrade instruments or drink coupons or physical gifts or is it white elephant?

Just curious

Physical gifts at least $50 value. Your recipient will have posted some ideas of types of things they want, similar to the list you'll submit when you enter.

No doubt upgrade instruments would be appreciated if they're available to offer, but that's probably rare.

Physical gifts are exchanged, and can range from flowers to cooking supplies to beer to hotel/airline gift cards, or anything in between. Upgrade instruments are usually greatly appreciated, but it's typically pretty rare that they are given. :)

Not a traditional white elephant... should be a "nice" gift. :)

And contrary to Kipper, lots of upgrade instruments have been given away in the past... I personally had given away 6 SWUs and associated UA Club passes in the past. Ah, the good old days!

Just a friendly reminder that I will only be doing one more additional assignment... and I expect to get those out by December 2nd.

So, if you want to join.... or add additional Santas.... do let me know.

And go out and recruit! :)

I am happy to do another assignment or two if you need the extra help. :D

WHAT? You NOW tell me you are wrong AFTER you get my vote for Talkboard? :)

I have no real "paper" to give (unless an IC Ambassador BOGO voucher counts) but am always willing to receive :D

I received my first gift yesterday, a $50 gift card for my Nook! Very excited since I'm currently on restricted activity and spending most weekends doing lots of reading.

Thank you Santa! I can guess who you are but won't out you here. I'll post when I pick out some books.
