An exchange

I'm doing the book exchange over on the book club board.  I'm just curious if anyone has done a board exchange since being on The Knot/Nest.  If you've done one, what did you think?  If you've avoided exchanges, why?

On a side note, I miss you ladies.  We're so quiet these days and it makes me kinda sad.  That's all.

Re: An exchange

  • I'm going to be ignorant and ask what a book exchange is.... is it literally like it sounds?  Someone recommends a book and you recommend one in return? 
  • My friend did an ornament exchange last Christmas on the knot and loved it. She sent a really cute wedding type ornament to her person and I can't remember what kind of one she got but she really liked it.

    It's basically like a Secret Santa/Friend gift exchange.  We have a dollar limit and we're doing a book and treats.  I'm just not sure how great I'll be at shopping for a book for someone else whose taste I don't really know.  We'll see how it goes, but I'm kind of excited.  I mean, who doesn't love getting a new book in the mail?  :)

  • There was an ornament exchange two years ago on the October board.  I didn't participate; so, I know nothing of how it went.

    Not only that, but I would be afraid that the other person (especially being a book person) would have already read the book.  Does everyone mention books they've been wanting to read for the gift giver to reference?

    That aside, it sounds like fun!  I'm curious what book you're going to get!

  • I did an ornament exchange with my local nest board and it was a lot of fun. ?I probably would avoid something that was over like 15 or 20 bucks though... Every exchange you always hear of someone who didn't receive a gift back.?

    Ditto!

  • Wooo, I should make a post about it and see who else would be in and then I guess we all just PM whoever we get to get their address and what kinds of things that have on their tree yeah? If they have a theme or what not...is that how it works?
