  • I think this could be kind of fun!  Another suggestion: would people want to mail their gifts?  We did one like this on my month board over on TK and it was fun to get something from another state.  I realize that we all live closer and maybe it's sketchier to send our addresses, but all of that would be done offline by someone we trust - basically like the GTG at Jenn's house.  At least we wouldn't have to worry about driving etc.?

    We could use Elfster if we decided to go the mailing route...

  • My days are limited as well. But Elfster is great and I'd be willing to mail my present - since shipping wouldn't be that expensive.

  • I like it!  Use Elfster to organize the exchange, then anyone who can be at the GTG goes, and anyone else mails.

  • Does anyone have time to start an Elfster exchange for the group? Maybe we can give a deadline of next Monday for people to decide if they want to play then we can set up the group once we've collected everyone's emails. 

    Thoughts? 

  • I am really busy not working right now!

    I can start it... What is the sign up deadline we want?

    Yay! Thanks! I'm in for sure. Do you have my email address or do you need it? Oh and is a week enough time for people to decide if they want to play?
  • I would say giving the deadline of next Monday to sign up is plenty early. Then if they need to be mailed out it needs to be sometime in the beginning of December.. depending on when the GTG date is.

  • Ok - I will set the deadline for next monday. I will make another post and announce and we can pick a date for a GTG.

    UW, I have a new email and I am not sure if I have yours - PM?

  • Hmmm...I like the idea kinda, but I would be more inclined to want to make something. I think I just won't have the time this year for the gift exchange and a GTG during the holidays is questionable.
