(soooorrrryyy for the delay, I'd totally forgotten that today was All Saint's Day and I had tons of stuff to do)
And now, finally, the moment you’ve all been waiting for...
The magic hat has produced the following pairs:
...
*drum roll*
...
THE LIST:
hennypenny – elodie
mili – Turtleneck
alanistradi – Peewee
Ana_Smith – melissam3173
deebee – nessyta
Cynthia – paul_c
Moray – ICameInThroughTheBathroomWindow
Nikki – bogusblue
moo_the_evil_boffin – Aletways
travisturkey – irenesfor
kiwi – BoyWithAName
Meridith – Nell
leticia – th74
weirdmom – lilly
minnmess – Hanne
Okay, I checked and double-checked, and I hope I haven't left anyone out or mixed up a match *lol*
If someone’s got "a problem" with their exchange-partner, please let me know right now ;-)
If you need to back out, let me know a.s.a.p. so we can find a new partner for the poor soul you’re leaving behind!! *sniff*
THE RULES
(please read)(thanks, Kristy, BTW ;P)
1. the price limit shall be €10 (US$ 14,80 / £9 / CHF15) before shipping.
You can check the current exchange rates here: http://www.xe.com/ucc/
2. Presents can include food, but it shouldn’t be the only thing you send. Other than that, you can send whatever you like.
3. I'd say we all post our items IN NOVEMBER – that should give international postmen plenty of time to deliver the presents. Postal workers are on strike again in the UK, so let’s all keep our fingers crossed that this won’t become an "Unsecret Easter Bunny" for UK-boardies and their exchange-partners!
4. Pressies should NOT be opened before Christmas Eve ;-)
I think I've said enough now.
Let the merry shopping-frenzy begin! ;)
Yours,
the unsecret Elf.

*****NEW: Extra-Info for Exchange-Newbies
Since I've read questions like "What are we supposed to send?" in a few profiles ;P, here is the link to last year's present-opening thread for you, as an inspiration:
Unsecret Santa 2008
There are basically no restrictions except the ones in the RULES (which you should've read by now ;P).
You might want to send sth "typical" from your country, since this is an international exchange, after all, and maybe everyone can learn a tiny little thing from it (e.g. that the German diet doesn't consist of white sausages, pretzels & beer only ;P - although IF you want to have sausages, pretzels & beer, there's no better place to try it than Bavaria ;P) |

Yeah, not to mention I have to cross over the world to get to the North Pole, and Santa isn't *that* careful when riding that sledge :oP. |

I'd love to take part this year.
Debbie from France ( expat from the UK so no UK exchange partners please - sorry guys. Unless my pressie involves Cadburys chocolate in which case you're forgiven :-P )
no previous partners and 10 euros sounds fine to me.
Would love to have a partner in North or South America if poss, but hey, I'm easygoing. |
