Hey everyone - there was some talk on the previous thread about a mid year Halloween exchange. See what everyone can come up with and let all the new members get to see what all the fun was about.

I'll be more then happy to coordinate this one. So if you want to be a part of the fun just say you are in. We will give it a week or so to see how many people we can get in on the fun! If you are interested just PM me with your name/address and wishlist.

How it works:
We will get a list of names of who wants to participate. Lets make a limit of a $10.00 gift that includes shipping. (I think that was last years limit)Once partners are assigned I will PM your partner with your info. Then we will make a delivery deadline date.

(Did I leave anything out?)

I'd love to particiapte, but have a few questions & concerns. 1) I think I would have quite a bit of trouble finding something Halloween here at this time of the year, so would it have to be Halloween or just something they want? 2) I don't think I could find anything decent for $10 and especally to include S&H :cry:

The only place I could get something Halloween would be on ebay, and the USA S&H prices sky rocketed May 14th, and then when I convert to CAD funds and duty, I would be SH** out of luck to be able to do it for anywhere near $10 :oops:

DOD - I think it will be kind of tricky but maybe thats part of the fun. I know some people probably have some stuff already at home - others might just be getting creative with what they are able to find.

Here we have hot topic, spencers etc. but I think I remember you mentioning that you don't have anything like that around you.

Also - OEJ mentioned waiting until August. If that is what everyone wants to do its fine with me. I personally think it would be fun right now, have our little halloween celebration right in the middle of summer. Anyway let me know what the rest of you think.

Hey Mandy0221, I want so bad to participate , but I think I may have to pass on this early one :cry: cause ya There isn't anything out this time of year, unless anyone knows if Michael's stocks year round, we do have a Michael's in the next town. Our closest Spencers is in Langley so I can't make it out there right now. I wish we had a target, you guys have so many cool stores down there, your so lucky!

One good affordable gift idea DOD is the 7.99 DVD shelf at Wal Mart, and find a scary movie.

Hi Nostalgiascape, Well, we do have a Wal Mart. Ok I'm in! Depending on what my partner has on their wish list I will really have to get creative :wink:

What do you guys think about leaving out the wish list part? Might be less pressure that way, and I know I'll be happy with anything Halloween related. I'm in.

Hey MHooch, Doesn't matter to me. But whomever my partner is, I'd at least like to get an idea list from them, so that I can have some idea of their tastes and style. And so that I don't get them something they may already have. I'm really big on getting a person something that shows them that I know them a bit, know what I mean. Even Hallwoeen has so many styles I'd hate to send my partner something they wouldn't want.
So whoever I get as a partner I'd like them to know that I'd at least like some ideas of what they like and don't like, even if it isn't an itemized wish list, just some idea of their taste. :D

Yes I'd at least like to find out who my partner will be so that I can hook up with them and doo some diggin about their interest and such.
