Secret Friend Gift Exchange

rivermom · 09-20-2006, 01:09 PM

Many of us are from YT and we know the routines of the Gift Exchanges. What are all your feelings of doing the same with 4womentalk?

I wonder if Admin would go for this ????????

Possibly it could be a seasonal thing. For instance, Christmas time, Spring, Summer/Fall.

We could make the $ limit small and the gifts could be just small tokens of appreciation of sharing "women time", etc.

So, what are all your feelings on this? Pro's / Con's

I would be in favor of that. I've never done the gift exchange at YT as I've never donated - I always forget or either it's bad timing when I do remember! But I love doing gift exchanges - we do them here at work at Christmas time. I'll be watching for updates from admin on this. Great idea!!

I think it would be a wonderful idea!!!! And since most of us are from YT, I think it would be fun. And I was just thinking the other, my dogs get way more packages in the mail than I do!!! LMAO! SO I say YES!!! It would be a great idea!!!!

I was thinking the same thing. Many battery operated "toys" would be vibrating in packages.

We are very open to the idea of Gift Exchanges for 4WomenTalk if there is enough interest among our members here. We are not sure if it would be difficult or not to "shop" for your fellow member, but I'm sure we can figure out a good system.

We would require partcipants be 4WomenTalk Donating Members and that they be women (with a minimum age of 18). Thus, 4WT could ensure that each and every Gift Exchange participant will receive a gift even if their Secret Buddy doesn't send a gift. We have not even started to take donations here on 4WT yet as we are currently focused on making our community better and helping the site grow at this time.

We would like at least 10 willing participants (though 20 or more would be ideal) to start a Gift Exchange.

We also would allow participants in countries other than the USA or Canada, but the cost of shipping is extraordinarily high for packages, thus we would require a $20 shipping fee for overseas participants per Gift Exchange. This fee would be directly paid to the Secret Buddy who is sending the gift overseas.

If members want to exchange gifts one on one with another fellow 4WT member and friend, that is fine by us and encouraged, however, we do not allow threads for "unofficial" 4WT Gift Exchanges or looking for people to exchange gifts with.

Yes, 4WT and YT are run by the same people. They also run biewertalk.com, maltesetalk.com, and chihuahuatalk.com.

I dunno.....people have told me before that "he" is a secret.

I dunno WHY he would want to hide it, but he may. If he does, I just want to respect that regardless of the reason.

Thank you very much for your kind words!

Those sites listed above are indeed related. A number of people work to make hard these communities a fun and happy place for our members. Currently, no other sites are officially related to 4WomenTalk.
