Maybe make it possible for the people to anonymously be in, in case they feel uncomfortable admitting such in the forum; they can contact you with their info without the forum confirmation. This is anonymous. You do NOT have to post in the official thread to be a part of the exchange, you just need send an email the special email I will create for the gift exchange. This email address will be posted on Monday, given sufficient interest. I am asking for at least 20 people to express interest in THIS thread just so I know it is worth the time for me to devote to it. The only people who would know that you are a part of the exchange are the gift sender and myself.
You may want to extend the sign up deadline, because so many people are traveling for the holiday. Maybe make it at least to next Friday. Lots of people won't have even checked the site by your current cut off time. I understand what you are saying and a lot of thought went into the timeline. If I extend the deadline though then there is much less time for people to figure out what they will send and less time for them to send it. If there is a larger consensus on extending the deadline then I have no problem with it. You just might end up with a late (after x-mas) gift.
If you can get me the info before 12/5 I am in. I leave for Belgium 12/8 If enough people are interested and we do go through with this, then I can get you a name and address before you leave.
So you in Locker and Pate?

Sounds fun.
It seems to be a hit with the ladies.
I'd do it if it's on.

I dropped him a line... if he doesn't want to do it I might run with it. Might be a bit late but we could always do it as a Secret New Year's Eve event. Who is the magical figure for New Years Eve? Not that baby with a cigar and sash across his chest... Baby Huey?!!!!
Let's give Strider a few days to respond and see where it stands.

I hate plastic, the figure is also Father Time, but we may want to get a more user friendly figure....someone in the climbing world. Let me know pronto so I can get my gift off. Mail takes time.....:DD lynnie

Lynne... Of course! Father Time. I guess my mind was stuck in film tonight since I watched a couple. Baby Huey was from "Who Framed Roger Rabbit."
This could be fun if we can pull it off in "TIME."

I'll vouch for Striders good intentions and integrity. I think I know where he's climbing, so we can find him and knock his head with the Bridwell hammer if it doesn't work out. :)
I'm in. But that's a lot of instructions. As long as I can thank my SS, I'm kewl with it.
Now, is a blow up sheep NSFW? probably just if it has velcro tabs with matching gloves.
I know I don't get to request, but I've always wanted

Strider, does the gift need to cost a certain amount. I'm pretty much doing my trip on a shoestring. No, I'll send my receipient something better than that, but......nothing pricey. Peace, lynne

The gift should cost around $20. Homemade gifts are encouraged, there is no price put on care, creativity and thoughtfulness. Also factor in consideration for shipping, so your overall cost should be around $30 depending on what you bought and how expensive it is to ship.
If you make something then you just have to factor in the cost for shipping.
Lynne, when is your deadline for a name? Do have a gift already and just need a name by a certain date?

If they want it by Christmas pro @ 4-5 days. No gift bought yet, but Belgium is famous for its chocolate.....so if you hook me up with a lover of the sweet brown that would be cool. Or I could get something signed by Anak, the Belgium climber that might be worth something someday.
Santa, I, myself, would like something climbing related. Smiles and Peace, lynnie

good idea, strider. Too many rules though. I say just let people send random gifts. Or one gift to one person. That person doesn't have to reciprocate. Just buy someone a tricam or two, a couple of lockers, whatever.
The problem is getting peeps addresses anonymously. I think that's where Strider comes in. Everybody send him you mailing address.

I don't really need anything, but I got some people in mind!!!! Oh, yeah!!!!
