Put in your address and add some things you want to your wishlist. Your wishlist is public regardless of who your Cupid is. On the draw date, someone will be randomly selected as your Cupid and you'll get an email informing you who you got. Once you have your person, you will be able to view their address (nobody else can see it). Buy something, send it to them, and wait for the "reveal" thread so you can brag about how awesome you are!

Maybe us North America-ers can mention whether or not we will take on an Aussie giftee?

That would be fine. Just let me know! ;)

I think all aussies should give to each other... I think that would be fair and we wouldn't have to spend huge on post (and for those who pick us wouldn't have to either)

I wouldn't mind either way though!

I'm sending out PMs to see who's willing to send to Australia.

(AudreyLeigh - thanks for being so quick! And your PM box is full!!)

It is just that whilst I am all for sending to other Aussie girls... I love this site because it is international... and it would be even more thrilling (i can only speak for myself here) to receive something from someone international.. yes i appreciate what-ever i am given by who-ever is giving it .. just that i originally joined in on this because i was prepared to send OS (overseas).

Yeah, now we just have to know who is willing to wait up to a fortnight (14 business days) for their cupid?

Ooops I posted my full name. I thought the login name was what showed up and it just asked for your full name for shipping purposes.

Does anyone know who "kayla" is? I emailed them with what they provided on elfster and haven't heard anything yet.

I'd like to raise my hand for the 'push up the deadline/draw date' vote. No one's joined in days and I definitely wouldn't mind having a few extra days to ask my pick what they'd like and shop around for them.

Oh, and Sunday, I stole one of your wishlist items, because I couldn't have put it better myself.

Yes I would also like to draw names sooner!

I just ordered a bunch of stuff from LUSH online for my valentine, whoever she may be! Unless of course she requests no bath products, in which case oh darn ;)

hardkandee
01-10-2008, 07:38 PM
Yeah? Is next Wednesday ok?

No one new has signed up in two days, but everyone would still have the weekend to decide.

Works for me.

Oh and whoever gets me it's my bf's business address so don't be weired out when it says a store.

Sounds great! I'm gonna go make sure I have everything my little greedy heart desires on there... I don't hate though, cuz I know that I give big too!

If she gets a guy and he doesn't want it he can always send it on over to me!

o damn, i joined and then read the whole thread. my post count isnt high enough. *sad face*
how do you delete yourself off of the list? or have i been here long enough for it to be ok?

hardkandee
01-12-2008, 10:23 PM
I hate not letting everyone participate, but it's only fair to stick to the 500 post rule. :-\ I have to take someone else off the list too.

There's always next time guys!

So what kinds of things are people wanting for Valentine's Day? I haven't signed up yet but I'm curious ..... I guess I'm scared to sign up and not know what to get someone! Xmas was easy but I'd want the vday gift to be alittle more sweet! :)

^Well, everyone is supposed to create wishlists and when you get your SC, you can ask him/her anonymous questions.

I feel weird making my wish list. It's hard thinking of stuff. So, to whoever picks me I love everything!!! Lush, chocolates, girly stuff, whatever! :)

hardkandee
01-13-2008, 07:00 PM
^It does feel strange making a wish list, but thankfully we've got an awesome group of people on this site capable of coming up with great gift ideas!

I signed up and would prefer to get an American or foreign poster. It really is only fair since it IS a random draw, yeah you MIGHT have to pay more for shipping but those are the odds you take, y'know? And all us Aussies already know eachother ANYWAY.. what's the point? :/

I took myself off the exchange (Im now posted as a scrooge!) LOL. I just cant afford it but I wish I could do it. I had so much fun last time.

On a side note : its kinda pathetic when you cant afford $30 but the kids gotta eat.

I signed up! I have a wish list but don't feel that you have to stick to it! I love Lush, and stationery, and cooking stuff, and whole-bean coffee, and wine, and pretty things of all kinds...

as much as I would love to take part in this, my first paycheck wont be until mid feb and I have more important financial obligations(rent and bills and food) to worry about.
Sorry folks, maybe next year.

GoldCoastGirl
01-14-2008, 07:08 PM
That's perfectly okay Blade. No one is holding a gun to anyone's head! ;D

ONLY do this if it is something you REALLY want to do .. otherwise, no one is going to think bad of you for not doing it. It's a bit of fun. ;D

I think some one kicked me off the exchange....It says I'm not signed up anymore....Someone PM me and let me know if I was. Either way I just spent most all my money on tuition and I'm sick and can't work :''( so it may be better if I don't participate anyways :/...someone let me know whats up

GoldCoastGirl
01-14-2008, 07:14 PM
Your post count is under 500 posts. Read the whole thread on here, it was agreed upon that your post count has to be over 500 posts to be able to participate ;)

Nothing against you personally. Just something so we all know that the people who are joined up are genuine as such ...

Joplin
01-14-2008, 07:23 PM
well I thought the other condition was being a long time member, but all is well...have fun!

I'm in! Now, do I just get an email telling me who my valentine is?

Susan Wayward

Let Joplin join! I have seen her in real life, plus she's at a club with lots of SW gals who could exact revenge if she flakes!

Just a heads up for everyone: Be careful when you ship alcohol, it's flammable and some shippers consider it high risk.


as much as I would love to take part in this, my first paycheck wont be until mid feb and I have more important financial obligations(rent and bills and food) to worry about.
Sorry folks, maybe next year.

I'll miss you!! I hope you and Dea have a happy Valentine's Day nonetheless.

I was clueless about the post count issue until a couple days ago. I had a couple people notify me about it. But I am comfortable with you re-joining if you'd like. Especially when you've got such great backers. ;)

Yes. Elfster will notify everyone to let them know who their pick is. If you have any questions I'll be able to see the matches and can check for you too.
