I've decided not to do this. It's just too close to my due date and I don't want to forget to send my bucket out.
Maybe the next one.

I was starting to wonder if this exchange was still on. Can't wait to get shopping, yeay!

yep, it's still on!
GCG- does that mean you only want a previous exchanger?
I'm thinking I might have to ask for someone who has shown that they post BEFORE the due date and thus reliable... not necessarily my own country.. international is still fine :)
So.... has any of the Buckets (gift givers) started shopping for their Walrus?

I for one am super excited to do this. I am actually going to make a thank you thread (albeit a bit late) to my Bunny because his gift Reeeaaaallllyyy helped me out today!!
I had much fun with the last one, the only one I have done since. I feel like I gave a really nice, appropriate to what my Egg asked for, and fun pressie! (I hope my egg thinks that too hehhehehe) and I feel like I got a very nice gift in return. It's just so much more fun than shopping for yourself.
On with the Buckets, RAAAHHH!

Question Vee: Are you asking behind the counter if you got a package for GoldCoastGirl or maybe they're turning them away because it's for your username and they don't have a box for that name or not picking up for that name?

This happened to me. I asked for a package for my real name. The woman at the PO was very confused and said, "Theres no package for that name but there is one for the same address for Polekitten." I was like, er, yeah, thats my nickname.
Lysondra

It's DEFINITELY against the law for them to tell you that. Urgh. Confidentiality when having a PO box unless given a warrant is illegal. THAT I know. If not the shipping shit I got wrong, they DEFINITELY shouldn't have done that. :/

I've had THAT PO Box for years and had all sorts of packages under all sorts of usernames and what-not delivered ... maybe they delivered it to 3041 as I have been known to receive mail for 3041 NOT my PO Box .. 3014 at times.
Will ask again on Monday. ;)
Have you still not recieved anything from the Summer buckets exchange?
:laughing: No... considering that one hasn't even started yet. :P

Hey Vee... I checked your wishlist (don'taskwhykthnx) and noticed your stuff is either very specific, gift cards or expensive. One: feathers can't be shipped internationally. Two: People often feel gift cards are very non-personal and don't like giving them and Three: the rest of the stuff people can't afford.
I thought it would be a good idea if you added more smaller things. Things that can be suited for you. Like on my list was 'small pens' and 'stuffed animals with cute faces' which left a pretty broad idea for someone to give me a gift - and both were things I like.
Maybe for the future you can add a few small simple basic things you really like and people can have a better idea of you so they can get them and make a better gift.

Okay. So it is the 13th.. push the damn button.. just hope I don't get a flake this time.
Third time's the charm, right?
As for my wishlist... I wanted to give a wide variety.. and then there is all the posts here on SW for someone to stalk me to find out what I'm liking etc etc... the toys and food for kittens isn't a big expensive item (they are happy with scrunched up pieces of paper !!! hahaha!)... a Drawn Together DVD.. just one.. would make me over the moon happy (and isn't a big ticket item yet available in the US not here in Australia)... I honestly feel my wishlist is pretty well rounded..
As for the feather boas, ah, I just need feather boas.. they don't to be high quality... thus they won't be real feathers.. or else the ones I had weren't real feathers. They died because I didn't take proper care of them.. lesson learnt.. now I know how to do so to make even poor quality feather boas last.
in re Gift Cards.. I adore them!!!!!! GIMME GIMME!!! ;D ;D I don't care how impersonal they are.. I love it when I get gift cards :) I can use...

No... Don't push the button. I'm thinking of backing out ... give me 24 hours.

We can't hold off on an exchange with over 40 people because you can't decide. :(
It's hard to tell what you like from your posts actually. (Againdon'taskwhyIwaslooking)
All I know is you do burlesque, have a Mac and foster pets from this site. That doesn't mean you might want pinup girl photos on your walls or a MAC laptop case or...?? we don't know.

Lysondra, you quoted my post after I had edited it. :(
I didn't realise the date until after I posted and that's why I re-edited that post...
I'm in. I don't care. I liked shopping and giving and don't want to take that away from me.
As for what I like? How about going further than SW and the Wishlist: my myspace profile (work profile - www.goldcoastgirl.info) has what I like on it, twitter is a really awesome way to find out too! However I did say..... I ADORE GIFT VOUCHERS ;D in that post... so how can you not "see" what I like from there? :P ;)
I'm really easy to please ..it can't be THAT hard to see what I like and how easy it is to please me ..damn..
Lysondra
04-13-2008, 03:14 AM
Yeah but like I said, people don't like giving gift vouchers as gifts because it doesn't feel personal enough.
Plus a lot of the gift vouchers you want are for places you can't get a voucher for in America. :P
