***Easter Basket Exchange-Sign up here***For DISers & Fur Babies-CLOSED

[mommytotwo]

Spring is almost here and so is Easter. Sign ups are being put up early this year so that you have the option of purchasing items in stores you live close to or also online if you purchase early and it arrives in time before the send by date.
I want to have all the Easter baskets there by the ending of March, so that they arrive by Easter and don't have any baskets there later then Easter if something happens.

This will be open to both kids and adults. So for those parents who heard about the kids Easter basket exchange, it is together with the adults. If we have 5 or more kids, we will seperate the kids from the adult pool.

Uhhh, dumb question here...

Just to be completely clear, this exchange is Easter basket so it is NOT the same as the favorite Easter candy, right? They are two seperate Easter ones?

 

[mommaU4]

uhhhh, me again.

If I was interested in sending internationally does anyone know how much more of a difference in postage we are talking about?

Yes, the Easter Basket and the Easter Candy Exchange are different exchanges. For this Easter Basket exchange, you can include all kinds of Easter snacks, goodies, decorations, candles....
For the Easter Candy Exchange, you would send your favorite Easter candy and that is part of the exchangeathon.

For international packages, it all depends. We ask that you send it via air mail since surface would take waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy toooooooooooo loooooooooooooooooooooong. So it depends on the weight of the box. I have sent internationally many of times and it always varies.

 

[mommaU4]

Okay, sounds good to me! I will PM you shortly.

Yup, instead of just recieving your exchange in a box, you recieve it in a creative way-so a basket, Easter bag, Easter pail.....

Looking good people.
We have a few kids in the exchange, so it looks like we are going to seperate the kids from the adult pool.

Yes, I am pregnant. I am now in my second trimester .
But I have one biological daughter and a stepson, so I won't have to change my screen name. It will just stand for my two bio. kids. Plus, I don't want to get people confussed with changing my screen name .

I have been curious about these exchanges. How does it work? Can anyone participate or is it just a certain group? I create unique,themed gift baskets as a hobby and have two kids who would like baskets so this could be fun.

Anyone is able to participate.
To participate, just read the exchange post and send in the information requested to the organizer.
Names and info. will be handed out via pm and you buy items for your exchange pal based on their likings, and whatever you see at the stores....remember to follow the minimum of each exchange. Extras means that you can add in more items above that spending amount if you would like.
When you have sent out your exchange, just post on the sent/recieved thread which will be started after the names and info. have been given out. And, when you have recieved your exchange, post on that same thread, and let everyone know who you had recieved your exchange from and what you had gotten.

You can always refer to the other sent/recieved threads to see what types of things people have sent in exchanges just to get an idea.

*grins* We've snagged another one folks!!! Exchanges are great! Anyone can participate, they foster friendships among the board members and you get a real sense of who's who.

Hop on in and sign up. If you're a basketeer (there are a few of em, from what I've seen) you'll be welcomed with open arms. Sign the kidlets up too.

Oh, anbd if you hadn't guessed.. PM's on the way!

Oh and CONGRATS Patsy! I remember you said you were trying, I guess you got it right!!! Wheeee a lil one on the way!

Hi Patsy! Wow, I love Easter baskets.
Questions? So we buy the basket and the goodies and put them together? And how big is the basket? Small, medium or large?

Thanks

It can either be a basket, Easter gift bag, an Easter container of some sort....something that you can add your exchange items in. So depending on the size and amount of items, you can base it on that.
I know that sometimes it is hard to mail baskets because of odd shapes or having a hard time finding for boxes, so it is your choice.
Just be creative, like the stocking exchange.
