I mailed/received my Basket Exchange

[regi]

I got my basket today. Thank you, Beauty! I haven't been home to see it yet, but I wanted to let you know it did arrive. Can't wait to see it. Thanks again.

Congratulations to all who received your baskets - it sounds as though they were all lovely!

Now - a BIG shame, shame, shame, shame, shame to all those DISers who signed up and didn't follow through on their promise to mail a basket or a t-shirt, or an ornament. You know, folks, the economy is really tough out there now, and the people who got ripped off by you took the time and money and effort to fulfill their obligation. They obviously have moral character and believe in words such as honesty, integrity, and trustworthy. Sorry to sad - you do not.

I hope that all of the DISers who were ripped off are notified of who couldn't be bothered to uphold their end of the bargain.

Well, some things are just worth waiting for. I got a great basket from Beauty. It has a porcelain potpourri burner that looks like a tea pot, a winnie the pooh jewlery box, a Cherised Teddy dressed like a clown (and the colors match perfect in my bedroom), apricot mango body lotion that smells yummy, potpourri tarts, candles and a very pretty green metal basket. Thanks again, Beauty. I know you had a lot going on in your life the last month or so and I appreciate everything.

Regi,
I'm so glad everything arrived okay. I had my DH package it since there were breakables inside. I had to send the tarts and tart burner.....I love them and they make your house smell so wonderful!!! Enjoy and I sure hope to meet in Disney in September!

Now this may be a stupid question, but weren't the baskets supposed to arrive in time for July 4th? We had almost 2 months to prepare our baskets for sending, so I don't understand the huge delay in sending.

I have a suggestion for those who didn't receive a basket, t-shirt, or whatever. I would suggest they email the person who organized the exchange and request the information on the person they had been assigned to. Then I would follow up with an email and/or letter to that person telling them how it made you feel. I still think that the people who received a item in the exchange but didn't send one out should forfeit their gift. They should forward the item they received to the person they stiffed. It is not fair that they should get a gift as part of an EXCHANGE when they didn't hold up their end of the trade.

I hadn't received mine by the second week in July so I did get in contact with Goofys and asked if he could find out, which he did - thanks Dave!!!! - and we found out that person had the dates mixed up....which is understandable and that's okay. At least the person got back in contact with Dave. When I did the ornament exchange I had people that I tried to contact and never got back to me....some of them took forever to get back to me but their circumstances were definitely understandable also (illnesses, layoffs, etc.). But I totally agree...if you don't think you are going to be able to hang on to your end of the bargain - at least pm or email the organizer so they can possibly pair up others that are waiting also......

Well, I had a nice surprise in the mail yesterday! Christmas99 sent me a princess antenna ball out of the blue as a little bonus! I was so surprised, and I immediately ran out and put it on my car. Talk about a wonderful gesture and thoughful people here at the DIS!!!

I did ask Goofys who had my name and didn't follow through and he told me, but I won't reveal who they were. And last I heard, they haven't thanked the person who sent them a basket either. So...... on to the next exchange. Pixie Power had my name in the YCE and she was more than generous expecially when she knew I was burned in this one. I really appreciate her thoughtfulness. It makes up for this time. I can't sing her praises enough.

I'm so glad I finally found this thread! I did get my basket about a week ago. So thanks to Lisa from SC for the good smelling basket (can't find your email anywhere... ). In amongst all the goodies was a t-shirt from Clemson U, which being in basket with popouri, smelled DELICIOUSLY spicy and apple-y (I hate to wash it, but now that I've worn it, I'd better).

Thanks so much! (and my apologies for not posting this sooner)

MY BASKET CAME!!!!!!

Saturday we had a delivery waiting on the steps of my porch when we got home early afternoon from my morning stint and there was my basket!!!!

THANKS SO MUCH TO NHRENEE!!!!!

The basket was a lovely copper type basket with leaves around the edging and inside was a nice Fresh Peach Yankee Candle, some Hot Chocolate mix (I believe from Ghiradelli's - one of my fav chocolate places), an awesome Pooh picture frame (which I can't wait til DISCon now so I can take a pic with some of my friends and put it in my frame), 2 Disney Pins - one being from her state, some irish chocolate and some yummy Cadbury chocolate (yes, it's already gone). It was very very awesome!!!!

Thanks again!!!!

My basket just came!

Bobcat (Lisa) sent me a lovely natural wicker basket filled with bath goodies (a brush and loofah set, citrus cream and orange blossom glycerin soaps, moisturizing bar, gel, and mineral bath), two Yankee Candle votives, and Kahlua Vanilla Creme coffee (one of my favorites).

What a nice Monday surprise!

Thanks, Lisa!
