Ideas for exchanges.......poll closed........if more input just add it in a post

[Meriweather]

Please vote for the ones you would really be interested in.
We need at least 5 for any of them to happen. I wanted a couple of ideas for this summer, so hopefully something will have enough interest.

Please only vote for the ones you will most likely participate in. I hate to start one and then have to cancel it because not enough people sign up

I like a lot of those. And I could be talked into the key chain one too.

 

[EeyoreEma]

I like a lot of them too. My favorites are the novels, the gift card ($5 was my pick on the poll, but like all of them), and the Disney t-shirts.

I voted for the kitchen gadget. I like the $5.00 or $10.00 gift card one. But, did not vote for it since we do not have many businesses here, and it would not make sense if I received a gift card from a business we did not have.

 

[Meriweather]

If we do a gift card one, I would have everyone list the top 5 places they would like to receive from.
There are too places that are regional to do it any other way

 

[Meriweather]

We need more people interested.
Hopefully in the next week or so, more people will come around and add their opinions

 

[Meriweather]

Looks like the next one up............will be gift cards. I think it will be $10 ones.

It will start 7-6

kitchen gadgets will start 8-3

We need more votes............but I think novels will also make it.

I'm for the gift card exchange but I voted for the $15 ones. I usually purchase my gift cards at the Safeway and I don't recall them selling $5 or $10 cards. I'll have to check next time I'm at Safeway.

I also voted for the kitchen gadgets, key chains and journals.

Thanks Nancy... so excited for these!!

Not enough people interested in the $15 ones.
I guess you can go to the store and get the $10 ones, or order them.

Hopefully their will be enough interest that some of the other exchanges can be added later.

 

[Missy1961]

Lots of places carry gift cards these days. I know Toys R Us, Michaels, all the supermarkets, Kmart. You can also order from the store or restaurant's websites, and often you don't have to pay shipping.

 

[Meriweather]

Anyone else going to vote??
We could use more.......hoping to push a couple of more exchanges into the range of being able to do them.

 

[Meriweather]

looks like novels and flat rate box will make it. I will have to see when I can fit them it. It may be awhile, but the summer looks slow.

Keep those votes coming. Maybe some more will make it also.

I could host the novels exchange if you want. I'm out of town July 5 - 9, but I'm home for the rest of July and August. Let me know.

 

[Meriweather]

sure you can do it, Missy.
Anytime is fine.

And we can do the flat rate any time....that one is easy and has been done before.

 

[Missy1961]

OK, I'll do it. We'll figure out what is best - new? used? etc.

 

[cousinbb]

what is the flat rate box exchange exactly?

It's for anything that will fit in a medium flat rate box.
Great chance to get those heavy items sent off.
Pretty much a grab bag.

 

[Missy1961]

If the flat rate exchange is for a medium box, I'm in. You can't get anything good in a small one, but a medium one holds lots of goodies!

 

[Meriweather]

I agree.....those small ones aren't made to hold much.
