All right gang. Here it is. The Official start of the 2010 Survival Forum Gift exchange.



Rules:

1) Gifts should be sent by Dec. 20th.

2) Gifts must be received by Jan. 5th

3) It is strongly encouraged that all gifts should be sent with some sort of delivery confirmation. This protects all parties.

4) Gift value should be <$50 unless agreed upon in advance by both parties.

5) If there is a possibility that you won't be able to send your partner's gift, please consider sitting this year's exchange out.

6) Once a gift partner is assigned, it's permanent. If you want to add an additional gift partner, that's fine, but your original pairing stands.

Deadline to get in on this will be Thanksgiving day. I will make the pairings by drawing names out of a hat the day after.

Once the pairings are made, I would encourage both parties to get in touch with each other and get some ideas about what to get. This is the SF, and I am pretty sure, for the most part, we all understand each other. This was a blast last year, so lets have some fun!


Here's to a Happy Holiday Season


Also, if for any reason we have an uneven amount of participants, is there any one who would be willing to take on an additional partner?




I tacked this thread for you guys but ask you bare with me here a minute. As usual, we ask you to remember this a gift exchange not a trade and though this gift exchange is here on AR15.com we are not sponsoring the event. This is between our members and we've had some great success with this in the past. Staff and mods will assist you where possible. We have a good membership here. . Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday Season. Tj

The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in
defense. The sword is more important than the shield, and skill is more
important than either. The final weapon is the brain. All else is
supplemental.

This exchange has happened yearly. It has never required Striker's approval in the past that I'm aware of and Senior Staff is aware that it's happening.

Thank you OBR for organizing this thread, and thank you TJ for tacking it.

ETA: If someone ends up not getting their gift for whatever reason, please put me down as a backup gift sender. I'll gladly send out a second gift package to anyone who needs it.
