Christmas layette swap 2019 šŸŽ…šŸ¼

Baby Talk
1

Okay, letā€™s get this party started! Itā€™s time for our second annual Christmas layette swap. If you donā€™t know what that is, look for the thread from last year. Iā€™ll even post it in the comments. In short, think of it as buying a super sweet baby shower gift with a winter holiday themā€¦an outfit and coordinating accessories as described in the rules. If you want to join us, please comment on this thread and also fill out the questionnaire and send it to me. We had soooo much fun with this last year! I canā€™t wait to see what people come up with this year. :blush:

Here are the rules:

  1. Must be an active member with at least three positive transactions (at least 2 in which you sent something to someone) on this forum
  2. Fill out the form and message it to me with ā€œyour name Christmas questionnaireā€ (please put your name in the title. The messages get hard to sort when they all have the same exact title)
  3. Deadline to sign up is Friday the 25th.
  4. Iā€™ll try to get assignments figured out that weekend and will send you your personā€™s info ASAP.
  5. Shop for an outfit and 5 accessories of your choice, all coordinating. (Outfit, blanket, pacifier, hairbow, toys, shoes, etc.) Retail price should be $35-50. New or like new vintage
  6. Mail your package by November 30ā€¦the sooner the better. Send me the tracking number and Iā€™ll send it to your person.
  7. Be respectful of other cultures. I added a spot on the form to state your preferences. Some people donā€™t celebrate Christmas. If youā€™ve already started shopping, and have a definite theme already purchased, please add that in your message so I donā€™t match you up with someone who doesnā€™t care for that theme.

If Canadians want to join, we just need at least 2 of you to sign up. The previous times we only had 3-4 Canadians but it worked out well.
Iā€™ll post the questionnaire in the comments thread. Copy it and send me the info in a message with your name as the title.
When packages start being mailed out, Iā€™ll start a new thread. I wonā€™t post tracking numbers on the thread. Tracking numbers will only be sent via private message. But the new thread will be where we post pics of our packages.
Oh, and keep it a surprise! Donā€™t tell your person that you are their secret Santa. Seeing the name on the return address is part of the fun! :grin:

@Reborndaddyog, @Alypants, @yackyquacky, @katy777, @AnnieSokay, @Mommarobin, @Ldbr2007, @babymaw, @GrammysReborns, @Sarabeth hereā€™s the sign up

Iā€™ve already gotten a couple of messages from people who donā€™t qualify. Maybe we can get yā€™all vetted another way. Positive eBay or Etsy feedback, positive Facebook reviews etc.

Iā€™m new to the forum so I donā€™t have any transactions here but I do have some Facebook reviews and Iā€™m sure I can find tons more in instagram!

Thatā€™ll work. Message me @Reborndaddyog. Send me the questionnaire and some feedback from other forums. :blush:

Iā€™ve bought a few kits from ladies here on the boards and have some reviews on Etsy but really donā€™t sell much :woman_shrugging:t2:

Iā€™d love to participate though

I am in Canada but donā€™t mind shipping to Europe if there is no one else from there. I hate being apart because I am not in the US !

@Leabelle there are enough Canadians. Sign up and Iā€™ll match yā€™all up. @EnchantedOrphanage there should be enough Europeans. All we need is 2. Maybe someone else from your side of the world wants to join. :blush:
