Pet Talk Gift Swap 2004--who are you swapping with?

[wolf_Q]

The Pet Talk Gift Swap will not take place right *now*...the deadline to send your gift is March 15, and the prefered date to start sending gifts is February 16.

However, there are some that would like to find out who they are swapping with now, so there is plenty of time to shop. This poll is to find out what the majority wants, and we'll go from there. :)

If you don't have a clue what I'm talking about, check out the other thread *Pet Talk Gift Swap 2004* (http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthread.php?s=&threadid=39080)

**UPDATE**

***UPDATE***

Emails will only be accepted until this Sunday, January 11th.

If you can't send the email by Sunday but have made previous arrangements with me, and your name is on the list, you are *fine,* don't worry. If for any reason you will not be able to send it by Sunday but still want to participate, PM or email me. :)

[Mario9012]

I'm not participating. (No reason)

[DoggiesAreTheBest]

I would like to find out soon so that I can start shopping. Anything pet related seems pretty pricey in my city, so it would be nice if I had time so that I may look out for bargains or shop online!

[slick]

Sorry, I can't participate this time.

[petlover]

Yes, I would love to get an early start.:D I posted about getting an early start in the other thread about the 2004 gift swap.:)

[ramanth]

I'd like to find out soon. :) Did I miss the forms to fill out?

[wolfsoul]

Did people already get signed up? I hope I didn't miss it. :o

I really would like to do it again. I just got some money, so I'll be able to pay for things myself and my mom won't object. :)

I'd like to know who right away. Everything is on for really cheap now that Christmas is over! It'd be nice to get to those sales while I can!

[wolf_Q]

Nope, you haven't missed the forms...I haven't created them yet. ;) If the majority want to find out now, I'll make one and (hopefully) have it all figured out by the weekend.

[GoldenRetrLuver]

I'd like to find out soon. :)

[Tonya]

I'd love to participate, but I will be going on strike in April, so I have to save my money.

[wolf_Q]

Please *everyone* be aware that if you sign up...meaning, if I receive an email with all of your information to swap, that is a COMMITMENT, no backing out. If we send out the swapping info now, that's plenty of time to buy things here and there so it's no big expense all at once.

[Cookiebaker]

Yes, please, I would like to find out soon, too!! :D

[Cheshirekatt]

I'd also like to find out soon! :)

[dukedogsmom]

The sooner I find out, the sooner I can start buying and maybe buy a lot more than last time!

[Kfamr]

I'll have to ask my parents about this one, i'm sure they'll say yes.

I think the better we know, the best because the more time we have to buy for and spoil each other.:p

[wolf_Q]

Ok, I think the majority rules. :)

I'm going to make up a questionaire (hopefully I'll have it completed by tonight) for everyone to answer.

I've set up a new email address just for this (my pm box and normal email address is constantly full!) If you have any specific questions or requests, please email them to [email protected]

Stay tuned...

[anna_66]

I really want to participate again, so count me in if it's not too late!

[wolf_Q]

OK here is the questionaire to be filled out. DO NOT REPLY AND FILL IT OUT IN THIS THREAD!!! Was that clear enough? lol...

EMAIL me the completed questionaire to [email protected] Do not send it to me by PM, email only. Please fill it out and send it before this weekend if you can, I'd like to get this done ASAP. I will send your info to the person who is sending to you only. This is supposed to be secret, so please don't tell who you are sending to. You will not send to the same person you receive your gift from.

Just to reinforce things said earlier, if I receive an email from you, you MUST send your items. No backing out. Decide now if this is something you will be able to do. The gift minimum is $15, there is no maximum. Keep shipping costs in mind also. The deadline to send your gift is March 15!

1. Your first and last name:

2. Full Address (include country):

3. Email address and Pet Talk ID:

4. Number of pets:

5. Pets names, ages, breeds:

6. What are your pets favorite types of toys, treats, etc. ?

7. Does your pet ever wear clothing (sweaters, bandanas, etc.)? If so, please list what sizes.

8. Is there anything you have really been meaning to get your pet(s)?

9. Is there any type of toy/treat your pet really does not like or you prefer not to give to them?

10. Do you collect anything?

11. What is your favorite color? Favorite animal?

12. If you were to receive a shirt, what size would you need?

13. Do you mind sending your gift to another country?

14. Is there anything else about yourself or pets you'd like to add?

If you have any specific requests, please list them at the bottom (if you'd prefer to send to a person with dogs, etc.) This will not be sent to the person, only I will view it.

No, you have not missed it. :) The swap really is not starting until mid-February, we're just finding out who you are swapping with now so you'll have more time to shop...

Just fill out the questionaire and email it to the address. :)

[wolf_Q]

Just to make sure it's viewed by any who would like to participate, I posted it in all of the "General" sections. Hope I didn't annoy everyone!

[GoldenRetrLuver]

I just sent you mine! :)

[Kfamr]

It's ok, Amy, you annoying people is nothing out of the usual!;) ;)

My parents said I could participate, and i'll send mine in either tonight or tomorrow.

[cutie_chica]

This is my first time with the exchange. I know that 15 is the min. and there is no max. What is the average everyone spends?

There is no average, it just varies. :)

[wolfsoul]

I sent it! :)

[veegan]

[wolf_Q]

I'll be posting who I've received emails from on the first page of the thread.

If you don't see your name right away, don't panic. I'm slow to update. ;)

[tikeyas_mom]

[ramanth]

[luckies4me]

Hi Amy,

We will be adopting a dog sometimes next month. Can I include her in the list? :)

[DoggiesAreTheBest]

I sent my questionnaire in. Can't wait to find out who I will be shopping for. It is always so much fun!!

[anna_66]

Mine is sent in!

[wolf_Q]

Sure Cass, I'll just send a note to whoever is sending to you to be aware of the possible new addition..

[cali]

I signed up for the first time :D I can afford this one! lol the one I always did on another board the minium was twice the amount it is here. I HAVE $15 but that does not include the stuff I make myself... hehe :D

[Logan]

Amy, I thought I had said that I would participate for sure, before. Please include me, and make sure I get an email or PM, as I am not online very much right now for multiple reasons, mostly because my personal computer completely crashed and is getting a new hard drive right now (lost everything).

Thanks.
Logan

[Fox-Gal]

I sent mine in too.

I'm hoping it will be fun too. I at least wanted to get it a try once. ;)

[Crikit]

I'll send mine in as soon as I get my computer back from the repair shop, if it's not done by this weekend I'll still try to get it sent in from my parents computer.

[G.P.girl]

sorry, i can't participate, my allowance has been cut off for awhile:rolleyes:

[Amber]

In the process of switching names right now. :)

[wolf_Q]

I've swapped all the names. I hope nobody else wanted to join, because it's now too late. I think I gave sufficient notice.

I sent pms to about half the people...I'll send the rest later. :)

I tried to go along with everyone's special requests...I hope everyone is satisfied with who they are sending to.

When you open your gift or on the return address will be your sender. There is usually notes or a card enclosed, so you do know who sent it to you. It's sort of like drawing names at Christmas. Does anyone still do that ?? !!

That's what we did this last Christmas! It was so much easier too only having to buy for one person. Whoo! Especially when the family includes about 30! :eek: It worked out really well this time.


Amy, I got my info! Thanks SO much! :D I can't wait to start shopping and I am also going to make some things for my person. I KNOW they will love them! :D

[Cookiebaker]

Got mine! And I can't wait to shop either! Glad there are several weeks, so I can put some extra effort in, and make it especially special!

[anna_66]
