Sig confirmed received mine but never posted a pic. I never received anything though, hopefully it didn't get stolen or lost in the mail

Always down for this!

Really intrigued by the coffee, looking forward to trying it. Thanks

G-Man wrote: ↑Sun Nov 10, 2019 6:17 pm So, it’s time again to think about this. My package never came last year. Does that mean I get to run this year’s exchange?

That sucks man

But yes I would of course love to do this again

I'm guessing he did; it had a handwritten note on the back

Worry no more!! It has arrived!!!





A beautiful painting (so cool!!!), a maple leaf ornament, maple truffles and fudge (yummm) and a really soft hat. Thank you [mention]Long Con[/mention] and [mention]Black Rock[/mention]!

I'm still waiting

Oh man Take 5 bars are the best

oooo yum!!

Same here, but quite a few people said they were getting them out late so I'm not too worried yet.

Oh yummmm

Wait, is Lorab allergic to me?

It's more I just really don't like how you taste. Nothing personal.

hahahhhahaha dang. more for me

Those all sound like great cookies btw. Idk what "monster" are (do they just have a lot of things in them like "kitchen-sink" style?) but all the others are excellent choices

I'm perfectly happy if mine is one of the ones arriving later -- something to look forward to after all the chaos The one I sent should get there by tomorrow though

Joooooooiiiiinnnn uuussssss

I'll be sure not to send her a bunny.

I just think it's fun and don't want people to miss out on an opportunity to share stuff if they'd be interested and just aren't aware.

maybe a mass pm invite would be a good idea? we need more people and some might not see this thread/remember or know it exists esp if they're newer

No, we just have to ask the kids if they ever get ice cream. Then we'll know. That's how logic works right?


btw someone else should run this I don't really feel like doing it again (cause I want the element of surprise I guess)

I'm in!

Jay you missed coffee nut. I tried those recently, pretty good imo


Glad the coffee's good eloh!

Omg that's an amazing haul

Woohoo I got my package from dunya!! She sent me all kinds of cool Swedish things with sweet little explanatory notes on them here's some pics

So many gift wrapped things that were exciting to open!



Contents: A Christmas card that says God Jul and Gott Nytt År (Merry Christmas and Happy New Year in Swedish) and a lovely note, a goofy magnet with trolls and a Swedish flag, a beanbag elf on skis that her friend handmade, a beautifully carved owl candle, various facial cosmetics including some animal-themed face masks, a pair of very pretty turquoise and black beaded bracelets, and some Swedish and Danish candy (including marzipan which I love!) Also the candy was inside this picture frame sign thing:

Aww Eloh you're welcome! Glad it arrived safely and great picture.

There are 12 participants

Sending match info shortly!

Reminder to pm me by Sunday evening if you want in on this!!

OK, guess I'm doing this now. Sent out a pm.

If nobody else volunteers to run this I maybe would but I'm not entirely sure how it's been set up in the past?

Hell yes I actually look forward to buying people stuff for this (and receiving stuff!!) someone please organize it

Oh my goodness those rugelach look so good

No worries at all!! I had some of the kringle and chocolate caramel corn today and they are sooo good

Guuuys I got a really really awesome package from Sorsha!!

Unfortunately one of the glass beverages broke, but everything was sealed so nothing else was ruined thankfully (and I like cherry a lot more than orange soda anyway!! ) So there's hard cherry cola, two huge delicious looking kringles, a box of assorted chocolates, caramel corn, and rosemary salt and pepper pecans. They all look delicious! Thanks so much Sorsha

Yay, glad it arrived!

Whoa, nice!!! Those truffles look amazing.
