the (totally unofficial) LJ Idol summer gift exchange

[lrig_rorrim]

What is it? A small postal gift exchange, done Secret Santa style! You sign up here, I match you with another person, and you send and receive goodies in the mail.

Why? Because getting nice stuff in the mail is a pleasant experience. Because sending surprise gifts to other people is fun. Because it's a fun way to build connections in the community

I'm happy to join!

heh.

[lrig_rorrim]

Great! I look forward to getting your email!

I'm assuming the $10 limit does not include postage costs?

[lrig_rorrim]

*nods* That's correct. The general guideline is contents of the package < $10. Some shipping costs will probably nudge things up over that limit, depending.

I would like to point out that ninjas generally cost more than $10 so would be out of bounds. Unless you know some cheap-ass ninjas.

Also, I emailed you!

[lrig_rorrim]

I'm in good with some ninjas, yeah. ;)

And you're on the list!

[tjatorra]

Oh why not? I'll drop you an email :)

I keep trying to email you at gmail, and it says your addy doesn't exist. Not sure what to do. AW

I would say double check that you're using the right email. It should be: lrig.rorrim@gmail.com - it's not a _ like in her username, which I would guess would be the first possible accidental typo.

[roina_arwen]

Make sure you're putting the period between lrig and rorrim! (lrig.rorrim)!

I've received email today, so the address does seem to be working - it's Lrig.rorrim@gmail.com and sometimes that opening L confuses folks. There's an easier solution, though - just send me a private message here on LJ with your details, and I'll get you signed up (this is not a good idea most of the time, as my LJ inbox fills up super quickly and I don't check it often. I will check it specifically for your note).
