| Welcome to the 2024 CBCS Forum Holiday Gift Exchange! The rules are simple and pretty much the same as previous years: If you want to sign up, post your gift preferences here (consider giving several options) and/or PM them to me, along with your name and current address. After the sign-up period is over I'll send you a forum member's name, address, and gift preferences. You purchase and mail that person a gift, suggested value between $20 and up. It can be one larger item, or several smaller ones. Going above is allowed but should never be expected. PM me that you have done so. Then you wait for your own gift to arrive in the mail and let me know once it has been received. Also, PLEASE, share what you got when you get it!!! That's the best part!! Sign up period ends 11:59pm Pacific Time on Tuesday, November 19th. I'll match you guys up and send out names in the days afterward and then you're off! Please post your preference if you will ship only CONUS or international as well. Children, Spouses, Partners, Pets, etc of forum members are welcome to participate. Any questions, post them here or PM me We try to stick to that deadline as much as possible to give enough time to ship with the USPS at its busiest, so if any of your friends here you think might interested get in touch with them now. Happy Holidays! |

| I'm in, as always! I am also willing to go up to $50 value, but I will be more than happy to get a much lower priced gift. Would prefer NOT to ship international. I would love ANYTHING! That said, I love the early stuff from our hobby such as high grade or tough to find fanzines, memorabilia, or something personal, especially Grateful Dead memorabilia or art. That said, anything at all.   Then again for doing this for us! Too cool.......  I love this community! |

| Seeing as there are people on this forum from outside of the US....the no international/CONUS only is a bummer....I don't remember this Holiday Gift Exchange originally being this way....oh well, carryon. | ||

| @GAC Hi It is NOT CONUS only. I am asking for people to specify if they will ship international or not. Everybody is welcome!  |

GAC private msg quote post Address this user | |
| @Stantheman Ah....so if an international forum member is randomly matched up with someone who chose CONUS only...they'll select again....or there's 2 pools to draw from. I get it...lol!! Sorry....I misinterpreted the posts!! I apologize....I didn't mean to stir the pot here. All good. |

| I’m down. It’s been a minute since I did a gift exchange. I’m happy to do international. Or at least happy saying that now. I haven’t mailed anything out of the country in a long while. | ||

| @GAC I am asking people when they PM me their gift preferences and address, whether or not they will ship internationally. I will then match up whoever is willing to ship international to each other.  |

@Stantheman Yup, makes perfect sense. I totally understand...I was thinking it was becoming a CONUS thing only...my mistake...I posted too quickly not fully understanding. All good....carry on...you're doing a fantastic job. Sorry for intervening. Cheers!!  |

| @GAC So, are you in or not? I'm thinking about it for the first time since this would be the first exchange since Jesse has passed away. It meant a lot to him and lately I'm missing the conversations we used to have. He would always laugh at my stupid shit. You don't realize how important that is until it's gone. | ||

| @DrWatson As we can see from the confusion with the domestic/international shipping discussion, I am a pale imitation of what Jesse was able to do in running this! Jesse asked me last year to take it over so I am doing my best to keep it going as I think it a great tradition here on the boards. The Holidays are definitely a time to sit back and realize what blessings we all have! Cheers |

xkonk private msg quote post Address this user | |
| I always enjoy the holiday exchange! I've shipped to Canada before and don't mind doing that. I'd like any Amazing Spider-Man or She-Hulk (I subscribed to the last two series, so pre-2020). I'm also happy to get any good read, which includes TPB. If you have the patience to search the forum for the monthly comic book club you can see some of the stuff I've already read. |

| I'm interested. Would prefer to ship within Canada, but will ship to US if necessary. Not sure what's going to go on with our postal strike, but I imagine removing customs from the equation would be helpful. My present niche seems to be Comics based off movie horror films. |
