2025 CBCS Forum Holiday Gift Exchange Sign Up Thread22026

Collector Stantheman private msg quote post Address this user
Welcome to the 2025 CBCS Forum Holiday Gift Exchange!

This is a great tradition our friend @Jesse_O had started years ago for this fun hobby we all enjoy!

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 $30 and up. It can be one larger item, or several smaller ones.It can be something from your personal collection as well.Going above is allowed but should never be expected. PM me that you have mailed your gift to your recipient. Then you wait for your own gift to arrive in the mail and let me know once it has been received. Please remember to include a nite who you are so your Secret Santa knows who sent your awesome gift!

Also, PLEASE, post here in this thread the gifts you received!

We are starting a few weeks earlier this because we had some problems with shipping delays and it gives more time for holiday shopping.

Sign up period ends 11:59 PM Eastern Standard Time on Sunday, November 2nd. I'll match you guys up and send out names right away and then you're off!

Please post your preference if you will ship only CONUS or international as well. I will try to match up International forum members as much as possible.

Children, Spouses, Partners, Pets, etc of forum members are welcome to participate.

Any questions, post them here or PM me privately with any questions or concerns.

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!

Canada swap only please, I can't handle the logistics of getting something into the USA right now and I'd hate for someone to have to pay to receive it.

I'm into Horror comics based off movies. Halloween, F13, Elm Street etc...
Deadpool and Punisher also work....
I'm a fan of Suydam and his Zombie work covers...
