Bradley Forum Christmas Gift Exchange......DID EVERONE GET THEIR GIFT?

Tenpoint5 · October 16, 2009, 08:52:26 PM

I just had a thought. If there is someone out there that wants to get in on the gift exchange but is worried about everyone having access to their address. I can assure you that OTHER than MYSELF the only person that will see your address is the person that will be sending you your gift. After the drawing ALL Addresses will be destroyed and deleted from my computer.

JUST SOME THOUGHTS ABOUT THE "PRESENT" YOU SEND:

FOR SAFTEY REASONS, ALL FOOD ITEMS SHOULD BE LIKE YOU BOUGHT THEM FROM A STORE...SEALED (not your homemade rub) BUT AS A BONUS INCLUDE THE RECIPE FOR A SPECIAL RUB YOU LIKE.

ANOTHER IDEA MAKE A COPY OF 'YOUR' FAVORITE MUSIC AND SEND IT

SEND A COUPLE OF YOUR FAVORITE RECIPES AND HOW YOU USE THEM TO HAVE A GOOD MEAL

A LOT OF SMALLER ITEMS THAT CAN TRAVEL FOR FREE CAN BRING BIG PLEASURE TO SOMEONE

IF ANYONE HAS ANYMORE IDEAS PLZ POST THEM

I'm still in, but having problems. Look at Deb, for example; very thoughtful ideas. Being a man is more difficult. We think of maybe a chain saw or cordless drill. I'm definitely going to have to consult my wife on this one. :D

classicrockgriller · October 19, 2009, 06:05:14 PM

Hell if you are going to give some one a chainsaw hope you get my name.

Tiny Tim · October 19, 2009, 06:57:10 PM

Don't need a chainsaw, but a 1.75L of Crown would be good....or Templeton Rye.

ArnieM · October 19, 2009, 07:09:28 PM

I'd like to thank you all for your very thoughtful suggestions. ;D ;D I'll probably get a pack of pumpkin seeds myself. But who cares. It's the thought that counts, right? And, we certainly have a bunch of nice thoughtful people here.

For Christmas a few years ago I thought I was really missing the spirit of giving. Sending baskets of joy was so commercial and expensive. So I started a tradition with my siblings no more baskets of joy for me. I went to the local bulk market and bought two shopping carts full to the top of canned goods with a few goodies to boot and brought it to the local food bank. Now we exchange Christmas cards instead of gifts. And every year I go to the local Aldis and get a couple of baskets of food and bring it to the food bank... a gift that really gives again. There is a added benefit to donating and getting to know the volunteers is that when you go to the charity fish fry you get beer instead of tea...
