+Ashallond Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 (edited) Ok guys, here we go. First off, sorry for being so late on this. At the core of this mission is one unactivated geocoin. Not a tag, not a traveler...an honest to goodness geocoin. If you aren't sure if it will count, just ask. Along with this geocoin, you can package up all sorts of Winter Holiday goodness, and since this will be an INTERNATIONAL mission, perhaps something that shows how you celebrate the holidays where you are? Don't go overboard, but honestly think 'if I got this as a package, would I be disappointed?" If so....then modify the package. Feel free to send more than one coin, candy, cookies, small gifts, decorations, ornaments, anything! Now, in years past, pets and kids can have their own package. That will happen this time around. You need to note it in the signup instructions. So how this will happen is that everyone (adults, kids, and geopets) will be put into a big list, and randomly sorted...and you be sent the name above you. Get your package together, and mail it off. Note that if you are sending international that you'll probably want to get your package out close to Dec. 1st. (OR SOONER!) Timeline: October 23: Signups begin November 12:Signups End November 13-14: Names sent out to all participants December 10: All packages must be sent (HIGHLY recommend way sooner for international mailings Instructions to sign up: Send the following information to ashallond (at) gmail.com This is the email that you would send to if you send an email to my geocaching account. 1. Name 2. Full address (include everything that the address should have...many people will copy verbatim what you type) 3. Country 4. Is this package for an adult, child, or geopet 5. Comments (if any) that you want your secret sender to know. Frequently asked questions: 1. Can I request a certain country, or domestic only? No. random draw. If you don't want to possibly send overseas, don't participate in the mission 2. How do we keep up with the mission? Once you sign up, post in this thread the following post and repost as you update it: Signed up: (Date) Name Received: (Date) Package Sent (Date) Package Received: (Date) 3. Can we sign up for more than one mission? Depends. If you cache under a family name and you have two adults and two kids, and you are willing to send out 4 missions, then sure. Make sure you denote which signup is for which person (adult male, adult female, child one, child two, etc.) If you are a solo and you want three missions, let's try to keep it to one per person or pet. 4. What happens if I have to withdraw. Please try to withdraw before you get your name. Once you are in the loop and you are assigned a name, it's a mess to fix. Again, if you are in a marginal position to be able to do this mission, please wait. There seems to be a smaller package mission coming out soon. 5. Can I add in comments about what coins I like, if I have a want list, or anything like that? Of course. That's what the comments are for. Any other questions, ask in this thread.

+grodan & fiabus Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Hohoho!!! Finally, I have been waiting for this mission. Me and my daughter think it is so much fun putting this missions together.(almost to much fun ) To get the name and do the research and try to find anything nice for the persons we have. We don´t have much time to get coins from everywhere since we live in Sweden and will have to send it out soon so let´s hope I have something in my box that is right. Please give so much info you can about yourselves when you sign up, it makes it easier to get nice stuff to send along.

So it will be okay to contact them before we send a package? Thanks for your patience! They will know only once they receive their mission. Sometimes the sender won't write his name but it's always best to write a return address on the box just in case. Usually we don't say who we have so the surprise will last until the package is received. Some people even wait until Christmas to open their boxes Quote Link to comment
