+WRITE SHOP ROBERT Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Once again it's time to do the Christmas Clearance and Regifting Mission!! This one has been a lot of fun in the past, and since I'm settled into a new place to live I think I can handle hosting it once again... Here we go... By now we all should be familiar with the concept, but I'll run through it anyway. The Christmas Clearance and Regifting Mission is a chance to have some fun raiding the After Christmas Clearance Sales in search of that perfectly appropriate, strangely inappropriate, or just plain ridiculous gift for someone special(or random, as the cards may fall). If you sign up for this mission, you will receive a random name of one of the other participants and you will need to send them at least ONE Trackable(unactivated) Geocoin, as well as something you score in the After Christmas Clearance Sales(or something you received as a gift, and are passing along Example...Haha, anyone need a 2XL Men's Blue Polo Shirt?) The Clearance/Regifting item should have about the same value as a Geocoin($5-$12) as a starting point. If you choose to send additional items, that's up to you. I cannot take special assignment requests, and this is an INTERNATIONAL MISSION. If you are unable or unwilling to ship your package to anywhere on the globe, please do not sign up. What you will need to send... 1. At least ONE Trackable(unactivated) Geocoin. 2. At least ONE additional Gift from the Christmas Clearance Sales or a Regift(in the $5-$12 range). 3. Whatever other fun you can come up with. Information I need when you sign up... 1. Your prefered Email address 2. Your Geocaching name 3. Your Shipping name 4. Your COMPLETE Mailing address 5. Your Age and Gender(as specific as you want your sender to consider) Any questions can be posted in this thread, and if you have requests about what to receive(allergies Etc.), you can discuss that here too, not in your sign up email. Please contact me through my Geocaching Profile to sign up. Here's the timeline... Sign up by December 25 Assignments sent by January 1 Send your package by January 31 After you sign up, please keep your status updated in this thread MM/DD...Signed up MM/DD...Received assignment MM/DD...Package shipped MM/DD...Received Package Other random rules... You may request up to TWO assignments for each person on your team, Please do NOT send anything that cannot be discussed/displayed in these forums, Consider the climate where your shipment is going when you choose your gifts.

+LadyBee4T Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I had a great time with this mission that I joined in the past. Sadly enough I can't join this one as I couldn't afford to send a nice package internationally. I will watch this thread though to see what great missions all you guys receive!! Thanks Robert for hosting it again!! Quote Link to comment

+WRITE SHOP ROBERT Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 Ugh...everything I touch for the past two years gets behind schedule...completely my fault. I am working on this right now. everyone will have their assignments tonight. I hope that most of you have already chosen some gift items that are of a wide enough interest, since almost everything is gone from the stores by now. It looks like we have a small field this year...12 entries and two from me. Quote Link to comment
+WRITE SHOP ROBERT Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 Everyone who signed up has been sent a confirmation note. I'll be mixing up the names now and sending assignments tonight. Thanks for your patience. I appologize for holding this ball so long. I really hope that the delay does not hinder anyone.
