Brandy524 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 (edited) The TPR ChrisHanKwansivus Gift Exchange! The holiday season is getting close so it’s time to sign up for the TPR ChrisHanKwansivus gift exchange! 2013 RULES AND INSTRUCTIONS!!! READ BELOW!!!! - Must post in this thread if you are interested in participating by November 8. - Must PM your mailing address with your real name to Brandy524 by November 8. Please make sure you triple check for typos, believe me it happens! You don’t want your gift returned to the sender because you typed your address wrong! - Please state in your PM if you are willing to ship internationally. International shipping can be $10-$20 extra. - $20 to $30 spending range on gifts (not including shipping). - No gifts more than $30 please. Being the "biggest spender" on the gift exchange doesn't make you the "winner", and it makes others feel uncomfortable that they didn't do enough. - NEW items only. NO used items. NO promo or freebie items. Make your gifts something of ACTUAL value and not perceived value. - Don’t just throw random stuff in a box and call it a gift! Do a little research on the boards and get something your recipient might actually enjoy receiving. Feel free to post a little information about yourself in this thread! - Brandy524 will PM you back by November 15 with the address and person you are gifting to. - USPS Priority Mail required for U.S. participants. Flat rate boxes are your best option. Get your gift mailed out by December 5. We want to make sure our international recipients get their gifts before the holidays! - Per Elissa: If you flake on your gifting responsibility, which includes totally flaking or not following the above rules, prepare to be banned from the site! This is the Holiday season dammit, don't agree to participate unless you're sure you'll participate! Edited November 5, 2013 by robbalvey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2012jarrett Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 (edited) I'd like to participate! I like t-shirts, hats, key rings, mugs (preferably large), and especially Coasterdynamix models. Do we have to mail it personally or can we just put in our assigned shipping address on an online store? Because if I get park merchandise for someone the internet's the only place you can around that time. And does it have to be coaster related or can it be anything? (As in, practical items or trinkets or ugly Christmas sweaters. Not getting into specifics or examples, but I can tell that this could escalate quickly if we could just mail anything we want! ) Looking forward to this! I love Secret Santas! EDIT: This isn't just theme park things? Okay, umm, other things I like are photography (I've needed a tripod for a while if there's one in that price range), models and other building/engineering-y things, I wear a lot of hats and sweaters (I'm an XL if you decide to get me a sweater or t-shirt, by the way), but my number one interest is roller coasters. I'm a busy college student, I don't have time to be into multiple things. Edited October 24, 2013 by 2012jarrett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(As in, practical items or trinkets or ugly Christmas sweaters.

I know lots of folks did that last year. No, it does not have to be coaster related, and I think some folks probably prefer that it isn't. That's why you're encouraged to do a little research on the boards to find out about the person you'll be gifting to. And also it helps if everyone adds a little something about themselves in this thread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disney4me2001 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I'm in! I wanted to do this last year, but missed the cutoff date. Glad I'll be able to do it this year though! For my match, here are some ideas: My favorite park chains are Disney and Universal. I collect pins from any and all theme parks, park maps, t-shirts (I wear a size men's medium), knick-knacks (such as collectible snowglobes and magnets), posters, etc. I prefer things from specific attractions, but I'm not picky! I'm also a HUGE Halloween fan, so I would love anything from HHN (USH or USO) or Knott's Halloween Haunt! My favorite Disney attractions (in no particular order): The Haunted MansionSpace MountainStar ToursIndiana Jones AdventurePirates of the CaribbeanRadiator Springs RacersThe Little Mermaid: Ariel's Undersea AdventureCalifornia Screamin'Toy Story Midway ManiaThe Twilight Zone Tower of TerrorTest Track My favorite Universal attractions, both past and present (again, in no particular order): T2:3DBack to the Future: The RideWaterWorld: A Live Sea War SpectacularJurassic Park River AdventureE.T. AdventureTransformers The Ride 3DRevenge of the MummyBackdraftJAWS Outside of theme parks, I'm also a major film/TV fan! My favorite items to collect with respect to film/TV are prop replicas (or actual set-used props!), and maquettes/statues/figurines. I do have most of these things on DVD or Blu-Ray already, but I'm noting what I'm missing. I would prefer Blu-Ray over DVD, but I do realize that the price for Blu-ray may exceed the price limit. I'm also open to something new. I'll admit that I'm way behind in TV-watching. I haven't seen any episodes of The Walking Dead, Breaking Bad, Dexter, or True Blood, but I'd be interested in starting! My favorite TV shows (some of these have been cancelled, but I still love them anyway!): The Big Bang Theory (own all seasons to date)Chuck (own all seasons)Once Upon a Time (missing season 2)Heroes (own all seasons)Phineas and Ferb (own all DVDs to date)Regular Show (Don't own seasons 1 & 2!)Family Guy (I have Vols. 6, 7, 8, and 10)The Simpsons (Only own first 2 seasons) My favorite films (I own all of these!): Jurassic ParkBack to the FutureJAWSE.T.Fast and the FuriousTedScott Pilgrim Vs. The WorldUniversal Classic Monsters (Dracula, Frankenstein, etc- Gill Man from Creature from the Black Lagoon is my favorite!)Harry Potter seriesThe Dark Knight trilogyAvengers franchiseStar Wars franchiseIndiana Jones franchise Yet some more ideas: I'm a fan of the Arizona Diamondbacks, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (I liked their old name better...), Houston Astros, Phoenix Suns, and ASU Sun Devils. In general, I also like "weird" things- anything funny or just plain odd! Here are also links to some of my want lists: PinPics (a site for Disney pin collectors)- searching TCox91 in the "Wants" box should bring my profile up: Amazon Park Map want list (Google doc) Hopefully this will give my match a bunch of options! I'll be looking forward to buying for my match. Thanks, Brandy, for putting this together! This will be my first time participating in the TPR ChrisHanKwanSivus Gift Exchange, and I'm excited for it! -Tyler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
