If you want to participate, please fill this registration form before 31 / January
http://pastebin.com/ydr6L6Qn

Could you maybe create a google form or a basic question list like the Santa anons?
Something like:
1.Name and Address
2.Feedback
3.Interests (favorite brands, favorite colors/themes, husbando, preferred items)
4.Allergies/extreme dislikes
5.Open to international (yes/no)

I feel like those were questions/issues that came up for the Christmas one fairly frequently.
I think setting one price bracket would be good, but allowing multiple and putting that with the questions would also be a good idea.

If you'd like more help, I'd be willing to work on organizing things, too. You/we should try to get fb from the Santa anons as far as potential problems/grinches.
Also, requiring tracking will probably eliminate intl. for a lot of people.

>>8827535
Here again. Please ignore my post.

>>8827535
Allergies added, good point

Sorry for put the link into a pestebin but 4chan keeps flagging it as spam
>>8827542
Don't worry anon

>>8827514
>I'll assign your giftee between 1st January - 4th January

I'm assuming you meant February?

>>8827575
>>8827514
I'll assign your giftee between 1st February - 4th February
Thanks for the correction

sounds fun! I think I'll do this because I saw some of the secret santa threads after people had got their gifts and I really wished I had joined.

I was bummed that I missed the deadline for the secret santa so I'm definitely joining this.

>>8827514

Im interested in participating in this and would love to ship gifts internationally, however the valid tracking number thing, Im in New Zealand, standard shipping is around $9USD the second I want a tracking number the price jumps to around $40USD.

So am I definitely counted out for this? I would be happy to send photos of the gifts and the package and receipts? Or is tracking an absolute extreme MUST regardless of whether I provide other proof and I definitely can't join?

> didn't get anything from my santa
> never received a reply from my santee
I don't want to feel jaded, but I am feeling like a jaded salty bitch.

>>8827833

Maybe youll get lucky and find someone in NZ or AU? Or is that your guys rates for even local shipping? If so thats horrible anon

>>8827833
Ugh, I get how you feel. I'm an Ausanon and I wanna do this SO BAD but to send a small, untracked parcel to a friend in the US it'd cost me $15AUD, meanwhile the tracked parcel she sent me of the same size and weight cost her $5USD.

Why must we live with terrible shipping cost.

>>8827842
I think they just mean international tracked is that much, because they talk about wanting to ship international.

Similarly tracking international gets expensive in the US, for me personally it's annoying trying to figure it out, I wanted to send stuff international too but I didn't want to break the bank on tracked shipping. I've sent and received international packages untracked that got there just fine but I understand wanting tracked packages for something like this.

I have an idea, why don't you assign a unique id per gift, not just per person and have them write it somewhere in with the present. That way you can identify whether that person did or did not grinch as well as which tier was it.

Oh and make it also a rule that you have to post the gift on the thread.

>>8827877

>post the gift on the thread

When though anon? I like the idea of this for not getting grinched, but dont people also want the gift they are receiving to be a surprise? Thats how I would feel about receiving/giving

So maybe posting on the thread a week or so later after shipping the package would be better

>>8827883
I meant the giftee to post the present after they recieved it.

Probably before a mallable deadline since people will send out gifts late again I bet.

>>8827841
I'm salty that I never got a reaction for my gift. I put in a lot of time looking for the right present.

>>8827886

Oh! That is a good idea. Sorry for the confusion anon.

>>8827888
one of my giftees only posted about receiving it recently. of the other two nonresponders, one seems to have not responded to anyone and the other i figure probably disliked it as i took a risk and gave something odd (she said she liked weird things, it was probably too weird).

that is the gamble with this sort of thing. i will join again but without expecting return.

>>8827888
Yeah, same for some of mine. 3 lolitas out of 5 posted, the other 2 hadn't spoken a peep. Some report getting my gifts and not my cards, so I wasn't sure what was happening there.
I received gifts from 4 of my 5 santas which makes me happy. And I posted about all of them!

That being said, the shitty exchange rate for my country right now makes ordering things online a pain, and a lot of what I liked to do was a handful of cute things from different stores shipped directly to my giftee, and to top it off the cheap/free options means no tracking which I suppose is mandatory now. So, I won't be participating in White Day, but I'll be happily watching because I enjoyed seeing what was sent and received in the last one.

-YL from AB

The mandatory tracking number is turning away a lot of gulls. I think it would be better to scrap that and implement something else.

>>8828072
Maybe having to prove some form of shipment, like a picture of a receipt or something?

Would it be rude to include a link to a wishlist on my registration(in the interests part)? I've been a part of exchanges like these before, where I have gotten stuff that either I can't use(like makeup that doesn't agree with my skin) or stuff that isn't to my taste.

Hey I participated in the Christmas, but I don't have feedback so is there something I can do about that like the card option (which is always a flimsy excuse for me to buy or making a whole ton of stuff)

>>8827514
White Day OP, you can get proof of shipping without tracking in most post offices. They'll give you a receipt with the post code/portion of the destination on it.

I know for one I'm put off by the requirement of tracked shipping. For SS even untracked shipping was really steep but I got receipts of postage for all my items (from UK to aus x3, Europe x3 and the US), there's no way tracking would have been affordable.

>>8828156
I'm not the OP but for the makeup thing, couldn't that just be apart of the allergies thing in the interests part? Just say like, please no makeup because I have sensitive skin or something like that. Similarly you could say like, I like things like _______ or if you're a lolita, themes in my wardrobe are _______. Just be specific in your interests.

This seems so fun! I didn't participate in the Christmas exchange, as I had another secret santa I was participating in, but I'll definitely join this one.

How bad was the grinching last time? And people going outside price tiers?

>>8828465
I didn't think of that anon, so I might try that instead.
>>8828414
Echoing this anon, in my local post office you can get a receipt and also a certificate of delivery. Can this be used instead of tracked shipping? Otherwise I'd have to limit myself to my country.

>>8828545
>a certificate of delivery
I meant a certificate of shipping.

How specific should someone be for the interests/wishlist section? Is it okay to ask for accessories to match a specific print and colorway?

Thanks for all the suggestions seagulls, I've modified the registration form.

>>8827833
>>8827863
>>8827868
>>8828072
>>8828414
I modified the tracking number requirement; a proof photo of the receipt will be enough, thank you all.

Another way to save shipping would be to buy the stuff on AE for example, and send it directly to your giftee. Then if you want to make it more personal, you can send a letter appart, and of course that doesn't have to be tracked. Just an idea.

Also a new requirement is people must contact me when they receive their gifts in order to sender can rest assured

>>8828156
That's a really good idea

>>8828465
I only can make 10 fields in the registration form, I hope you don't mind so muchto type it in the comment section

You can fill again the registration form if you need to modify something

And for now we're +20 seagulls, this is going really well !

Definitely joining this, after seeing the cute gifts people got for seagull santa I really wanna participate.
I've only been in one online gift exchange before and didn't receive anything, so hopefully this'll go okay.

>>8828719
I really liked the anon earlier in the thread who mentioned requiring people to post a photo of what they got, or at least a message, to the thread. It's nice to come back and thank your gifter, and it feels more like I'm sending gifts to actual, active seagulls instead of people who just came here for the gifting thing.
Not to mention it's just fun seeing what everyone received.

>>8828702
>Is it okay to ask for accessories to match a specific print and colorway?
yes! be open to other things of course. i enjoyed making items to match an anon's favorite wardrobe itens.

I joined the Christmas secret Santa and as much as I'd love to, I'm not going to participate again. I put loads of effort into getting my recipients things they'd like but none of my Santas got me anything almost vaguely related to the interests I listed. One did get me some nice generic things, but one got me items I can only guess were from the local 99p store equivalent, despite being in the $20 category. They're still sitting in a box untouched because I have absolutely no interest or use for them whatsoever. I've had nicer things from inside Christmas crackers so I was really disappointed to sign up for a CGL gift exchange and not get anything remotely CGL related. So anons that participate in this exchange, please make an effort with the gifts you send.

>>8828932
Did you contact Santa anon? Super shitty gifts should be noted, IMO. If that person does it more than once, they shouldn't be allowed to participate in future exchanges.

>>8828932
There were a few discrepancies where mutual people had gotten different price tiers. I had a 20-40 seagull giftee that got me as a 10-20.

>>8828932
At least you didn't get mini stationery with two words and no names at all mine or theirs and a quarter of a sticker sheet.

>>8828932
What did you list as interests, anon?

One of my Santas was so vague that I just bought $50 worth of various cute things from Daiso.

If you want specific things you've gotta ask for them.

>>8828932
at least you got stuff anon! Out of 4 santas I only received 1 thing!

Never entered an online gift exchange before, but I love present shopping!! I'm very excited for this and I hope it's alright to send a gift back to whoever gifts me anything.

Perhaps as a way to discourage grinching create a list of all those who grinched at the end of the event (name and shame) and also share their details around to all of the main lolita/ cosplay/ jfash selling pages (privately) for them to decide if they would want to block them from the pages. I organised a small event for NZs lolita community nation wide and used that as a way to deter grinching - no one grinched in the end! So that could be a way to lessen the grinching for your event?

Maybe even if youre able to grab a list of names of those who grinched in the Christmas exchange maybe keep an eye out for them entering in this and remove them from your list as the names come up? Or pairing those with similar or no feedback with others the same?

Either way, I will be participating as I love sending cute shit to people, but it seems way too many people got ripped off in the Christmas event which is pretty sad..

>>8830283
Barely anyone seemed to get grinched at the Christmas one. It seems like only a small handful of anons didn't receive things, and that was a very big SS exchange. I know some people mentioned that the items they'd bought from Aliexpress/wherever had to be resent or whatever, too. I'd like to know the final tally when the Santa anons sort it all out and do the grinch check.
Compare this to a secret santa I organized for my uni club/org, where we had a like 15% grinch/fuckup rate, and these were people that saw each other irl on a semi-regular basis...

i just signed up. i hope i'm not being too vague...

>tfw you were willing to help out, but you don't even have a feedback page to participate because there isn't a handmade or card slot

Y'all have fun though I'm gonna monitor this thread, because I really do love watching people be happy. Maybe I'll post my email towards the end and craft some of y'all some stuff.

>>8830317
Please be as specific as possible. My giftee for the christmas one only told me they liked two brands, one color, and nothing else.
I tried to give brands, color schemes, themes/styles, a few anime/game related interested, etc.
The more detailed you are, the easier it will be for your partner to choose gifts and more likely that you'll like what they give you.

>>8830298
You would think they would be more inclined to send BECAUSE they had to see each other regularly?

I just don't get why people have to enter these things and ruin it for others? Eh, heres hoping this one works out well anyways!

I drew a CGL-tan for the SS thread because they requested art for the emails, and I was bored so I drew Valentines CGL-tan when I saw this thread. Apologies if it's off-topic or whatever. I hope this goes really well and no-one gets grinched this time round!

>>8830322
I'm happy for the feedback requirement, to be honest. Practically everyone should have some feedback, even if it's meaningless ebay fb, and fb acts as a first guard against grinching leeches.

>>8829145
>>8828932
>>8828953
>>8829074
If you gulls want, you can drop me an email and I can get you a small gift. I didn't participate in the Christmas event because I was too late to sign up but I feel horrible all of you got grinched/gypped.

>>8830354
So cute! Thanks for the adorable art anon.

I wanted to do the secret santa, but I had no money at the time. I have a job now so I definitely think I'm gonna participate in this! I've always loved gift giving so this is pretty much ideal!

>>8830359
Yeah I get it I just am entirely straight from brand and handmade mori, so I guess I'm going to have to join some buying fb group or get something off ebay for once in my life.
>>8830373
I'll also drop an email for grinched anons. It may take a week because I'm gonna be crochet and embroidering gifts, but drop a line and I can help y'all out.

>>8830354
That's an awesome art anon !
Totally on-topic, since White Day is related to Valentine, thank you so much
Would you mind if I use it on emails?

>>8830373
>>8830423
you two are very kind, thank you

>>8830283
About naming and shaming, I want to see seagulls' opinion, so I've made a poll for it:
http://strawpoll.me/6632979

>>8830467
name&shame could be seen as doxing. if people have feedback pages why not comment there?

>tfw gifted people multiple things from different sources
>some were cheapish cute stuff that people mentioned but thoughtfully picked based on their animu interests
>maybe they didn't get the more expensive cute stuff I sent
>maybe I'm going to be named and shamed because they didn't realise they were from the same person
;_;

>>8830469
You can't just comment on LM feedback. Naming/shaming scammers has always been fine as long as you don't start digging through and posting their address/personal info. Name/fb on gift exchange blacklist would probably be fine; it doesn't even need to be posted here, just linked or emailed.

>>8830680
That's why you post in thread and say Hey AB from XYZ, I sent you a few things from here and here, so keep an eye out!

>>8830693
all right, this sounds very reasonable, would support this.

i already voted No, but can't change that unfortunately. count minus one no and plus one yes for the poll.

>>8830693
Honestly, that's not much of a deterrent. People can make fake Facebook accounts and get off scot free, but if there's a chance of their address being released, they're far less likely to scam. And pretty sure they would give a correct address if they wanted to scam

>>8830326
i gave 2 brands, anime genre, colors, themes and a hobby of mine.

>>8830722
By fb, I meant feedback. Like give out their usernames (feedback) and names.

I just filled out the form and offered an alternative to feedback.. Let me know if it's alright, OP, or I can try to work something else out.

>>8830698
I did, but I'm still afraid that they're talking about me.

Against my better judgement from being burned in the past I signed up. Don't let me down seagulls.

>>8828946
I didn't, I didn't think they were responding anymore and it didn't sound like they'd be organising the next one so I didn't see the point. It's not like I got grinched but to be honest it felt like I may as well have been.
>>8828953
This is possible, but in my case there's a difference between "cheaper, still nice gift" and "bunch of weird random things that make no sense whatsoever"
>>8829074 yikes, one of my card only people literally sent me a piece of paper folded in half and some stickers. Wasn't sure if it was meant to be some kind of "decorate it yourself" joke
>>8829138 I mentioned the lolita themes I like, colours and patterns, mentioned my favourite games and anime etc, enough to get a pretty good idea of my interests. I didn't want to ask for specific items because that takes away the surprise of it being a secret Santa. I don't know what Daiso is, we don't have that here, but there's no way my Santa spent that much.
How vague was your giftee? If you were stuck you should have posted in the thread asking them to go into more details
>>8829145 I'm sorry to hear that anon, I kinda wish my gift never arrived so that I could just hope it was lost in the mail and might still arrive one day to look forward to it. I signed up for a gift exchange in my country and my gift supposedly got lost in the post so I know how it feels.
>>8830373 thanks anon but I'm not trying to get free things, just wanted to add some advice for those participating. I really appreciate it though, that's s very nice offer to make
>>8830680
>>8830746
Don't worry anon you weren't my Santa. I would have loved to get cute anime things, but literally nothing I received from this person had anything to do with the anime or games I talked about. I'm sure your giftee was really grateful.
I think I'll drop the anon organising this an email with the details of what I got and who it was from so they can decide whether they want to blacklist them from the exchange or not.

>>8830376
Thank you!

>>8830467
Thank you! Feel free to use it, edit it how you like etc., I really don't mind.

OP I am looking at the form and I have a request: When you send us giftee information, please please please include if the giftee wanted a Bought/Handmade/Either gift. I marked "Either" for myself but if I'm paired with someone who only wants Handmade or Bought then I want to send them the type of gift they prefer.

I am very sorry for the book I just wrote for my interests but I was afraid of not being specific enough.

>>8831610
I did pretty much the same thing, don't sweat it! Honestly, I feel like while it might be a long list to read, it's going to be easier to find really good gifts.

For feedback, would it be leaving feedback on our gifter's account, or would it just be a little review of what we got?

>>8832016
I think it's to make sure we aren't going to steal stuff.

I signed up, but I've only bought lolita and I buy a lot of it off facebook comms, when I've asked if sellers want me to leave feedback they don't seem to care and I feel rude asking them to list it as on hold on lm.

>>8831600
what exactly is the pastebin link for?
there's so much information all over the thread and its not organized very well so im pretty confused t b h

>>8832610
It's the form to actually sign up..

>>8832612
i went back and. its a link within a link?? that is so odd. but ok, i found it, its with the blue heart. so odd

>>8832614
OP said in one of the first posts that 4chan thinks that the 'proper' link is spam, so she had to use the pastebin link instead.

I wish I could send chocolate out to whoever I get along with their gift, but I feel like if i put edible food in it, it could cause it to accidentally melt all over.

>>8832639
Please don't include chocolate unless it's packaged really well and kept seperate from the other gifts. I did a secret Santa on another board and they sent me some truffles all loose with everything else. Several of them got smushed in the mail and I had to clean melty bits off a keychain and plush and stuff. It was a nice gesture and nothing was permanently stained but it was not a good surprise to reach my hands in the package and pull out chocolate goop.

>>8832656
haha yea i assumed so, i sent a friend once a super cool water sticker on an envelope, yea not a good idea it exploded.

How many gulls are you sending gifts to? i wanted to give to two but for now just one, cant wait!

Would it be a really bad time to organize a /cgl/ Artist exchange, since this is already going on?

>>8832829
Totally different. You should go for it!

>>8832829
You mean people draw for each other? I'm not sure how many people would apply for that but it's not like shopping and sending a package would take up everyone's time.

Just submitted my form. I went with one each in the two bottom price tiers since I can't go overly crazy right now. I'll try to pump up the packages past the price point a little with handmade stuff if my gulls don't mind that. I'm real excited though!

>>8832829
I'd love to join one!

>>8832829
Does it have to be 2d art? Or could it be something sewn/crocheted/etc?

>>8831346
Anon who dropped the [email protected] email, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to make it sound like you wanted free stuff or anything like that. I apologize if the offer seemed uncalled for.

>>8833409
Oh no not at all, I hit the post character limit so sorry if I sounded short, I really appreciate that you're offering to help anons that felt done out of the last exchange, I just wanted to let people know that I wasn't here to be a mood killer, just wanted to give the advice to really try make an afford for your giftees, and maybe take the advice of quality > quantity. I think it's better to make a risk and try get them one or two nice things they'll like, rather than a bunch of smaller things that are more generic with the mentality of "its easier, maybe they'll like one out of these?"
As I said I didn't get grinched, I just seem to have pulled a short straw, so I'm sure those who got nothing at all would deserve your goodwill much more than me

Anyway for someone to join without any feedback?
I don't really sell stuff.
But I'd like to join in.

I had two fantastic partners in the Christmas one so I don't feel bad about skipping out on White Day dude to finances but I'll definitely be yet another anon eagerly following the threads to see what everyone else got.

May all your husbando/waifu dreams come true, anons!

I feel like I didn't leave enough information in my 'wishlist' -- would organiser-chan please contact those who they think didn't leave enough info please? I didn't leave a brand or any dresses I have because I'm new. I love making/sending gifts, but now I'm a little concerned my interests were too broad. I want to get things that I like but I also want to give things someone would like.

>>8834642
That's up to you, not the organizer. It's not like you have to even put anything there.
Also, if you want to edit it, you can just resubmit the form; please read the thread.

Gulls, I hope you are all putting your waifus and husbandos in your interests. I want to send my giftees their OTLs.

>>8834873
I already own all his merch (except for one expensive as fuck statue) and I'd feel getting gulls to draw him, so I did the next best thing and wrote down my favorite characters.

I just signed up and I am very, very sorry to whoever receives my "list" of interests. It was less a list and more a dissertation on my entire being.

>>8835258
>I already own all his merch
You are a better waifu than I could ever hope to be. Just curious, who is your husbando?

>>8834873
I did! I'm also working on an ita bag and kinda regret not writing that down

>>8836497
>It was less a list and more a dissertation on my entire being
I feel this, mine was too.

>>8836497
>Just curious, who is your husbando?

Gaston! I'm quite aware of how unconventional it is, though.

also

> it's not even that nice
> jfc disney

>>8834873
>Didn't include my husbando because I don't watch a lot of anime, to be honest, and he's from a show that popular like 12 years ago with little to no fan/merch anyway.

It's okay anon, mine is Schmendrick the magician. But I listed some anime interests as well to help out whoever ends up getting me.

>>8832656
I would advise against people sending chocolate or candy at all unless if your SS requested it. I've been sent so much candy in the past even after putting on my wish list that I cant eat them. Some people have dietary restrictions, food allergies, or health issues.

>>8838017
That's why you're supposed to put your allergies/dietary restrictions in the info when you sign up.
I personally enjoy sending and receiving food (as long as it's properly packaged), so I wrote that down on the form.

>>8838030
I have listed them and I still get candy. Every fucking time. I feel like all my senders were just lazy.

>>8837981
>mine is Schmendrick the magician
that is absolutely endearing.

>>8837981
Anon I hope I get you I will fucking make you a god damn Schmendrick plushie.

Well, seagulls, 2 days to go!
we're almost 40, with 80 gifts, this will be intersting!

I'm mailing some of you for a few issues, nothing big, but please stay tunned ~

>>8830354
>>8831563
Is there any way I can credit you for your cute draw?

>>8836644
I hope I get you, I'm planning on looking for lots of keychains for anyone's listed series. my boyfriend's ita bag is almost complete and all of that work has gotten me better at hunting down deals.

>>8837981
Now I kinda hope I get you. I organized one of the showing of The Last Unicorn for my theatre and got a bunch of stuff signed PSB. I dont really care for the movie so it woukd br nice to give one of the film cells to someone who likes it

>>8840767
Fuck my fat fingers

>>8840634
Oh man I really hope so too! My -ita bag progress is looking swell t. B h, I wanna fill it up even more

Is it too late to email form edits? Also I suggest next time using Google docs

I sure hope I get someone that likes UtaPri because I just won some lots and only want half the characters, haha.

>>8827514
>before 31th of February
nigga do you own a calendar

>>8841643
i now regret not listing my entire list of favorite anime bc i didn't want to write a trilogy because damn that'd be nice

I hope my form submission wasn't too late, so sorry if it was.

>>8838064
Thanks anon!
>>8838099
Oh fuck, so aggressive but thank you! That would be super sweet. I really hope you get a good gifter whether I'm your giftee or not!

Calm down, anons. It's only February 2nd. The thread has been active these past few weeks, with the person organizing relatively present.

Nobody is freaking out. Someone just asked a question.

>>8844639
See >>8844494. Just wanted to nip it in the bud, so that it doesn't devolve into what /toy/'s SS became.

>>8841862
I mean you could always just post the correct spelling here? if you listed the series though, you're probably fine!

>>8841817
Well unfortunately their signed with a thank you with my name in it so it would be a little weird to give it away lol if it helps Peter is a really nice guy that spent the whole time in our office writing his next story and spent like 3 hours greeting and talking to like 300 people

when are we getting emails with matches?

>>8845173
OP specifies between the 1st and 4th. it is currently the 2nd or 3rd depending on where you live.

>doesn't check cgl for awhile
>misses this

;_; I had such a good experience with the Santa one too aww... To those who signed up, I hope everyone gets something they like!

>>8831346
wow a gift got lost in your own country? That's so disappointing. I'm also secretly hoping for my gifts to turn up one day as well, but since I'm down in Ausland I can see how things can get lost.

>>8830373
Thank you kind anon. Really think the gesture is super nice of you but i'm okay with being missed out. disappointed but okay!

I can't wait to see who I'm assigned to!

I assume people are on this thread from the SS. Please send me an email of what you suspect that you have recieved or have not from a tier. If your Santa has named themselves, that would be helpful too.

>>8847399
Please send it to fluorescentblue @ hotmail

It's 4th and still nothing. Nice, at least someone has a list of our names, addresses and husbandos.

>>8847819
today is OP's deadline to give results so i am not worried.

>>8847819
OP here. Some people drop on last minute, so I had to make some changes: still waiting some people's answer

>>8847854
thank you for the update!! I'm ready to start shopping!

So OP, what will you do with all our addresses?

OP, if those people haven't answered by now they likely won't ever answer. You've still got plenty of gulls ready and waiting to start shopping.

I'm starting shopping right now!
Hope my giftees will like my presents <3

>>8849489
i've been refreshing my inbox since you posted this and man you lucky dog, I'm still waiting. I jumped the gun and bought some wrapping materials so I've got at least some shopping in but I'm getting so antsy.

>>8849489
Did you get your giftees assigned? I'm still waiting but I'm hella excited.

>>8849574
Same, I'm still waiting and getting impatient

>>8845437
Same, I'm quite sad that I missed something like this again

I'm still waiting as well!

Still waiting.

I've been assigned too, I'm so nervous I don't know where to begin with... But better a detailed wishlist than nothing
All you have excellent tastes~

Still waiting. Super excited! I hope my gulls don't mind handmade stuff so I can personalize some things.

>>8849820
ditto!

i also do not have a waifu or husbando but included a crapton of favorite characters and colors and such. hopefully it is enough of a range to inspire both buyanons and craftanons.

Still waiting, but I'm also a little nervous about if I get someone who is big into anime because I live in a small town and I'm apprehensive about ebay from my very old weeb days.

>>8849851
>I live in a small town and I'm apprehensive about ebay from my very old weeb days

no one is gonna see what's in the box and ebay stuff is usually fine if you read the reviews or ask other seagulls if they've bought from that seller?

>>8849851
Careful not to buy bootlegged products, make sure you ask other gulls before purchasing.

still waiting...i hope i get a lot of husbando stuff.

It's the 6th now in my country and it looks like the majority of us are still waiting.

>>8827514
OP, just wondering, how many people signed up? It might help us to understand why matching is taking longer than we anticipated.

>>8850318
Two days before the deadline they said we had around 40 gulls with 80 gifts. We might have more now.

>>8850334
The thread itself has 69 different posters as well.

Hoping I get my match soon so I can start buying! I missed the Secret Santa by a day, and I almost missed this, so I'm really excited to participate!

OP just an update would be good...halfway through matches, 2/3 done with matches, etc. I think some people are uncomfortable from the radio silence.

>>8850903
seconding this, since it seems as if a few people were assigned giftees. i understand there's some issue with some changes to people's forms, but an estimated time frame would be nice

>>8850995
I was contacted by OP recently to alter my side of details (lowering a bracket to match, or offering international shipping) recently. I think they are still trooping through. Just remember that this is February, it's not like Christmas where everyone has time off to organise SS!

I finally got matched 3 days ago but... I had to drop. I know I must have done it earlier, but I totally forgot about it. I had 15 giftees, so maybe OP is having problems matching the people I left, just want to say sorry to everyone.

>>8851153
>15 giftees
The hell, anon? Sorry you had to drop (I'm sure you had a good reason) but holy shit..

>>8851153
wtf anon, 15?? yeah you're most likely the reason for the slowness.

You shouldn't exist. What is this shit.

>>8851418
I meant 15. But still. Anon that's so many. Why would you do that. Were you drunk? I mean, it's okay, it happens, but seriously.

>>8850903
This. A simple "I'm alive and working on it" would make me feel better.

>>8851595
>>8850903
also agreeing with these since I'm starting to get a bit antsy.

the email for matches is coming from WhiteDayCGL(a)outlook.com, right? i want to make sure my match didn't go to spam or anything.

Has anyone recently gotten a match?

>>8851925
nooooo im getting SOOOO impatient

>>8851925
still waiting but not bothered, have a lot going on anyway.

I just got my four giftees! A lot of you like tea(which is great because I always have too much!)and I'm wondering about /cgl/s preference of bagged or loose leaf tea.

>>8851925
I got mine this morning!

>>8851925
Still nothing.

>>8852257
personally, if giving gifts of tea I like to take loose leaf and make it into personal teabags myself.
http://honestlyyum.com/12549/diy-heart-shaped-tea-bags/
I usually like to cut them out with Pinking shears and you could even put their husbandu at the end of the string.

I just got my giftees!
Can't wait to start shopping for them, I hope I do well!

I got mine too! Already started shopping :)

I really wonder what kind of people signed up.
I'm thrilled anyway.

>>8852278
That's a cute idea! If I'm receiving I'm not picky because hey, it's a gift, but I do prefer loose leaf.

Just got my assignments! Neither was very descriptive but I got enough to work with and hopefully they'll like everything...

I got my two giftees just now, and I'm glad we seem to like a lot of the same things since that wasn't really the case with Christmas! I'm looking forward to making a few things and searching for good merch for you two! Hopefully I can do your husbandos/waifus justice.

>>8852318
If it's KM from NV I'm super sorry for the vagueness and can def elaborate.

>>8852318
If you have any questions/want more specifics, you can always ask in the thread.
For people hand-making items, how do you guess item cost? Just material cost?

Ladies, do you e-stalk your giftees? Googling their name, or at least looking them up on facebook?

>>8852318
I agree with the other anon on asking in the thread. I put barely anything on my wish list because I thought that if I put too many things I'd look like a greedy cunt. I realize now that it makes it super inconvenient for my gifters.

MN from NY, if you're here are you okay with food/candy? Do you have preferences or allergies? I'm not seeing anything like that but I want to double check!

OP reporting:
75% up to 90% matches done today, will end soon

Sorry for the late, some people dropped after the deadline and it was a real nightmare to re-match people.

>>8852348
food/candy is ok, and no allergies at all! Sorry for not specifying!

>>8852326
Ah, I have you! I've actually got things in mind already and you weren't too vague so no real worries, but if you could elaborate a little about Ren faire/Pagan stuff that would help!

>>8852358
You're good! Thanks for responding. <3

>>8852367
I like to decorate my room with flower crowns, fairie pendants, Celtic/Pagan symbols, Viking amulets(basically the kind of things you would see being sold at a Renaissance Faire). Just anything fantasy themed really. Sorry about that!

Just got mine, thanks OP!

>>8852352
Thanks a lot for your time, and good luck with your exams!

>>8852374
Do you have a favorite type of flower/color?

I forgot to specify on my form that I like gothic Lolita. I'm from oh and sending to ky!

Got mine! Can't wait to shop next weekend at Katsucon, kek. I'm going to make a couple things too!

>>8852326
I have you as well, could I ask what TFA merch you already have just in case?

Got my matches! Thanks OP!

Also, to anyone who go KB in SD, I've actually started an itabag of Masato/Natsuki/Cecil from UtaPri. I know I listed a ton of things, but if you wanted something really specific, merch of any of them would be awesome.

ML from ohio, what kind of colors are you looking for/do you like in terms of accessories for lolita and otome stuff?

>>8852417
haha I'm gonna be trying to do some shopping at katsu too!

also i'm KD from mass, I think i was already pretty specific on my form but I wanted to mention I really like pompompurin if that also gives you ideas!

>>8852389
Purple/Lavender and Black are the colours I like the most. Thank you!

>>8852442
I have one small Kylo Ren figure, a Hux figure, and a Kylo Ren shirt(black and red with sparks flying around Kylo).

>sign up for multiple giftees
>only 1 match

aw

>>8852673
If White Day Anon is okay with it I wouldn't mind sharing some of my giftees with you. I've got 4 in various price tiers.

MN from NY your gifts have just been shipped! I'm going to assume that I email White Day anon with the tracking number and proof of purchase.

>>8852991
JM from CA your gifts have also been shipped! I'm trying to get all my giftees presents this week so I can start working on customizing the packages.

Is anyone else still waiting on their match?

SF from CA and ET from TX, just letting you know that I received you as matches!

>>8853031
im still waiting on mine... nothing, i even checked my junk mail

>>8853031
>>8853049
White Day anon said they would be about 90% done with matches today. You both are probably the 10% that will be matched tomorrow.

Hey AC from NC, I've got you and just want to check if you have any preference for lace/fabric/flowers! I'm assuming you probably aren't looking for any foot/legwear, but if you are, just let me know! Very excited to start shopping :)

>>8853054

I've definitely gone way over the price tier for all my matches.

JM from Canada, KK from Austria, and MT from Estonia- got matched with the three of you!

Luckily there's a con this weekend so I can do some shopping then. Super excited!

who else is paranoid that they're gonna get paired with someone that forgot they're doing this and will conveniently forget to check the email they signed up with? I'm just a worry wort in general but yeah

OP reporting again, yesterday, matches were 99'99% done, it was only one pair left, but now I can say the White Day matches are 100% DONE.

I suggest everyone look on your junk folder, some seagulls warned all my emails were on their spam/junk folder.

I've now triple checked the emails I received, and I didn't delete any, so if you didn't got any email from me, please make sure you sent it (someones just forgot to sent it/ their conexion was bad and it didn't completely sent). In any case message me WhiteDayCGL(a)outlook.com

CF in NZ,

I'll make them extra awesome to make up for it.

Are you SP from Canada? If so hello!

>>8852936
are you from North America? i might be down for this.

>>8854011
I am! Three of my matches are in the us and one is in Canada.

>>8853142
I am definitely with you on this. I had to turn off my phone last night when I found myself searching online for more things to add to the packages that I thought my giftees would like. I wish I had an infinite amount of time and money.

>>8854008
Whoa! Yes I am. Were we paired together?

>>8854057
Yeah, it's AM from US.

>>8852505
Hi anon! My wardrobe is could use mostly black and white things. Specifically, I've been looking for a black veil headpiece or cream/brown berets. I could also use solid and simply patterned leg wear! I like the stuff on Sock Dreams because I have 'murican sized legs.

>>8853701
Ummm... OP, I never got my match. I'll email you.

>>8853902
LT here,
Ah, I don't think I've ever touched folk metal, but I'm way keen to give it a go! Send me an email!

Hella excited to go shopping for gifts!
Thanks for organising this again, Valentine's Seagull! (I know it's not Valentine's..but I can't just say "White Seagull")

I got paired with AM from Canada and KK in Austria- do you guys have any disliked (or favourite!) characters from any of the series you listed? Don't want to accidentally get either of you anything you won't like!

>>8854034
i was emailed with another match, so all is well. thank you for the offer and may you get things that make you happy

>>8854666
I'm AM from Canada. I actually love John and Sherlock equally, and I like Will a tad more than Hannibal, but other than that I'm pretty easy going. Thank you!

i might need to wait a week before mailing things out, but i will keep you both updated.

aww thank you so much! I actually try to keep a bit cool when filming, i have too much energy haha, i look forward to the gifts!

SP from FL and MD from CA don't be alarmed by the box(es)heading your way. The gifts didn't fit in the envelopes like I planned. MN from NY some of your gifts shipped faster than expected and should be there Thursday. Expect a card as well.

Hey White Day Anon/OP! Are you participating in the exchange yourself?

If not, is there any chance of getting your address so I can send you some treats too?

I know I saw a few people bummed they missed out on this- if you're a tea fan and like tiny little accessories and/or pins, I can send y'all a few little packages!!

>hasn't seen anyone post saying they have me as their giftee

Should I be paranoid yet that my person forgot about the exchange? I know people just got their match, I've been burned in other gift swaps and am likely being overly cautious. Please don't forget your giftees!

>>8855652
I'm in the same boat but I'm just trying to let it be- it's only been a few days!

KM from NV and SP from FL, just wanted to let you know I have you! I'll let you know when I send things out!

>>8855313
MD from CA here, I'm so excited and also very glad I was not left out/grinched!

LP from PA, CL from CT, and AH from CT just wanted to say I have you and once I send your things out I'll let you know!
Also LP from PA and AH from CT, how do you guys feel about wristcuffs? Would you mind a pair or do you have too many?

KK from Austria here. I got matched with MT from Estonia, OP from Netherlands, SS from US and CC from Canada. Super excited, I spent almost all day today shopping.

>>8854666
Hey anon-chan! I don't really dislike any charactes from those series, but husbandos are: Sakata Gintoki, Yang Wenli, Joseph Joestar, Zack Fair. But anything is fine! I'm happy to be surprised.

>>8855652
A lot of people don't post (or at least didn't in the Christmas one) unless they had questions or had shipped out.
Just to assuage my giftees' potential worries:
KL from TX and KB from CA, I've got you two!

KL: What kind of colours/themes do you like? You mentioned mori and otome but not any specific colours, themes, or brands you like, so that would help! Also, who is your favorite Animal Crossing character?

KB: If I end up crafting anything, I'll try to do you justice. As far as husbando/waifu stuff goes, how do you feel about fanart/unofficial stuff (not bootlegs, like AA stuff)?

Also, feel free to let me know anything else!

CF from NZ, just letting you know I got you and will be sending something out soon.

I'm not in the exchange but I do have some cgl penpals and I'm really excited to send them their first packages. I hope posting this here is okay, I'd love them to post their reaction when they get them.

Since everyone else is doing it, I have SS from KY, SL from MI, and RL from TX.

I also realize I listed myself with my city and not my state (CA) when I posted this >>8852503

>>8855769
KB here: Fanart/unofficial is totally okay!

Hey CC from AB!
Do you have any specific colours you prefer when it comes to makeup? Or are you interested in just about anything?

>>8855769
KL from TX here!

Marshal is my absolute favorite.

Prints: -all Leur Getter-
Royal Fragrance
Little Red Riding Hood
Doughnut Print Just Waist Switching jsk

Colors: Mint Green, Browns, Cream, milk-tea, and Pink.

I think it's because of Aoba Josai, but I've really been splurging on mint colored anything.

I have

SL from MI - Your wardrobe is so cute! We even have the same jellybean choco pumps.

KB from CA - Your list is very clear. I know just what to get, ty!

AH from CT - I can fulfill the anime parts. Hoho!

MC from Mexico - Are you looking for specific artbooks or just any? A brand of make up that you can't find over there?

I'm so excited to start this weekend.

>>8856695

having transportation issues. if i can get it sorted soon i will go, but i do not want to mark "going" when i may have to flake.

have an extra dollop of rose jam for me if i cannot make it

>>8855708
LP from PA here! I'd be fine with wristcuffs! Never too many.

I have BB from WV! I am going shopping this weekend for you!

Hey, has anyone had packages from the Christmas exchange given back to them? I got my SMM from Essex returned to me with a note saying there's no one by that name at that address. Which is good since I sent some good stuff and can have it back, but bad because I spent like $25 shipping that internationally.

>>8857400
Mine was supposedly sent back, like, two months ago.

I paid like $80 total for that stupid thing.

SL from MI here!
>>8856695
Thanks for the info; it'll really help.
And thank you! I love those pumps.

>>8856695
>>8856159
I forgot to mention it when I registered, but I also hate Hello Kitty. Other characters (rilakkuma, pompompurin, twin stars, kumamon, etc.) are fine. Also my favorite AC villager is Chief! I really like Ken, Rory, Pudge, and Stitches, too.
Also, my ears are not pierced.

I'm really excited to get started on this stuff.

>>8856685
I'm good with anything! Thank you for asking!!

>>8852374
Quick question! Do you prefer Unicorns, Griffons, or other?

>>8856695

MC here! I mostly use artbooks as reference/inspiration for cosplay, so things that show character outfits (as opposed to whole scenes) would be the best.

Mehron & Kryolan are both super difficult to get over here, and of course you can never have enough things white powder for shironuri, ha ha.

>>8857917
Griffons are rad! I'm not a big fan of unicorns sadly.

AP from CA, I got you!

What colors are in your wardrobe? Favorite brand? Any specific makeup you need, or you prefer a giftcard?

>>8855082
Oooooooooh I'm PR. I'm sorry I'm pretty sure I gave you not that much info to go on. If it helps my favorite color is burgundy and I only like milk chocolate. Errrrrr I also like Larme aaaaand I adore dogs

>>8858033
Cool, thank you! Glad I asked because I thought "who doesn't love unicorns?!" but I wanted to make sure.

>>8858264
I'm AP! Sorry, I just noticed my wish list was vague (my SS put tons of gift ideas on theirs and realized mine is bland). I like Angelic Pretty and my wardrobe is mainly pink, mint, and sax. I can always use legwear and accessories that work well for sweet coords. For makeup, anything for lips, eyes, or mascara are what I use most. Gift cards are fine as well.

I'm happy with anything really, I'm not picky. If you have something completely different in mind, I'm okay with that too!

>>8857829
Great. I just ordered your gifts! It's being sent directly to you and it should be there next week. :)

>>8855313
Thank you! I will keep an eye out for them!

I had a question. I'm in the 30+ range. How far over that can we go? I'm not trying to buy anyone's DD but there's a really nice burando staple for like $50 or so, and I wanted to get it, but don't want it to be the only thing in there.

>>8859421
go for it anon, tis the season

>>8859427
That's what I was planning on doing. I hope she likes it. It's damn cheap!

>>8859421
Wow, it's a great deal

My giftee only listed lolita burando in their interests and wishlist, and their bracket is $5-$10. I'm a cosplayer, not a lolita, so I don't know what the etiquette is here - would generic, cute accessories be OK to send as a gift? I feel bad because it doesn't really have to do with their interests but I'm not finding any brand that fits in that price range and/or don't know how to tell if something is real or a replica...

>>8859421
Anon, you are allowed to blow your bracket but obviously shouldn't expect to receive a $50 gift in return if you do so. I think it's a very sweet gesture if you do purchase the burando for your giftee, though!

>tfw you go over the price budget for your giftee and shouldn't even be spending a lot of money this month
I hope you really love your gift

>>8859717
that happened to me too

>>8859518

If they listed specific prints, maybe accesories that match them?

>>8859734
They only listed burando names, no colors, prints, or "substyles" (not sure if this is the correct term, I mean like gothic/sweet/classic). I already ordered some cute stuff that, if nothing else, can just be used for normie wear. Hopefully they aren't disappointed by it.

>>8859518
i ended up getting them a really good skirt from a brand they like that meshes with their interests. as well as a novelty item based off of a coveted print of theirs.

>>8859828
It is strange for them to just list brands if you're in a low bracket and not even any interests or themes. It's not your fault if they don't like what they receive.

>>8859518
Post their initials here requesting more info or with some questions like other anons have done. One of my giftees was really vague for the Christmas SS, so that's what I did.

>>8859518
Did the $5-10 bracket open up? I was told nobody else was in it, so I dropped out :/ it's been fun to see everyone so excited about their gifts though!

>tfw some gulls are going over their brackets
>tfw you look at your gift and realize it is comfortably right below the higher end of the suggested price
>tfw you know its perfectly acceptable especially for one of the lower brackets but start to worry your anon will be disappointed anyway

>>8860634
I signed up for a $5-10 and my giftee and I didn't list any burando so there's got to be at least a few of us.

>>8860636
Don't see how anyone could be disappointed at receiving a gift from someone who put time and effort into getting them one.
For the Christmas one an anon got me a bunch of Daiso products which I guess to some people would be considered cheap and lazy but to me, I'm in an area where I've never even seen a Daiso, much less anything they sell and I liked generic kawaii Jfash stuff so I absolutely loved everything in the package. I even loved the two hair scrunchies I got (one was 2-way LizLisa looking style, the other an optional cellphone charm) despite having hair so short I can't tie it back. I'm actually growing my hair out now so I can use them for spring/summer.
So yeah, even if the price is low or the person may not be able to use the gift right away, it's still the thought that counts. As long as you're gifting them something you think they'd like then it doesn't matter if you didn't over splurge on them.

How do anons feel about handmade things using official artwork? One of my giftees likes a character from a book that I have an old illustrated copy of. Would it be weird to use that art to make a pin or something?

>>8861132
I think that would be fine anon. I don't see why they wouldn't like it just because you used official art. Are you scanning the page though? Because the thought of you destroying an old book is the only part of that I would be a bit upset about.

>>8861015
Oh geez, that might have been me! I didn't include any scrunchies, though.

My SS was super vague and basically just said "I like cute stuff!"

If it's any consolation, I spent like three hours going back and forth trying to pick out the best things!

>>8861015
>>8861596
That was from me, actually. Sorry that you can't use the scrunchies yet, but at least they make for cute bracelets too, right? heheh.
> I'm in an area where I've never even seen a Daiso
That's exactly what I thought, and the Daiso stuff was also to pad it out more, since I didn't want to just send you 2 things!

>>8861639
Yes they do! I had the flower dustplug you sent me on my phone for like a solid month after I got it. So yeah, thank you again because the gifts were amazing and the Nagisa is on my itabag already as well.

>>8861596
Sorry anon wasn't me but if they liked cute stuff then I definitely learned that Daiso has it. Wish we'd get one here since now I'm definitely addicted.

JC here, no worries!

LT in Vic and AH in QLD, I've had some unexpected personal problems (my mother had heart surgery and I need to be home mostly to look after her). Hopefully there will be no serious delay, but I wanted to give you a heads up!

>tfw have not been name dropped

>>8862191
Maybe your gifter just doesn't need to name drop at the moment?

>>8862131
Me again, AH what type of phone do you have by the way?

>>8862203
Oh! I have a Samsung Note 3. Sorry, I messed up when I first replied to OP's email.
Also no worries at all! I hope that your mother is okay!

Something maybe important I forgot from my form for other matches (AH from QLD) is that I wear Otome! More LG/ETC bright and quirky. Oops!

MN from NY my tracking says that your package arrived on Thursday. I hope it got to you safely!

>>8862317
AH how many people have signed up for the highest bracket for you? I want to make sure I'm not giving you something someone else has given you.
PS I'm not a stalker, but I do love your stuff.

KB from CA, your present should be arriving on Tuesday

RM from OH, your gift is on it's way.

AH from QLD! Im trying to place a Taobao order and have it sent to you but my SS is refusing to send to your address if I pay by my PayPal, so there may be a delay in your gift as I will have to pay using Visa and they have a weird system! Ill also send something from myself personally as I feel lame as otherwise!

PW from NZ Ill order a bunch of cute stuff for you as well and have it sent to me so I can send it all to you in one package! Im not too knowledgeable about the fashions you like, but Ill try get something decently cute anyways!

BB from WV and KL from TX I just wanted to say that I have you, but a bunch of my supplies for making your goodies are stuck in china with the lunar new hear and all, and I will probably be sending out your gifts closer to the deadline.
Sorry for the delay, please don't worry! I hope you like everything..

>2 days till payday
>gifts bookmarked and ready for purchase

bump for all waiting anons, in case cancer-chan needs attention again and spams the thread off the board

I just found my giftees in my spam, so no worries. I've just ordered some husbandos and waifu's for my two giftees. I won't name initials yet to keep it exciting, but have a collage of said waifu and husbando. Could they be yours?

I was expecting a different amazon package today so I opened it!
Thank you sooooo much! I've been wanting a new purse, but all my funds have been going toward my itabag so this is perfect! Ahhh I'm so excited to start using it. And I attached the Spiral Heart Moon Wand charm I got from the Seagull Santa to it too.

>>8868361
I'm so glad you like it! It's one of my favorite purses and I've used mine everyday for the past two months and am glad to tell you that it holds up super well.

I'm MR from GA. I'm in an apartment complex, so I won't necessarily know when to check with my leasing office for the package. If whoever got me is reading this, could you post here when you ship out the gift? Thanks!

>>8858392
Hey! Thanks for the answers! I'm hoping to buy some things today.

Sorry if this is too personal of a question, but do you typically fit into non-shirred lolita blouses? To get an idea of your style, what is your dream dress?

CC from AB here! AM, I just got your package and thank you so much!! I'm super excited to try everything out- especially the makeup eraser and the eyeliner. I'm excited about not having to buy makeup wipes, and I've heard sooo many good things about the eyeliner. Thank you again <3 <3 <3
I'll be buying everything on Thursday, I'll post again once it's shipped so you know it's on the way!

>>8868589
You're very welcome!
I'm so glad you like what I picked out!

These lovely unexpected things arrived from japan today. While I didn't enter the White day, I am fairly sure it was a delayed package from secret santa. Thank you so much, anon! I hope yiu see this. They're so beautiful and my favourite colour.

~YL from AB

>>8869421
I'm really happy they made it to you! I was so worried because tracking took ages to actually update. Hopefully AM gets her package soon, too.

>>8870018
Actually, I just got it! I looove the skirt. Axes Femme is my favourite non-lolita brand. Thank you so much!

Great! Axes Femme is my favourite as well. I was so tempted to get a top to go with the skirt, but nothing they had in-stock quite matched. I'm really glad you like it!

Hopefully this time I can make outfits for my partners.

>>8863520
Hi Anon, sorry for the late response! It took me a few days to get to the mail center unfortunately.

I love the keychains though! They're super cute and I'm currently trying to figure out if I'm going to put them on a bag or display them on my shelf. Thank you so much!

responding quickly because this is page 10 already and autosaging! excited to hear it, i am getting half your shit (if you are MA) tomorrow and hope to mail it over the weekend.

For people buying keychains/purses like that Sailor Moon one, are you just using Ali? Wouldn't it take forever, especially because of CNY?

Come on, this thread is in autosage.
