Canadian Secret Santa 2018

[lachaton]

**Sign-ups are closed**

Hi everyone! Since dyslexia cannot organize the exchange this year, I'm willing to head up a Secret Santa. I made a few changes to her rules, so please review this post carefully before signing up. 

Rules for 2018:

1. Open to both Canada & US. If in US, you must be willing to ship to Canada. If in Canada, you can specify that you want to only ship within the country.
2. Active BIC participant: Must have have a minimum 600 hearts and must have posted at least once within the last 3 months (since July 10, 2018). Since this is my first time running this exchange and we've had the recent change from BT to BIC, I'm going to be strict with this requirement.
   You can check your hearts by going to your profile at https://www.sephora.com/users/[YOUR USERNAME HERE] scroll down to posts, and click on "view all" - top right will show your total hearts received. 
   It isn't intended to reinforce a clique at all, but since we are exchanging some personal information, I want to ensure that the people who sign up will follow through. One of the ways we do that is by selecting an eligibility requirement based on activity and involvement in the community. If you don't meet the requirements this year, please be encouraged to continue to participate in the community in the future! 
3. Exchange will run via Elfster -- when you sign up please PM me with your email address so I can send your invite.
4. Deadlines:
   Sign-up cut off date: Friday, October 26, midnight EST. 
   Matching day: between Saturday, October 27 and Monday, October 29 Please also have your Elfster wishlist(s) up to date by then.  
   Ship-by date: Tuesday, December 11th (based on Canada Post shipping guidelines for 2018). Feel free to send sooner!
5. Spending minimum is CAD$50. This is a minimum, not a maximum. You may go over the minimum limit, but there is no expectation nor is it necessary for you to do so. This is a total, so it can be made up of either one bigger item, or a few smaller items.

I wish I could participate this year, but sadly it's just not in the cards. But I will be stalking this thread to keep an eye on all the holiday fun - yay! Big thanks to @lachaton for taking this on. ❤️ ❤️

[Alexmarya]

I really want to participate 🙂 this will be my first year!

[Lazybeautybeast]

Oh...I'm tempted to participate but I think things will be to hectic over the next few weeks. I can't wait to stalk the thread to see all the unboxings! 

[Indy701]

I’ve never had a reason to make a registry before. This is fun.  😂 

[Kim888]

I'd love to participate @lachaton ! I am definitely willing to ship to Canada! 

[fatimamummy]

Thank you for the tag @lachaton , Unfortunately I may have to sit this one out but I’m interested in joining the TSB if you or anyone else starts one. 

[gonerogue]

What a great idea! I look forward to stalking this thread for all of the fun surprises you gals get. Have fun shopping everyone! 🙂

[myxducky]

Watching unboxings is one of my favorite things about exchanges 😊

[GG84]

PS how do you tell how many hearts you have? This is not something i've ever sought out.

[bakeamuffin]

@GG84 on your profile click on your Posts and it will bring you to a new page that shows how many hearts you have, how many posts you’ve made, and you can scroll through all of your posts. Hope that helps! ☺️

[meghanneshea]

I'm short on hearts this year but it sounds like something fun to do so you can bet I’ll be back next year to partcipate! I hope everybody has a great time this year 🙂 

[Nickelliebear1]

@meghanneshea - literally the reason I've been super active in the past 24 hours.  Nothing ventured, nothing gained.  😜 

[GG84]

@meghanneshea Keep posting you may get there!

[meghanneshea]

@GG84 That’s the plan! I visit the community almost daily, I just have to actually post a bit more.

[ayeshayh]

YAY I've been waiting for this! I have over 1000 hearts and have participated in the last two (or three?) Canadian Secret Santa exchanges. And also one birthday exchange. The only thing is that Im not entirely sure I've posted in the last three months. To be honest ever since the format of BT changed I haven't been on much 😐 I lurk here and there but definitely not every day like I used to. I just look forward to the Canadian secret santa <3. I've been meaning to get back into the BT community. 

Please let me know if I'm eligible to join. I'd love to be apart of this again 🙂 

[Samtian]

@ayeshayh It's good to see you back!

[Nickelliebear1]

@ayeshayh Wouldn't this count as a post?  😛 

[ayeshayh]

Not this time unfortunately 😞 Have fun! And looking forward to the unboxings!

[melissapurple22]

@lachaton I would like do be a part of this exchange 💜 This would be the first time for me 🤗 But I would love to be a part of this and share some 🎄  Spirit with one of my fellow BT community members! 

[Indy701]

@lachaton  I’d like to join in this year. Is there an amount we shouldn’t go over if sending US to Canada?  Thank you for setting this up
