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.

@Indy701 I'm obsessed with that donut and cupcake wrapping paper. It looks so cute and tasty! I must find something similar here in the states for my holiday gifts....

[Guessgal]

That’s such a cute card! And wow so many skincare products - your face will be glowing! Good to hear your day is looking up as well @Indy701 🙂

[scott1201]

Oooh that looks like my kind of Secret Santa gift - chocolate, skincare and masks! Enjoy every bit. You deserve it 🤗 @Indy701

[myxducky]

I'm glad you gift arrived today when you needed a pick me up like that! That gift wrap is super cute! Hope you have a relaxing night! 😊

[GG84]

@Indy701 Hope your day gets better 🖤❤ That is super cute wrapping paper @Nickelliebear1! 

[Indy701]

@GG84 Thank you 😊. It did. The gift helped a lot and then I laughed off the work stuff. 

[GG84]

@Indy701 My heart palpatates everytime my phone rings (cell is my work phone also). This season I constantly put out fires and try to make sure my 200 clients businesses run smoothly. It's a lot, so I feel ya girl! 

[Indy701]

@GG84 ouch I relate. My work phone routes to my cell. It is funny when people try to avoid me by calling after 5 and I hear the shock when I answer. But I have no where near 200 people to work with at once. End of year is brutal. We shall make it and celebrate on 1/1/2019.

I had another surprise this weekend - @Indy701 had sent over a birthday gift! She wrapped everything so nicely, and I was so excited with the gifts she picked out! I've already worn the Hourglass Scattered Light and it is stunning. I'm also excited to try out the Sephora candles, as they aren't available in Canada and I looove candles! She also wrote out a very thoughtful card ❤️ Thanks so much (again!)

[melissapurple22]

Happy Birthday 🎉 @lachaton what a great surprise 

[lachaton]

Thank you, all! ❤️

@Indy701 That's so neat! I hope she loves the candles 🙂 

[myxducky]

that card is so gorgeous! and happy early birthday @lachaton! enjoy all your goodies!

[Indy701]

@lachaton I’m so happy you like them.   I love the candles. I am giving them to my SIL also as they will be perfect for her. I hadn’t noticed them before your list so thanks for  helping me get SIL brownie points. 😁

[Kim888]

The gift I sent was delivered last week. Patiently waiting for the unboxing 😁

[Aaliaa]

Oh thats probably me ☺️, I'm really sorry @shopaholic15, with work I haven't been able to get to the store before it closes. Really really sorry about the delay. 

[shopaholic15]

Maybe, maybe not 😉
