[Announcement] HOLIDAY BOOK/GIFT EXCHANGE
Author Summary
bluebelle236 is in Announcement
Post Body

We know its not even Halloween yet, but its time for r/bookclub's FOURTH annual Secret Santa / book exchange! If you've joined us in previous years, it's much the same as before but with the addition of allowing gifting of Amazon kindle books, as this option is now available in certain countries...

Details:

  • You must have a minimum of 300 comment karma AND/OR a registered Reddit account for 1 year to participate.
  • Gifts should be around $20-25 or £/€ equivalent.
  • Participants will be matched to others within their same country/region.
  • If you are the only person from your country/ region that wants to take part, unfortunately we won't be able to match you up with anyone and you will not be able to participate this time.
  • Secret Santa's can choose to add in other little gifts to send along with the book if the recipient provides their mailing address
  • There is no guarantee that you will receive a gift; very occasionally, some people sign up and never send the gift. However, if you sign up and do not send your recipient anything, you will not be permitted to participate in future gift exchanges and you will be banned from the sub.

Options!

  • Submit an Amazon wish list - your Secret Santa can order off of your wish list and ship it directly to you without seeing your shipping address.
  • For Amazon Kindle books, gifting is available in certain countries, if it is available in the country your kindle is registered to, please provide the email address linked to your Amazon account. (Be sure to check your junk mail regularly if you are expecting an ebook as a gift)
  • Request an order or a gift certificate from your local bookshop - just provide the details for the bookshop of your choice!
  • Provide your shipping address and let your Secret Santa do the rest!

In summary - If you provide a link to your Amazon wish list, your Santa will order directly from Amazon and never see your address, or you can have an ebook gifted if you provide an email address if this option is available in your country. However, that means your Santa can't add in any other tiny gifts for you.

If you request an order or gift certificate from your local bookshop, please provide the bookshop's info. Your Santa will contact the bookshop and order the items for you from there. The most open option is to provide your shipping address and some info about the books you like / list a few books you'd like. This way, your Santa can pick out a book for you and perhaps even include a few other tiny gifts and mail their package to you.)

Timeline:

  • Cut-off date for joining is November 16th
  • Recipient info will go out November 17th-20th
  • Please send gifts by post by December 11th and electronic by December 15th

If you'd like to participate, please fill out this questionnaire! Any questions, you can comment below or feel free to send us a mod mail or message one of us privately.
