So the person I have is also sending me a gift?

From I understood it goes like this Swank: Persons A B C D E are part of the exchange. Person A sends to be C. Person C sends to E. Person E sends to B. Person B sends to D. And person D sends to A.

So you will recieve a gift from one person while sending a gift to another. 

I feel bad for my person... I took a big break from Fazed for a while, so all of my posts are super old. So whatever they want to send is fine, as long as it doesn't have the MPs knocking on my door asking awkward questions. 

Just started buying for my person.
I can't wait to put it all together and get it out the door. 

I'm not sure what to get my person...My lack of knowledge on the obvious gift will make it hard to get the right thing. It's not the person I need to study up on, but their interests. 

you can also ask someone you think might know something about the person... I had someone ask me about someone i obviously talk to a bit. 

Sorry, I forgot to check this thread after I signed up. Thanks for PMing me and reminding me though instead of just being an ass and dropping me. =)

I did the x-change last year and it was a lot of fun. Hopefully this year is great too. 

What to give, what to give.... 

no prob kgb.
I wanted as many people in on this as possible, and I think we ended up with a pretty decent list. 

AHA! I have figured out my person's gifts :D Now to purchase... 

I hope I'm not too hard to decide a present for. I'm not sure if I've posted many other places than the work or relationship threads in the last year. I'll think you're awesome regardless. 

I didn't give ant hints but if the person who has me is stumped they can pm SanSue for ideas. She won't tell me.

Likwise if SanSue's giver is stumped let me know. 

I'm gonna have to do some deep digging to find out anything about my person...

OMG i read that as deep dicking... 

someone's hopin I got her! 

maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe 

All every woman really wants, be it mother, senator, nun, is some serious deep-dicking

 

What is the expected gift value range on these? I'm curious if I'd be spending too much.

Yeah. Too much. That's it. 

Don't worry about it just have fun. Spend five or spend fifty its the giving that counts not the dollar value. 

woot! 

I think in the past it's been $20 but some people spend more. 

People have sent things that they made, things out of their home (think white elephant/regifting) spent a lil, spent a lot, as long as the reciever got there gift i dont think i ever heard anyone complain. 

The stuff I'm looking at is in the $35-$50 range...??? 

Meant to add: That's fine, right? 

as long as it doesnt hurt you finacially to do that go for it. 

woot again! 

Just put effort into it and all is cool. 

There were some exceptional gifts last year. I hope I can compete :) 

I drew a Yankee (of course..), so my goal is to have one good, big thing, a couple cool little things, and then a metric snotload of Canadiana 

I'm just going to spend whatever. Trying to keep it at $20 has made me send some lame presents before. 

mmmm....Canadiana!

/Loves Canadian woman
//And the other cool stuff Canada has. 

Wait until global warming gets here. We'll all love Canada even more then! 

Not me. I'll sail fleets of yachts covered in stainless steel plates.

We'll race to the equator and then cover our hulls with bacon, creating the fastest way to fry bacon in mass production.

I'll accept my award of the Nobel Peace Prize for feeding the worlds hungry with tasty bacon. My home town will name the library after me.

I got this shit worked out yo. 

Is there an easy way to stalk our person so as to learn a bit more about appropriate giftology? I already blew the secret by PMing my person and asking for their name too. So that's cool. I thought this was like the sweetsexchange, where we knew who got us 

no, there is no easy way, i'm working on something tho

I don't like the sound of this 

I'm a terrible stalker.
I haven't been able to find any posts from my person, even though I know they are pretty active in the forum.

So I'm resorting to plan B. and just sending candy/sweets, local shtuff, and cutesy little shit. 

you can do a search by forum posts...and just enter their name 

I did that last year...it didn't help by much, but what can ya do :) 

That only pulls up posts with their name in it, right?
Not actually posts they've made, which would be several times more helpful.
thanks for the tip though.
at least it's something. 

Well, it pulls up both. 

no it won't 

Only posts where called out by name and possibly quoted? 

Right - but you can then go to the thread where they were quoted.

I really didn't know a thing about my giftee last year, so it helped. 

Y'know, all o' you hosers with the webcams could really dork it up by opening things on that Fazed Live thingie. 

PS: google indexs the complete forum, dudes.
Learn how to use google on a particular site,
and you can do one better than the slorum's built-in search function. 

indexifies* 

share it up, dude. don't hog all the googling for yourself 

Type into the Google box:

site:www.fazed.net "From: Dedpoet" 

hmm, so my person participates in mostly the "forum chat" threads, and not like the "I love horror movies and mustard of the month club" threads
