Here's how it works:
I have a box full of goodies (related and non-related to Blind Melon) that I will be sending someone. Once this person receives the box, they will take out whatever items they like and put in the same number of new items. They will then mail the box to the next person on the list and so on til the last person mails it back to me
I think this will be a good way for us to give each other gifts without really spending a lot of money. I recommend giving out your own belongings or even making things instead of buying them, but of course feel free to do as you wish. 90% of the things I put in the box were things that either I had extra copies of (such as a spare copy of relix magazine ft. Blind Melon), or things I love but want to share with other people (like my copy of the book "The Alchemist") or even random things I just dont use anymore (scarf, hat).
Anyway, I brought up the subject on our last Yahoo conference and Sonya was the first to show some interest so I'm mailing it to her and Greg first. Barb also wanted to participate, so I guess we could organize it to where once the box gets shipped out to Europe it goes through all the overseas melon's houses before returning to America, it would probably be way cheaper for everyone.
Remember, this is a box so the cost might be a little high to mail. Please remember to check your finances before you get the box so it won't be stuck anywhere. I'll let you guys know how much I paid to ship to Sonya so you can have an idea but keep in mind the weight will vary as different items get thrown in there.
Hmm, what else? I guess try to have the items ready before you get the box so we can get it to everyone quick and enjoy!!
So who wants to participate? Any questions?
PS: ALWAYS come back to this thread and post when you receive the box and when you ship it to the next person so we dont lose track of it
