It’s about to get festive in here!
Hi, friends! Icy here, bringing you the kick-off to one of BlogClan’s biggest events. . . our 4th annual Holiday Gift Exchange!
Interested? You should be. 😉 Confused? So am I. Allow me to explain!
If you sign up, you will be given the name of another applicant. This person is known as your BlogClan Buddy. You are tasked with giving a gift to your Buddy, and you’ll get a gift in return! (Although not from the same person.) But the fun part is that it’s secret! Nobody knows who will give them their gift (you can find out after the gifts are given.)
Gifts can be anything – a poem, art, fanfiction, even a compliment! Anything you think your BlogClan Buddy would like to receive. You don’t have to paint a gorgeous fursona or write a fantastic poem, so don’t even worry. If it comes from the heart, it is perfect. 🙂
Sign-ups are from now until November 17th, 2019. After that date, sign-ups will be closed! After everyone has signed up, I will sort you into pairs. From there, you will be contacted by me or one of my minions– I mean, henchmen I MEAN MY ELVES. Ahem. You will be contacted by me or one of my loyal elves on the platform of your choosing. (Wiki chat, Discord, secret page, etc.) Then, you have from the time you receive notice of your BlogClan Buddy until December 29th, 2019 to finish your gift and send it in. If you cannot send your gift in by that date, we cannot say with certainty that your gift will make it into the official posts. (We will do our best to accommodate, of course! If you think you’ll be late, please let us know. 🙂 )
Sign-ups are now closed!
I hope I explained everything in an orderly fashion! If you are confused about anything, or have any questions at all, please do ask me! I have all the answers. 😉 Cheers, folks! Let’s make this the best Holiday Gift Exchange ever!
I missed it because I didn’t have any of the contact methods, is there a chance I could still get a blogclan buddy?
Unfortunately, I don’t think so 🙁 It’s already so late into the gift exchange and the partners have already been given out… but there’s always next year? 😀
Sad, thanks anyways.
You know, for a bit I was freaking out because I thought the due date was NOVEMBER 29th…..
Hahah I haven’t finished my gift as well!😜
same!
Me neither! Still sitting on what I’ll dozzzzz 😛
aha same 😛
I only just recieved who I have 😛
When do we find out who we have? I opted for the secret page one
did the form ask if you can finish your gift by the 29th? for some reason i thought it said the 17th
You have until the 29th to send it in 🙂 The 17th of November was the time period for signing up in the first place!
oh ok thanks
Where do we send in our art, fanfiction, poems, ect? Would a moddo send you a secret page to send it in to?
Hi! You can put your gift here or on the Tavern. Just specifically say “DO NOT MOD – This is my gift for (person)!” 🙂
Ok, thx!
How do you send in the gifts?
Put it in a comment here or on the Tavern! If it’s art, post a link. Fanfic/poem/etc can be posted as is, no outside links needed. Just make sure you say “DO NOT MOD – This is my gift for (person)” 🙂
Thanks!
How can I send the link of my art when I’m not able to use Imgur? 🙁
Hi Crystie! If you can’t use Imgur, you could upload it to the wiki and use that link instead. 🙂
Icy, but will my buddy know then?? 😛
Is it possible you could put your gift in a google doc and paste the link in a comment?
Can I DM you a picture? I’ll message you and Rainie 😛
Oh that would be a good option too 😛
No… I can’t use google as well… but maybe I’ll try using wiki after I log out!! 😛
I currently have the same problem oof and I try not to mess with google docs 😛 Wiki is how I normally do things but people can see it, and I don’t have permission to use imgur… 😛
Hey i’m confused about the secret page. How can I find it?
Click this link!
[birchy edit: you did sign up! your preferred method of contact was discord so I can send you a message there if you’d like, but alternatively: you’re making a gift for Willow that Sways with Breeze!]
wait did i sign up for this gift exchange or did i do a goof in the contact part
if i did sign up and buddies aren’t out yet for everyone then ignore this
Hey, Icy! I’ve finished my gift. 🙂 But I can’t use imgur, and people would be able to see it on the wiki. And… I don’t touch google docs like Cheetah suggested so uh… Idk how to send it in. 😛
Hey Blue! If you feel comfortable emailing it to me, let me know. 🙂
Yes, that would be good! I did that with Rainie during one of the Monthly Contests. I have a BlogClan email that I used. 🙂
Sweet. 🙂 iceflower322 @ gmail.com (I separated it just so spambots can’t find a clickable link. 😛 )
Email sent! 🙂
Email received! Thank you muchly.
No problem! 🙂
So, is there a specific page at the end of the month all of the gifts will be on or do they get sent as soon as they are sent in?
Hi! One of our lovely mods will make a post that includes all of the gifts we’ve received. If you haven’t sent in your gift by the deadline, it likely won’t be included. (Let us know if you might be late. We can try to work around you. ❤ )
Ahh, I see. I sent mine in!
Hii just sent my gift through the tavern with dont mod and everything but when I posted it it completely disappeared? That’s supposed to happen, right?
Did you get it?
Hi Puddle! It was in the spam folder. I got it out!
Well, I’m glad I checked! Thank you Icy!
It’s probably too late now but I’ve been really busy and inactive lately so I don’t really know what to do. Sorry!
if you can get in a gift that’d be awesome! doesn’t have to be too complicated, even a compliment or something works! don’t stress about it 🙂
Thank you so much Rainie! I really appreciate it!
