Looking ahead to the PPOT Gift Exchange...

[recycled sixtie]

I know that it is almost 2 months to Xmas. I would be more than happy to administrate it again this year. If no challengers to me doing it again then I need your input.

What should be the maximum $$ amount spent?

I believe in sending gifts early so as to ensure that the gifts arrive before Xmas.

I think that if you get the same giftee within 2 years then you can request another one.

Specific giftee requests are discouraged.

If anybody else wants to replace me as gift adminstrator feel free and I do welcome any suggestions on improving it- speak freely.

Cheers, Guy

I think 20$ is good...

And you did a fabulous job last year so you have my vote!

Just ran across some old p-car stuff I cannot wait to unload to someone :--)

Just a suggestion:
How about if we feed the hungry or an help an "angel tree" child? I'd gladly give up getting more stuff. Or, let's pool our money and make a donation to a worthy cause?

That's a different thing. The spirit of the PPOT gift exchange was to give something (an object) that you already had at home. You weren't supposed to o out an buy something. It was not about the dollar value of the item, necessarily. The only financial requirement was that it was supposed to be $$ reasonable to send (so no shipping someone a spare motor or transmission, for example).

Organizing a charity (great idea) would be different than the PPOT x-mas gift x-change. Not sure a charity would want old crap from our collective PPOT closets and basements.

must be something or things you have-
you know, that old laser sight you had lying around that you never use any more
or some cool electrical connectors from your tool box

Are you going to deny me an opportunity to clean out my office? I don't think so, this PPOT gift thing is on!

I think hair loss is the least of his worries. Dude, you ever heard of "Lemon Pledge"? Well, make a pledge to dust that damn shelf!

[red-beard]

Damn! Need an eye-bleach station in here.

The spirit of this is to send something you already have. Possibly with a Porsche reference or targeting someone's interests known from the board. It can be a white elephant, something funny or or something useful.

Let us know when you are ready! I'm game!
