The Gift Exchange is closed for 2014! Thanks to everyone who signed up! We here at Genius are the trillest online community there is. The kind of community you wanna take out on a date, see a rom com with, come home, have a few gla**es of wine, see where it goes... maybe even take home to Mama. The kind of community where you'd like to get everybody in it a little somethin'-somethin' to show you that they care.
This is a step in that direction.
You, awesome as you do, sign up. After that, you'll be matched up with a random peep from amongst your peers here on Genius. You'll send them a special gift to say, "Hey! You're kinda great and I appreciate all the cool stuff you're doing to further our collective swagginess!" And they'll do the same for you.
No "Secret Santa" B.S., no "Yankee Swap" meanness. Just good ol' warm and fuzzy holiday cheer, Genius style.
Happy and/or Merry Christmas and/or Hannukah, Kwanzaa, Eid, Festivus, Hunger Games, etc.,
xWHALESHARQx/Wild Rose Chance FAQ Where do I sign up? Right here, bae! Who can sign up? Is this a Mods/Eds-only party? Anyone with a valid Genius account can sign up! Even "Ye Olde Whitehats."
I'm Jewish/m**m/Zoroastrian/atheist/agnostic/etc., can I still participate?
For sure. This is a non-denominational, inclusive gift exchange. Whether you celebrate a traditional Christmas with the turkey and all the fixin's, or you don't celebrate any holiday, you are still included. Is there a price limit on the gifts? Yes. You can buy one gift or many! But please, please don't exceed a total value of $20 American. Not everybody chimmy-ching-ching-could-buy-anything.
You do not need to spend nearly that much, even. That's just a cap. Is there a theme for the gifts? The (totally, completely optional) theme for this year's gift exchange is [YOUR CITY] VS. EVERYBODY! Rep your city/region/country with small gifts that show off local soul! Are there any restrictions on what I can send? No alcohol, no tobacco, no exceptions.
In addition to being a bad look in general, it might also end up costing the recipient of your "gift" a bazillion dollars in import fees if they happen to live in a different country from you.
And it goes without saying that d** of any kind are forbidden... please, use your head.
In addition, people have the option to specify if there's anything they're allergic to, etc., so if you're paired up with someone who's allergic to peanuts, for example, you won't be able to send anything with peanuts.
