Are we doing a Christmas ๐ŸŽ… raffle this year ?

Well, the title says it all. I know that the skyrocketing postage costs make the generosity of the raffle less and less affordable, but it is still a nice initiative to keep the bond of the forum going โ€ฆ

What fo you say ?

I would be up for it.ย 

The biggest possible hurdle here in Canada is the current ongoing postal strike. So it may take a bit longer to get a prize either coming or going to the Great White North.ย 

But that's why we have a stash...

Iโ€™m in. ย One year I did a gift card for anyone outside to CONUS and a kit from the stash for within. ย  Iโ€™ll probably go the gift card route this year as well. ย

I'm possibly interested.ย  ย What about instead of a raffle we did a Secret Santa?ย  Everyone gets assigned someone to send something too.ย  We can better make sure the recipient gets something they would like and use instead of just a random drawing.

This is my strategy as well.ย  The GC is for the price of what I would send but the funds can be used for anything.ย  I'm in!

Iโ€™ll be setting up a Christmas raffle most likely later today.

Last year, people were constrained by shipping costs, so Iโ€™ll most likely open it up to gift cards in lieu of big boxes if it involve sending out of your Country of residence.ย 
I simply want it to be fun, and fun gets lost when shipping gets to be twice the value of the prize itself.

I can recommend โ€œPirate Shipโ€ shipping. ย It saves a TON on shipping.ย
