Easter Gift Exchange Info
Freedom Fairies
You must be a current member of FFU to join or have been in good standing when your garden retired. So if you like and have let your garden freeze and have been removed, please request membership or notify an admin that your garden is no longer frozen or msg Dianalyn if still frozen.
Please fill out the form completely below if you're interested in being part of this years Easter Exchange. Please also mention if you want to send to your own region or international. Be forewarned, international postage can be pricey like $15-25 (USD) just to ship, especially as we ship Easter candies which can weigh a bit.
This exchange you are given/assigned two names to send one of the below listed ideas or an idea of your choice to each of those two fairies. Further below that are the dates to send by and accept by. Once everyone has received their items from two people and sent to two, we open on the same day (listed below).
NOW for the guidelines and conditions that are non-negotiable if you join.
CONDITIONS
Thanks again for your interest in this years Easter Exchange! ALSO PLEASE NOTE THE DUE DATES - No exceptions!

P.S. I do love these exchanges and the participants are mostly good people who do what needs to be done so that no one feels left out. If there are issues please message me to see if we can fix it.
A big thank you to all who have participated and ensured that their receivers have had a present to open and that those that sent to them know how much they like their gift!

NOW for the guidelines and conditions that are non-negotiable if you join.
CONDITIONS
- We do track those who do not send items to their recipient(s) and will politely message them that we are unable to allow them to join. This has already been tracked and is for any gift exchange.
- WE are not liable for postmaster error see risks above.
For this exchange please don’t sign up if your post office is closed and you have no way to ship to your secret persons. Other options to get something to your person do exist please be willing to problem solve if you want to participate.
If your post office suddenly closes for out of country packages please let Dianalyn know ASAP so we can possibly postpone your person shipping so they don't waste the money. - DO NOT TELL YOUR SECRET PERSONS WHO YOU ARE UNTIL AFTER OPEN DAY although you may have to put your name on the package.
- Admin will no longer send gifts/items to those who have not received something so enter at your own risk. We feel bad but are unable to afford to do this.
- The admin(s) refuse to be harassed, bullied, or messaged a bazillion times that you have not got something. Read previous conditions. Anyone doing this will be removed and their person messaged and transferred. You will not be allowed to join any further exchanges.
- If you are moving please mention this if possible as we are not responsible if your packages get lost.
- This is COMPLETELY voluntary. If you don't want to risk not receiving something or do not want to send please do not join this exchange. Fae that fail to send make this not fun for others! Try to consider how you would feel if someone did not fulfill their end of the exchange; don't be that person.
- Failure to ship on time will affect your participation in future exchanges.
- Failure to reply to my messages will also affect future participation (and yes, I do keep notes).
- Updating the sent document and the received document or commenting on is required (because I am tired of chasing you down - I have a life people).
- Please be considerate and send your items early - procrastination hurts others.
- We will be sending to two people this year. This still allows for postal delays and other unforeseen events, so everyone should still get something if you can only do one please message Dianalyn.
- This exchange is supposed to be a medium exchange so homemade decoration things, spring themed items, knick knacks, jewelry, candy etc. would be appropriate
- Items should cost, with shipping no more than $30 USD with some allowance if sending international.
- Shipping costs are on the rise. Please check the costs with any online calculator before deciding what to send.
- Enrollment in this exchange will run for about two weeks - Jan 28 to February 11.
- Your recipient list of two persons will be sent via private message to you by February 14th
- Packages need to be sent no later then February 28th if going to or from Australia, India or Africa as they take 6+weeks. All other international need to ship by March 8th and all in-country packages need to ship by March 21st. No exceptions will be made. I am tired of the excuses. If you can not send by these dates, please don't join! EASTER IS April 9th
- As you are accepted for this exchange you will be added to the Easter EXCHANGE GROUP please accept, this is required, the group is where we post that we have sent and received our presents. We also post pictures and ask questions, I am unfortunately not available 24/7 so joining also helps you get questions answered sooner. Joining also lets you see if your person has received your gift. You are welcome to leave the group after opening day or stay, its only for 3 months and saves me/your secret bunny time, worry etc. Thank you!
- Opening day is April 9th
- VERY IMPORTANT - Please add me as a Facebook friend so I can add you to the exchange group and to facilitate messaging you with your persons. Please fill out the form below with your address IN POSTAL FORMAT and likes, dislikes, allergies and region you would like to send to by February 11th to be considered for joining this Easter exchange. If your address is completely different, you may also send it to me via message in the format to put on package. Thanks! Watch for the add for the Easter Exchange group!
