| YorkieTalk Gift Exchange XXIX Signups! The next YorkieTalk Gift Exchange, YT GE XXIX, our twenty ninth Gift Exchange, will take place in August 2012. Remember that the person you are giving a gift to MAY or MAY NOT be the same person you are receiving a gift from. You MAY or MAY NOT be paired with a Yorkie of the opposite sex. There is no official theme for this GE. Effective January 2012, we have revised some rules of the YorkieTalk Gift Exchange. Please be aware of the new rules. Please note that the new minimum has been raised to $40. Here is the link to the GE Rules & Regulations: YT Gift Exchange Rules and Regulations PLEASE NOTE THE BELOW if your Secret Buddy lives in Canada or the United Kingdom or overseas: We suggest you use the US Postal Service to mail to Canada or a non-USA address (as UPS and Fedex charges additional fees). Also, please note to mark your item as a gift, and please do not claim it as more than $50, otherwise your Secret Buddy will have to pay import taxes on it. If you have any questions about this, please contact us. Thank you! Please read the links below if your Secret Buddy lives in Canada: Mailing Gifts to Canada - Stay Clear of Duties and Taxes When Mailing Gifts to Canada Canada Post - Customs Requirements Please note in order to participate: - You are a Donating Member of YorkieTalk. - You have 250 or more posts here at YorkieTalk (before you sign up in this thread). - You joined YorkieTalk before April 1, 2012. - Please do NOT send your Secret Buddy any USED toys or clothes. Re-gifting a new item you may have received is fine, but any USED items are not allowed. YorkieTalk Gift Exchange Signup Please make sure you have read the Gift Exchange Rules and Regulations thread as well as the Gift Exchange FAQ before you sign up! Please do not sign up unless you are CURRENTLY a Donating Member. Please note that the spending minimum is now $40 for your Gift Exchange gift (this does not include shipping), though if you choose to spend more on your Secret Buddy, you may. Please do not expect anything more. Here is the YT Gift Exchange Rules & Regulations. We now require all participants to be Donating Members (members that have donated $25 or more). If you are ALREADY currently a Donating Member (your usertitle shows Donating Member), this does not apply to you. We must receive your donation before you may sign up for this Gift Exchange. If you want to enter two Yorkies in this Gift Exchange, you must have donated a total of $50 or more. Here is the YT Gift Exchange FAQ. Please note that you MAY receive a secret buddy in Canada (if you are in the US), and you MAY receive a secret buddy in the US (if you are in Canada). Be prepared to pay a few dollars more in shipping costs if this is the case. If you receive a secret buddy in Europe or overseas, there will be extra shipping costs, thus you will be reimbursed roughly $19 for the extra shipping. We will reimburse you via Paypal or cashier's check after the recipient receives their gift. Also, to save on shipping costs, you may want to keep the package "lighter". If you are not in the USA or Canada, there is a $20 shipping fee to participate per Gift Exchange. Your Secret Buddy will be reimbursed this $20 fee after you have received your package. This covers the extra costs of shipping international. This thread is ONLY for SIGNUPS. Do not post any questions or anything else besides sign up in this thread. Please PM us if you have any questions. You must already have your Yorkie (if you are a new Yorkie parent) by April 1, 2012 to participate in this Gift Exchange.

If for some reason you sign up and can not participate in this Gift Exchange, you MUST notify us before the end of the signup period. You may send gifts starting August 1, 2012. The deadline for sending out gifts will be August 31, 2012. Please note you must post a "Thank You" thread to your buddy within 2 weeks of receiving your package, unless you notify us in advance (family vacation, emergencies, etc).

Jack came to us as a foster child. He was born with only one of his eyes formed and at first the vet thought he had premature cataracts. His breeder wanted him PTS. Thankfully our vet contacted me first. Even though Jack was to be adopted out, my dh and I fell in love with him and he is now a part of our family. So because of his one eye, we keep him in a puppy cut with hair over the unformed eye. for this reason he will never have a topknot, so no need for bows, bands or fancy hair equipment. He loves toys, his favorite game is fetch.

Yorkies’ Favorite Toys, Snacks, Clothing style –Tuffy likes toys that squeak,rattle, talk, bark, or make other cool noises. We don’t give him any made inChina anymore (he had a really bad intestinal bug when he was a little thing& I’m certain it was China chicken). He’d love a new Himalayan chew. He’s areal casual dawgie when it comes to clothes. He frequently goes with Dad on thesemi truck so any treats he gets usually come from Dad J Yorkies’ favorite colors –I think he looks awesome in all sorts of colors. Have you participated in any past YT Gift Exchanges? Yes, this is our 7th GE at least (LOL, I’ve lost count!) Has your address changed since the last one you participated in? will pm admin Here’s his photo album on YT…have a look! http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/album.php?albumid=8071 Tuffy is a trucking dawgie; he’ll go with DH over the road occasionally. Tuffybecame a big brother to Bella a year or so ago & she doesn’t like thesemi-truck, so now I stay home. I make dog sleep sacks & beds as well as bowstoo but it’s nice to have a variety. We use Madan brushes & combs & areset for harnesses. It’s pretty hot here in Florida so please, think lightweightif you chose clothing for him (I’ve wrestled with myself at least a hundredtimes about cutting his hair short *sigh*). We hope you have a good timefinding little stuff you think he may like. Whatever you decide to do is finewith us but we INSIST you have fun; no stressing over what to get him. Thesewere just a few ideas of what we already use or have so that you don’t feelyou’ve wasted energy, time, or money…after all; it’s all about the FUN! J
