Talk about everything and anything here!

Who else is updating their wishlists like a crazy person??

Just make sure you also have some books that are available on Smashwords for international gifting!!

It’s a pleasure to be here Heather, I’ve still not picked my wish’s yet!!

[Gustaf]

I had a go at mine this morning

I added about 30 books last night!

[Trio]

I've got to add some affordable options to mine... all that's on there is expensive stuff right now!

[Hemmel M.]

I am in the mood for some short holiday novella's. I don't read those often, so I can start browsing GR.

Same!! I need some under $2 books

[iain]

Hello I think I put some books on my wish list.. who knows 😂

[iain]

Where would I be able to put and get ebooks for my list?

[Hemmel M.]

Amazon for US or Smashwords for Global gifting.

[iain]

Ok thanks ☺️

[iain]

Ive signed up to smashwords, do I just put the ebooks on the wish list there?

I add them to my elfster wishlist and leave it up to people to decide where to purchase

[Sandra]

There's a Chrome extension for Elfster. It allows you to go to a book site like Smashwords or Amazon, and click on the extension directly from the book page to add it to Elfster. You can also add books from GR to your wish list that way, last I tried.

Maybe I should give it a try this year. Been thinking about it every year but never actually gotten to it.

[Halez]

Question, do we have to have anything on our wishlist? I am open to any kind of books. :P

[Hemmel M.]

Halez, when finding gifts for several people, it is nice to have all the lists on the same platform. Now, we have to look into your 'read' shelf for every title we'd like to give you, and have to hope you are very accurate in keeping it updated. Also, as an international participant, it is nice if someone already looked on Smashwords which titles are offered there.

I got a notification about someone wishing for something but it wasn't a ebook so I looked at the persons wishlist there wasn't ebooks on the list.

I'm going to do a deep search tomorrow and remove people if they don't have things that follow our criteria!!

[Nadine Bookaholic]

Heather, my person doesn't have a wishlist or anything that helps me find them here. ☹

I also have a person who doesn't have a wishlist and couldn't find her profile either

[M'rella]

Same here. It looks like it's getting worse and worse every year.

Can you let me know who you have in a PM- I'm trying to work on it all now! That's what I get for being last minute this year!! Elfster was too fast for me

[Heather K (dentist in my spare time)]

I can see your match's wishlist- it might be not set to public- PM me!

[Heather K (dentist in my spare time)]

M'rella wrote: "Same here. It looks like it's getting worse and worse every year."

I"m working on it! Can you send me who you have? I've already shifted some stuff around ;)

[Heather K (dentist in my spare time)]

PHEW- just removed and rearranged people as quickly as I could!! Please re-check your matches if your match didn't have a wishlist, ebooks, or romance books. I've been a busy girl!

[Shari-amor]

oh wow. We just getting started and Elfster is already acting up. Did they not give you the option to match up, Heather?

Shari-amor wrote: "oh wow. We just getting started and Elfster is already acting up. Did they not give you the option to match up, Heather?"

They didn't, but I usually do it early in the day and I was working and busy all day, so when I checked it, they already matched it for me! I usually beat elfster to the punch! But I've been busy removing and reassigning people with non-compliant matches, and I'm prepared to gift to a LOT of people myself this year, lol!!!

[M'rella]

Heather, here is my former partner

Heather, I can take on another match if needed :)

Yup- I booted her! You should have a new match now :)

You're the best!! I'll let you know if I need more help xo

[M'rella]

Heather, thank you so much for dealing with so many extra complications in so little time! You are amazing 😍

My pleasure- this exchange is my baby so I have to make sure it goes smoothly ;)

[Hemmel M.]

O, what a different year we are having! I remember this topic to be full of people greeting each other, friendly replies to posts, and banter.

Let's turn another page, people.

[Hemmel M.]

Today, it's snowing for the first time. My rabbits need a thick layer of straw.
I am happy to see a lot of familiar accounts. Dumbledore and Relly I meet regularly on GR. Nice to see you!
But M'rella, Shari, Nadine, Angela, nice to see you again.
And the people I drew previous years: Gustav, Iam, Daniel, Kristy, I feel like I have a special connection to you, although I never admitted to being your Santa.

[Nadine Bookaholic]

Hi Hemmel

It's nice to see so many people returning this year.

[Jenn (not Lily)]

Hemmel, I look forward to seeing you here each year!

[Sandra]

Hi Hemmel! I hope all is well with you. It has been kinda quite around here, but I'm sure that will change.

Ah-ha! That's one year's mystery solved. 😜

Hi, Hemmel! 😘

[Julie]

Ok, I just figured out how to manually add a smashwords book to my wishlist and I am INORDINATELY proud of myself! (slow clapping commence!)

[Fran]

I’m so excited to get started! I must have missed the email with the pairing, but I checked Elfster and I’m all set.

It’s really nice to see everyone here, I agree with you Hemmel!

[Aղցela W.]

Hi everyone welcome back

BRAVO, Julie. I know from experience that it's not a simple thing. :)
