How does it work?

The MLPTP Holiday Swap is just like Secret Santa, each participant is given another MLPTP member to send a swap box full of goodies to, based on the recipient's wish list. In turn, the sender will receive a swap box based on their own wish list from someone else!

To help you get in the spirit, check out our many previous MLPTP Holiday Swaps!

2021 ~ 2020 ~ 2019 ~ 2018 ~ 2017 ~ 2016 ~ 2015 ~ 2014 ~ 2013 ~ 2012 ~ 2011 ~ 2010 ~ 2009 ~ 2007 ~ 2006 ~ 2005

Everyone will send/get one or a few ponies from their wish list, along with some jolly fun gifts, tailored for them from their wish list by their "Santa". The gifts will also be wrapped and made festive! You will ship and receive a box full of merry!

MLPTP Swap Etiquette to Follow
  • You must include at least one pony in the swap box you send.
  • Extras should be based on suggestions from your recipient's wish list--strive to make sure their gifts are tailored to them.
  • All items must be wrapped. Think about it... how FUN is it to unwrap gifts?
  • Remember to include a card and let your partner know who you are.
  • Delivery confirmation (domestic) or receipt of sending (international) is required! This way if something is lost, we're not mad at you, but it will be the post office's fault. Purchasing insurance for your package is strongly recommended!
  • Be sure to package your swap box for a safe secure delivery! This means using a sturdy box, packing tape, and filling all empty space in the box with packing material (packing peanuts / bubble wrap / etc) so that no part of the box collapses in transit. Make sure your labels are clear and legible!
  • When shopping for ponies, keep in mind that ponies should be in great condition! The MLPTP Swap rule of thumb is: Send a package that you would be thrilled to receive yourself.

IMPORTANT STEPS:

  1. Send your tracking number and/or proof of postage to the swap host by 12/12.
  2. Once you've received your box, you must post a thank you brag in the Show n Tell thread. Your sender is anxiously waiting to know how much you love your box, and everyone else would love to see what you received! Failure to complete this step will result in a neutral feedback for the swap.
  3. The mods here at the MLPTP are very busy and will quickly be moving along to the next swap, game, contest, or other activity. Please open your boxes and complete step #2 above by 12/25 (Obviously if your box arrives after this date for some reason you will be exempt.)
  4. If you have any concerns with ANYTHING you MUST contact the swap host ASAP. We will always work together to come to a fair and decisive conclusion.

Given the circumstances of the last couple years, we have decided to start the sign ups earlier than usual. We want to give members time to shop and deliveries time to get to their destinations.

Therefore, I want to
stress the importance of the deadlines listed below and importance of communication.

Everyone who signs up and sends a package should be able to also receive a package in a timely manner. If you are not confident you can have your package shipped by the deadline, please think twice. There will be other fun festivities to participate in. We understand things arise and some things can't be controlled, that's okay but we also want everyone who participates to enjoy the swap and be assured to have their gifts before the holiday.

If for any reason you run into issues you must communicate with the swap host so we can work it out. Failure to ship by the required deadline or communicate issues in a timely manner may result in a negative feedback. We want to make sure the swap is fair and fun for all who participate.

Not sure if I qualify... but I asked lol

More fun winter festivities will be coming soon which will not have post or activity requirements. ;)
Ooooh can't wait to see what it is!
 
I do not qualify this year, but hopefully next year I can join in the fun :D
 
Crud! If I had old feedback around here it's been lost a long long time ago, so I don't think I'll qualify this year.
