The Great Holiday Mug Exchange Sign Up Thread!

The holiday season is fast approaching, so in the spirit of community and generosity that is so common here on B&B, I present the 2013 Holiday Mug Exchange! The idea is for B&B members to spread a little holiday cheery sending each other coffee mugs, filled with goodies. Nothing too extravagant; maybe some chocolates, holiday coffee, or a soap sample (this is B&B, after all!).

This exchange is open to ALL B&B members. If you choose to participate, reply to this post, with the usual "I'm in" for something similar (really, just make it clear that you want to participate). Also include in your post where you live, and whether or not you would be willing/able to ship a mug internationally. I understand that international shipping is expensive, so it's ok if you can't spare that extra expense (budgets are tight enough this time of year!).

The list will be open until December 4th, at 10:00 PM, EST. I will post the official list sometime on December 5th.

Once the list is up, and mugs start shipping out, I'll start a "Mug Shots" thread, where you can post pictures of what you got!

This is a fun, inexpensive way to celebrate the holidays with the B&B community, so please, join in! If you decide to participate, I would also ask (if you can) to put a link to this thread in your signature for the next two weeks, to help more people find it. The Barbershop doesn't get frequented as often as other forums, so the more eyes we get on this thread, the more folks will hopefully participate!
 
I'm in! I think it would be best for me to stay CONUS on this one.

Can we get a pin on this thread?
 
I'll give it a go!

I'm willing to ship anywhere from Iowa.

The Brown Leaf does something similar with their annual BL Secret Santa exchange. I'm not sure how you planned to exchange addresses, but on that thread everybody signs up and PM's their address to the organizer, BL Santa. BL Santa then PM's the sender with the address provided by their "kid". There are further complexities in that thread but we don't need to deal with wish lists or any such thing here.

The idea is, I will post the final list. The first person on the list sends a mug, to the second, second to the third, and so on. The last person on the list sends to the first. Just PM the person below you to get their mailing address.
 
I think you should embrace that idea; it will make for interesting pictures, to say the least.

Still time to getin on this, folks!
 
Sorry to be a bit late, things have been hectic...I'll post the official list tomorrow, then the exchange can begin!
