littlegifts - Profile (original) (raw)

The basic idea of this community is to create a "Secret Santa"-esque gift swap. Moms-to-be and moms are welcome! Every month we will create a new game, in which everyone who wishes to give and recieve a gift will join in. The mods will then "assign" everyone a mom to buy a gift for. You do your shopping, ship off the gift, and wait to recieve yours! Sounds fun, doesn't it?

Feel free to post in this community as you do in others (assuming it's pregnancy/child-related). The more we know about you, the more likely you are to get something that suites your needs/lifestyles. As a common courtesy, please place any and all pictures behind a lj-cut.

Please fill out this form when you join (I suggest making it Friends-Only, because we'll need your mailing address in order for you to recieve your gift! All the addresses will be archived into a single Friends-Only entry for future reference).
