Irish Bloggers Christkindl
By
Had this crazy notion on the way home on Friday. There was a bit of twitter chatter about Santa hats and what not. So I thought how about an Irish Bloggers Christkindl? I wondered how it would work in practice, and then by chance a tweet by enormous pointed me to Elfster which automates the whole process.
Don’t know if it has been done before, but there’s always a first time for everything right?
Sign up date is the 1st December – that’s when the Elfster system will do the draw, so that’s the date you need to sign up by. When you are signing up, you can use your blog name as first name.
Spending limit is €15 (or £12.50) – and the gift guideline is “Anything, be creative”.
After the draw date, you can contact the person you are buying for through the Elfster website.
The sign up page is here —-> Ho ho ho.

It’s just a matter of signing up – the Elfster website does the rest. You get allocated a person to buy a gift for. You buy them a gift and send it by post. Similarly someone sends a gift to you – but you won’t know who it’s from either. That’s basically it?

Exciting stuff!
However, 1) I’m not Irish, and 2) Is it exclusively for your regular readers and the ones you already know?
