2012 Head-Fi Holiday Gift Exchange - Page 6

When I get matched up, I usually ask my exchange partner what styles they prefer and what styles they don't like at all; I like to surprise people but the goal is a pleasant surprise...

Definitely in! Worldwide is fine with me:) but I'd prefer CONUS because it will be less easily lost haha

Yes, there are a couple of genres I cannot get in to...and I fear that will happen. I'm a creature of habit, too. I listen to them same thing over and over...and over. Though this typically applies while I'm going to bed (Enya playlist, anyone?). Of course, I don't use my turntable for that!  But to each his own. I would hate to be one of those people who has to request that the gifter allow me to return an item they graciously sent me because I really didn't like it. But yes, sometimes change is good and can lead to great things. 

I'm in CONUS

I'm jealous. Visited Nashville this year for the first time and I spent pretty much the whole time I was there at Grimey's.

 

I'm in, CONUS please.

in the past, the website was more user friendly as well.  if this wasnt on the title page, I would have missed it completely.

Well good luck to who ever gets lucky enough to get me :)

My whole gift will come form grimey's

The thing is, the rules of this exchange are all up to the partners. The only real rule stipulated before entering is that you have to be ready to at least buy a new CD to gift, but this exchange is not limited to that.

Usually, after pairing up, you should contact your partner to set down the rules and exchange address information. You can make a list of your favourite artists, or list your favourite genres (or ones you absolutely don't like), or let each person completely surprise the other, or decide to exchange LPs, or decide whatever you agree!

I've been part of this Head-Fi tradition for many years, and I've always left it a surprise I believe. Sure, I like some music that I received better than others, but I have appreciated and listened to them all. It's the spirit of giving that counts and the enjoyment of (hopefully) receiving new music. And of course, you hope that the other person enjoys the music you sent them just as much as you.

Or at least more likely to arrive on time. I did an exchange with someone from Germany once... I think my parcel arrived by February
