I had fun doing this last time so count me in again. I'll ship worldwide.

I don't understand the list.
Are you going to connect gifters with each other? I am OK with Canada and US but prefers Canada. 

 
Yes I will be assigning them randomly using the numbers next to the names.

 

[CloudeKr]

uh im willing to ship worldwide too

We'll put it up on the homepage later today (tomorrow my time), guys.

Great to see the surge in uptake
 
BTW I can't see myself on the list, am I the only UK/EU? if so stick me in with the internationals

 

[HarryWarner1]

I'd be happy to ship worldwide, so long as I can use websites that are based overseas to buy my partners gift... which I see no problem with. Change me to overseas if there are no other Australian's on the list )

I'm in Canada, will ship anywhere.

Around 30 people, where's head- fi at?!

 

[lord_tris]

bout the same as last year and the year before as well. People would seem not to be as giving as they used to be.

Crying shame that seems to be a trend.

 

[Voxata]

Well, I can't wait to experience this!

  Crying shame that seems to be a trend.

 
Yeah, I agree.  I've subbed to this event since joining Head-Fi, and have met some cool people as a result.  Recommend it to all Head-Fiers.  After all, it's only a CD or two - and you get 'em in return. What could be easier?
 
Cheers All,

My first go at this idea, so what is the basic buying strategy. Are we typically going to be paired with someone in the same country, if possible? And if that is not possible, does one shop on the Amazon site in the recipients country, or send an international parcel? Just curious what the general consensus is.

Pro Tip: if someone is not really that keen on surprises (or is very afraid of disappointments)  Amazon allows you to create a wish list which you can later on share - put few titles you are interested in and ask your head-fi gift exchange partner to purchase anything from that list, you still get an element of surprise but it's guaranteed to be something the other person wanted to get.

I'm looking forward to the surprise.  I view this as an opportunity to learn about something new in the way of music I might not have found otherwise.  To me, that is part of the fun.
