C&G Gift Registry

[Zoonie 0]

For anyone who hasn't seen our C&G Gift Registry before, I'll try and simplify how it works.

The Gift Registry has been running for some time now, it's supported by regular members, for regular members only, not for people who have joined the group, but don't participate in it!

If we know that a regular CeeGeean is off line for holidays/vacations; illness, or computer breakdown (not simply if they don't have time to play) then members who wish to, donate items of TWS, which are collected and then gifted from the Group as a whole, trying to ensure that no one misses the TWS items through no fault of their own. Regular members who have been absent from the game are gifted ONE of each of the TWS that we have, if we have it.

As donations are entirely voluntary, sometimes stock is not available. It would be nice if most regular members could spare something, as up to now a few people are donating a lot, and it's expensive for their accounts.

Repayment is not necessary, but in the spirit of friendship, a future donation is a kind thing to do.

Wow, this is a very kind and wonderful idea!

[Zoonie 0]

Glad you like it Sara. I worried a bit if it would work within the forum rules, but as it's not asking for donations, just voluntary then I figured it was ok, and that if it wasn't someone would say so

[myladyyawo 0]

I don't see why it wouldn't be hun, but I'm still learning here too

[esperia 0]

what a nice idea

[Zoonie 0]

Well if Mr Mayor doesn't like the idea, no doubt he'll say.

Lately we've had lots of donations from just a few members, but the idea really is for small donations from a lot, which I'd like to encourage.


For example for a few weeks one of our friends was at hospital daily when her son was seriously, really seriously, ill, so we all rallied and kept her up to date with the TWS and more.
She's also a donor to the Registry, so it's all come and go, not just take

I think it's nice to be able to do that.




There are spare things left over in the Registry as of now, and we either use them for competition prizes, or sell them off at just a small profit to members who might want them, and use the coins to buy the newer items again...but it's all quite flexible.

[Wish Fairy 0]

Woo Hoo - the Registry lives!!!
I'm so happy.

Zoonie - let me know who needs what (if you know) cos I have had some good luck trading lately so will be able to send some things whenever you want :-)

[tweets 0]

i think it'll be okay
i mean, we are here to help each other

[Zoonie 0]

Wish, think it's fairly well cared for, depending on what comes out on Monday morning!

Thanks all

[Chiaretta 0]

that's really a great idea!!

[smorkle 0]

wow! i really love this gill.

[Wish Fairy 0]

Gill
I am sending today to the Registry :

1 ginerbread sofs
1 silver santa throne
1 gingerbread bed
1 gingerbread plushie
1 festive gingerbread treapot
1 gingerbread side table
1 North Pole sign
1 cute mistletoe decor
1 Festive gingerbread lamp post

I don;t know who is away, but I'm sure these will come in handy

[Zoonie 0]

They will definitely come in handy, thanks Wish. Not opened PS yet, not sure if I'll have time to make a list - there are so many Christmas items now, it's like a store within a store!

Have added another Rep point for your kindness

[esperia 0]

wow so nice idea i will send some tws items too

[Zoonie 0]

That's very kind of you

You can send them to me, or I can add you to my husband's account, he lets us have several rooms as a warehouse to keep things safe and separate from mine.

[tweets 0]

how bout we get an acount just for keeping the stuff for the c&g gift registry?
it's easier to have it on separate account, so you don't mix it up....

you want me to do it?

[Zoonie 0]

I think we're ok for now honey thanks, my OH is more of a C&G observer. He does the visits and uses the coins to donate to the Registry.

His pet's called Kitty C&G Stores, and anyone can befriend him.
He doesn't use Facebook himself, for real life friends, as he wouldn't want them to know about Kitty anyway

[Wish Fairy 0]

You're entirely welcome :*pirate2*:

[tweets 0]

i can't donate much, i don't have much coins, but i'll happily donate you something
i just gotta do some gmbing and visiting, and i'll get back to this

also, i made you a banner for this too ^__^
i'll post it in the group logo thread

[Zoonie 0]

That's very kind Tweet, thank you.

The whole point is, you only need to donate a little, we don't expect people to go short of coins themselves because they donate to the Gift Registry. Anything is very welcome, thanks.

[Wish Fairy 0]

Gill- I made a mistake - Gingerbreadk sofa and Bed are not TWS - I've edited the post but feel free to re-sell the bed and sofa i sent to get more TWS if you need

[Zoonie 0]

I wouldn't sell them Wish, besides you only get a third back, they'll be good to send on to someone who's very short of coins maybe? Thank You xxx

[Pauly Girl 0]

Hi Gill kind of low on coins but i sent 3 2010 ballons + 1 set of chic clothes + 1 ballroom chandlier. have a great week

[Wish Fairy 0]

Are we collecting for anyone in particular ?

[Pauly Girl 0]

Gil i hope you recieved what i sent as it is not written...i am doing visits now and will send more when i am done

[Zoonie 0]

Thanks all, I haven't been able to play much at all this last few days, I think there are some gifts to open, but I didn't go in that room as I didn't have time to deal with it


I'm not sure what arrangements Audrey made about TWS before she went off to Florida? (if any) Gaia was going to get them for Lisa (Lea) I think.
No one else put their name down - but what with the move over here and everything, not sure really who might be in need.


Thanks for the donations so far

[inu-kijo 0]

I keep forgetting to post this so i will put it here while I am thinking about it.

If anyone remembers Cheerbella (sweet new little thing)

she has been in the hospital for the last couple of weeks and hasn't been able to play and get any Christmas stuff, so If anyone has any Christmas items to spare, I am sure she would be so appreciative.

And hopefully she will recover and feel much better soon!!!

(she asked me not to ask for donations on her behalf, but she is such a sweet thing, and it is tough being in the hospital this time of year with 2 small children.)

[Wish Fairy 0]

Kijo - I have some spare Xmas stuff for here. I hadn't seen here for ages and thought something might be not quite right as she had been very active in the previous weeks. I have some things and am gonna send em over - thank for letting us know!

[Zoonie 0]

Thanks Frannie and also Chup sent a pile of stuff too

[Wish Fairy 0]

Gill I have sent the log cabin floor and wallpaper to you (not to kitty), but can you check that you gt the frozen lake from me as we seem to have only 1 in inventory and I sent one last night as well as the one from BG.

Cheers
:-)

[Zoonie 0]

I now have 3 frozen lakes, but Chup sent one.

I'll double check later Wish, ta xxx

[Wish Fairy 0]

LOL - Frozen lakes are like buses !! ;-)

[Zoonie 0]

I wish they were like trains - sadly trains seem to be in very short supply here!

[Zoonie 0]

For various reasons Gaiamaiden has removed Ponyboy Curtis from the C&G Group.
I didn't specifically request this, but had PMd her with some concerns and am happy with her action.

As he has just commented on my FB page I'm not too worried that he'll miss out on the TWS to any great extent..
* edit
and has been an active player in the game every day since

[Zoonie 0]

Thanks very much to Marie for lots of food TWS from past weeks, which I can use for Competition Prizes

[Zoonie 0]

The gifts in Kitty's store this week, will check totals above. Thanks for all the donations.

Seems as thought the registry is set with at least 2 of each from this week TWS. Yay for us and so much easier to track rather than having all those items from previous weeks
