Christmas in July Book Exchange discussion

Having an issue with something? Post it here. I am also going to post some guidance here. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask! :-)

* You MUST sign up on Elfster in order to participate. This is where the matches will be done and where you can set up a wish list (or a link for your GR wish list which is so much easier!) Sign ups are open until 7/11/2021. You will then have until 7/31/2021 to send all of your gifts!

* Elfster link : https://www.elfster.com/gift-exchange...

* The gift amount should be around $15. You can do as much as you want, but you should really try not to go below $15.

* Ebooks are the easiest to gift, and that is what we tend to do here! Message 2 lists those places that you can buy books and gift them, or buy gift certificates. If you have any other suggestions, let us know!

* Keep in mind that it is difficult for people in one country to gift to others in a different country, especially with Amazon. Please list where you prefer to get your books from.

If you know of any on-line retailer who offers book-gifting and/or gift certificates, please, let me know so I can add it to this list.

Work in Progress.
Thanks for your patience, everyone :D

Hi! Question: How the heck do I send a “Thank You Note” on Elfster?
Help! TIA!

How do I buy a gift from the US for someone in Europe?

PS From Amazon

It depends where in Europe they are and if they use that Amazon store. For example I'm in Cyprus and since there isn't an Amazon store for that country I'm an international buyer so I use the .com store. If they are in UK, Germany, Italy etc that have amazon stores and use those then you should be able to log into that Amazon site and gift through there.... sorry for the long winded answer ><

Thanks, Teeny, for answering my tech question!

I have noticed that a few books were not linked.

- To provide a link to the book in your post, select "add book/author " at the top right corner of the message box
- Input the book title and/or author.
- Click "search" or press "enter" on your keyboard.
- Select the your book from the list and click "add".

Kendra, do you mind if I create new threads for us to chat?
