Gift Exchange: Winter Holidays 2011


  • Has anyone been sent the name of their Christmas buddy? If shipping overseas, time is of the essence.


  • I just had hubby check his email and my buddy hasn't been assigned yet. Maybe I should send you a present Kipawa.


  • But December 1 has already passed? 2 more days will be December 7. Is that when we will get the names?


  • I didn't have a basenji buddy either…

    I do have to ship overseas...


  • Has anyone got there buddy yet? Was just wondering.


  • Maybe we should be asking if Alex is okay - or just overwhelmed by the response to participate.

    Very nice thought, Wizard.

  • First Basenji's

    Alex, hope all is well.

    Our household has, frankly, gained a reputation as being the couple that "Keeps Christmas going into the new year." So in my mind, there is still plenty for the gift exchange to happen. 😉


  • Hey Folks,

    Sorry about the delay, it's been a busy last 7 days due to some unexpected events, but everything is well now. Basenji buddies have been assigned and emails sent out. Looking forward to all the gift unwrapping photos and stories.


  • I've got my Basenji buddy!!

    Christmas shopping this weekend!!! can't wait!!!


  • Shopping here too, probably today! This is going to be fun!


  • Whoohoo. Got my B buddy. Time to go shopping!!

  • First Basenji's

    Did a little shopping today. Came home and the dogs were very confused why I was not distributing the goods from the big bag of goodies! I'm participating in a Shiba gift exchange too, so there was a bit of stuff in there. 🙂 Anyway, I had to take the bag out to the car because Bowdu was stalking the bag, even when I tried to put it out of view in the closet.


  • Mine is packaged and ready to be shipped (I had the day off yesterday)!


  • Mine is off in the mail today. My B buddy should see it in about 6-8 days. Do we tell our B buddy that we got them? Or is it secret?


  • It should be a surprise and everyone should post photos into this thread once their basenjis open the packages.


  • Kipawa says, "Santa has a delivery on the way for my basenji Christmas buddy, so watch out for his reindeer and sleigh"!


  • Did Kipawa open his present yet??????


  • No, Kipawa has not opened a present yet. But he believes he is on the Basenji Santa's list because he has been a good boy this year, learning many skills and pleasing his humans very much. He's also been told by his humans that the best part of Christmas is in giving - be it by finding a present, a prayer or a kind word for someone. And sometimes just a basenji smile can be the best present of all.


  • Doh…
    I was all excited to do my gift exchange shopping, and then I was standing in (a very long) post office line to mail it when it occurred to me that, I DIDN'T WRAP IT!! (Joanne you moron). Sooo... if your Basenji gets a package from me, um, it's not wrapped. Sorry. But I did send a card :o
