Our seventh MalteseTalk Gift Exchange is here! It will take place in March 2011. Remember that the person you are giving a gift to MAY or MAY NOT be the same person you are receiving a gift from. You MAY or MAY NOT be paired with a Maltese of the opposite sex. There is no official theme for this GE, though if you want to give your Secret Buddy summer-related items, that is fine.
Please read the below if you have a Secret Buddy that lives in Canada or the United Kingdom or overseas:
We suggest you use the US Postal Service to mail to Canada or a non-USA address (as UPS and Fedex charges additional fees).
Also, please note to mark your item as a gift, and please do not claim it as more than $50, otherwise your Secret Buddy will have to pay import taxes on it. If you have any questions about this, please contact us. Thank you!

Please make sure you have read the Gift Exchange Rules and Regulations thread as well as the Gift Exchange FAQ before you sign up!
Please do not sign up unless you are currently a Donating Member.
Please note that the spending minimum is $20 for your Gift Exchange gift (this does not include shipping), though if you choose to spend more on your Secret Buddy, you may. Please do not expect anything more.
Here is the Gift Exchange FAQ thread (http://www.maltesetalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4843]Gift Exchange Rules and Regulations thread[/url]. Please read it again, as there have been some changes to the rules since the last Gift Exchange. We must receive your donation before you may sign up for this Gift Exchange.

Please note that you MAY receive a secret buddy in Canada (if you are in the US), and you MAY receive a secret buddy in the US (if you are in Canada). Be prepared to pay a few dollars more in shipping costs if this is the case. If you receive a secret buddy in Europe or overseas, there will be extra shipping costs, thus you will be reimbursed roughly $19 for the extra shipping. We will reimburse you via Paypal or cashier's check after the recipient receives their gift. Also, to save on shipping costs, you may want to keep the package "lighter".
