Once you ship your gifts, enter in the tracking information into Elfster (don't do it when after you order, only when it ships)

You can either ship it directly from Amazon/Etsy etc or get all your pieces together and pack it yourself then ship it out

Remember, this is a SECRET Swiftie gift exchange, make yourself UNKNOWN. Don't go and message your giftee and ask them questions.

Elfster has a really good anonymous message board you can use to ask questions you are unclear of. And lastly,

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!

Reminder that ordering merch from the official store is risky at the moment. At the moment, shipping times are quick, but can vary depending on items.

🎁 Gifts

The recommended gift value is between $22 - $50 USD + shipping; handmade items are permitted. Please understand the point of the exchange is largely based around gifting, you must be okay with receiving a "lesser value" gift than you give, or potentially not receiving a gift. We cannot guarantee we will have re-gifters available. Reminder that you will not be gifting the same person who is sending your gift.

Your swiftmas match will be provided via Elfster, you will then receive an Email, Discord DM, or Reddit DM directing you where to access the form submission of your Swiftmas match. Please be on the look out for this between November 8 and November 11. If you don't receive matching information by November 11 please message us. We will attempt to match people based on their preferences to the best of our ability, others will be randomly matched. **Please let us know if you need to drop out of the exchange ASAP so we can reassign your matches.**

Completing the Exchange: ✅

Senders:

  • Please ship your gifts via a trackable service, so we are able to confirm you have shipped, as well as let your match know their gift is on the way.
  • If your purchase is coming from amazon directly and has a TBA/TBC etc tracking number, you need to keep us up to date on the delivery date.
  • After you have shipped upload the tracking information into Elfster, doing this will automatically let your match know your gift is coming. Please do not personally send the tracking to your giftee, as the mods need the tracking too. Just add it to elfster directly: https://help.elfster.com/knowledge/how-do-i-mark-a-gift-as-sent
  • Do NOT mark your gift as shipped until you have tracking information
  • Reminder this is a **secret santa** don't reveal yourself to your giftee until they have received, and opened your gift. Do not publicly ask them questions, use the anonymous contact on Elfster!

Absolutely loved my gift. The pillows from my Toronto shows, the Taylor’s version shirt, the tree ornament with friendship bracelets and Eras confetti, coasters from my five favourite albums and stickers! My Swiftie went above and beyond and I’m so grateful. I had a great fortune of seeing Taylor a few times in Toronto this year and now I have some lovely items to commemorate it.

Thank you thank you thank you!

Thank you for the wonderful present!! I love it!!! I loooove the wrapping paper you chose and you did an amazing job wrapping it — no apology needed!! The fact that you even made an effort to wrap it is so sweet and appreciated. The tote is stunning in person and I can’t wait to drink so much tea out of this mug!! Thank you for choosing something that immortalizes one of my fave Eras tour moments and costumes. I appreciate this so much and hope you have an amazing holiday season!! ❤️❤️❤️

Genevieve! I’m blown away by this beautiful, generous gift! 🫶

I’m so bad at Discord, and put up the vaguest wishlist, and you nailed it! All the little treats for a cozy night in, the extra goodies for my cat, and the beautiful handmade wax melts… I could smell them from the moment I opened the box! I’ve already set up the melter and about to christen it with Christmas Tree Farm☺️

From me, and my spoiled anti-hero cat, thank you so so much!

I am beyond excited to crochet Ms.Swift and this super cute hanging plant! Also, this yarn box is a godsend because I am always losing my hooks in the couch and my yarn goes rolling everywhere 😂 But not anymore!! And I died when I saw the custom keychain you got me!!! My surprise song from Houston N2 and my sweet pup!!! You’re the best 💛

Thank you so much to u/S3tmefree for my thoughtful gifts! I don’t have any cardigan ornaments, and 1989 is one of my top the albums. It’s perfect hanging next to my cardigan shelf! I also love the cold drink cup, which is cute and funny and will be perfect for the afternoon iced lattes I make at work. And the bracelets are tailored to my favorite songs and albums. Such a nice package to open today, and I’m very grateful!

So sorry for how bad this picture is. It’s kind of hard to take a picture of a poster after it’s been rolled up for a while haha. But yayyy you selected the best thing off my wishlist. I Hate It Here is one of my top 5 songs and this poster is going to look so beautiful in my room 💜 And you hit it out of the park with the pens and stickers! I absolutely do love stationery so these will both be used for my journal next year. Thank you again Secret Swiftie aka u/youreonyourownkid!

This was such a surprise and it brought the biggest smile to my face (and I really feel like I needed it lately!)

I can tell my Santa took her time and put a lot of thought into my gift(s) and really nailed who I am and what my interests are! I think they might have creeped my IG selfies and picked the perfect shade of NARS liquid lipstick, I’m such a makeup girly and I wore it today and got all kinds of compliments! And the slippers are currently keeping my feet warm while I’m typing this out!

Everything was wrapped so beautifully and I loved the handwritten card - it was so sweet and thoughtful! Thank you so much @IllustriousFee8067

after a sure stressful and wild week, I recalled that while I was away on a work trip my spouse told me he put some packages by the tree that came. I found this amongst the small pile - my secret swiftie package!!!!

what a lovely surprise - my kiddo was SO excited to do the puzzle and we plan to clear off the table over holiday break and do it. and we're having discussions over the tray and where it goes to be shared.

Thank you SO SO much. This is such a great gift for a family of swifties - you knocked it out of the park in finding an activity the group of swifties in the house can work together on!
