The Canyon Gift Exchange

Hey Canyon Crafters! It's finally time for us to wrap up this project. In this thread you'll find: - some fun stats - final reminders to participants - what we're doing to close this operation down! 🧵 1/9

🥳 HUGE thanks to all our participants for sharing your skills, creativity, and love with Canyonites around the world. Feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns, but other than that -- that's a wrap! (9/9)

❌By May 18 we will permanently delete the form/spreadsheet collecting tracking numbers. We are giving this a little extra time, just in case of any last-minute reports of missing packages. Again, a mod will confirm when this is complete. (8/9)

✅We will keep our email account & all email records. Reminder that mailing names & addresses WERE shared w/gifters via email! If you would like us to delete emails (on our end) containing your mailing info, please send a request to thecanyongiftexchange[at]gmail[dot]com. (5/9)

On that note, receiving items in the mail meant sharing personal data with us, and we take that seriously. Here is what information we will be keeping/deleting. (4/9)

All packages were confirmed shipped, so we are assuming they have all been received! If there was any issue (a package that never arrived, or was lost, stolen, damaged, etc.) PLEASE reach out ASAP so we can help, before we delete the collected tracking numbers. (3/9)

The Canyon Gift Exchange had participants from all over the world! Canyonites from 16 different countries sent 88 packages in total. In the USA, we had participants from 21 states. Izzy Hands may be small, but his reach is long. 📷 (2/9)

Amazing!!

We will update again when 100% of packages have been shipped! In the meantime please tag us in the photos of your gifts, and keep spreading the love! 🖤🦄 (5/5)

3. Everyone who sends a gift will receive a gift! No one will be left out, so if something goes wrong (such as a package that is damaged or lost in the mail), don't be shy about reaching out. We won't know about any issues unless you tell us! (4/5)

Hello Canyon Crafters! At this point 95% of packages have been shipped, and mods are actively communicating with senders and recipients of all outstanding packages. A couple of reminders as we enter the final stages of this project: (1/5)

So cute!!

We love seeing the thank-you posts with photos! But even a quick DM or tagged post will help put gifters' minds at ease. If you can't find your gifter's handle/contact info, ask the mods and we will provide it so you can thank them directly. 🖤 🦄 (4/4)

A note to recipients: please * promptly * acknowledge receipt of your gift! The mods are fielding many messages wondering if packages arrived safely. We aren't asking recipients to confirm receipt directly with us, so communication between you and your gifter is important. (3/4)

Thank you to all participants in the Canyon Craft Exchange! It's been awesome seeing everyone's crafts and swag on the TL so far, and we look forward to seeing much more! Yesterday was the shipping deadline, and we are currently at 80% of packages marked as shipped. (1/4)
