Unofficial Meh Exchange 2025
6
You’re invited to a secret gift exchange! RSVP soon as names will be drawn in this gift-giving game!
Merician exchange 2025
Organizer: Star2236
Gift Budget: $11.00
Date: February 12, 2025
Draw Names: January 26, 2025
Here is the link. If you got an invite, disregard that. I messed up setting it up.
Anyway, now that the holidays are over and things have calmed down a bit, it’s time to abuse the postal system for some fun. It’s our annual MERICIAN EXCHANGE 2025!!!
Important dates to know: the exchange is open to sign up till January 26th. I will probably draw names on the 27th bc there’s always someone who forgets to sign up. All boxes must be shipped out by February 12th. If for some reason that is not possible, you must let me and your person know!
Here is what the exchange says if you are interested
You must be an active member on meh to participate in this exchange. You also must not abandon your Elfster account once you sign up. Please check in a couple of times a week until you send out your package and check the sent package button. I will send messages through Elfster (it’s easier to reach everybody than trying to find everybody on meh) and I will also confirm you’re a real person on there.
The $11 ($10.20) covers the cost of the. 8 11/16" x 5 7/16" x 13/4" size box from USPS (it’s the small one that holds a VHS, remember those). It can be sent with up to 70lbs. That’s all you’re required to fill out and send for this exchange. Now do people go above and beyond and send way bigger boxes with lots more stuff? Yes. Lots and lots of people do. Lots of people really get into the exchange and like to fill huge boxes, packed with lots of fun stuff for people. Every year there’s someone new that says they wish they would have gotten into it more and sent more than they did. But if you can’t afford it, DON’T FELL BAD. The VHS size box is the minimum requirement and that’s all you’re expected to do.
What to fill your box with? No broken items, this isn’t meh, we throw are broken shit in the trash. No junk, if you don’t want it, chances are no one else will either. No trackers (one for laughs is okay). This is a meh exchange so if you have some meh stuff still in the package you could toss that in. Some people like to stalk their person and try and find out what they would like, others have sent a collection of things from their hometown. The world is your oyster, think about what you would like to get and pass it on. - Star2236 S.
Can someone make this a broadcast for the next couple of weeks or until the 26th? I don’t know how to do that.

What’s a secret gift exchange? It’s where participants are randomly assigned to one another to purchase a gift anonymously. The gift receiver won’t know who it is until the day of the reveal. It’s the easiest and most fun way to gift!

@extramedium can you broadcast this?
@star2236 I don’t see a link although you mentioned it
@mbersiam
I know I’m having trouble with that. Give me a moment.
@mbersiam
It should be on there now.
@Star2236 Should this read Merician exchange 2024 or 2025? I know we’re in 2025, but if this is meant to be overflow from Christmas 2024 I just need to know how it should read. Also, if it’s meant to be 2025 you might want to update the title on Elfster as well.
@ExtraMedium
Oh shit I’ll change it on elfster
@ExtraMedium
Initially I wanted it to say 2024 as an overflow from 2024 but then I realized I did last years as 2024 (really 2023) so I changed it to 2025. Just to clarify.
I got the invite but the RSVP didn’t work. I’ll keep checking back. Thanks @Star2236 !
@steeltoesenator invite in email didn’t work for me either, but the link above did…

@OnionSoup Yeah, I got it now. Thanks!

Invite got signed up by accident sign up through the link in this
Thank you! I am joining now! This is always a blast.
Woohoo! Thank you for getting this going again!
I just Rsvpd on Elfster! I’m a real person. You can ask Pinocchio
Heck yeah, my white elephant pile is getting pretty tall.
YES!!! Time to clean out the trunk!!!
Fine. I’ll do it again.
Meh has no chance to top my ability to make people ask, “Why the f* is this in my box?”
Really not sure how to ship cinder blocks, but I’ll figure something out. 
Stay tuned.
Also, a sincere thank you to you, Star. These are always fun, but also never without pain points. I appreciate you shouldering the burden. Here’s to a weird New Year!
@capnjb
Thank you. I don’t mind doing it.
yekoP and I are in. He L-O-V-E-S opening boxes!
Got excited based on the interest check thread, didn’t realize it required membership. Oh well, y’all have fun!
@bigcurmudgeon
You just have to be a member of meh and be actively talking in the threads so we know you’re a real person. Which you are. People try and sneak in and then don’t send out boxes in return, that’s why we say that. So go ahead and sign up. It’s lots of fun.
@Star2236 Ah, understood; I’m a “member” in that I have an account, not official “membership”. Got it!
I figured it was an easy gatekeeping way to keep out the riff-raff - if you’re a paying member, you’re in. I do, however, appreciate this more inclusive method.
Imma go ahead and sign up, then!
I have been looking forward to this exchange.
I’m in! My knee replacement surgery is on 1/27, so I may not be able to personalize the items much, but I have plenty of stuff I can pack up in advance.
