Is the Secret Sister Gift Exchange a Scam?
6:00:00 PM
This is exactly what I asked myself the first time I was asked to participate. I immediately started researching it to see if it was legit or not, but I didn’t really find anything definitive. So I decided to do it, and share my experience with you!
At first, I really didn’t understand how you could send 1
item and get 36 in return. So I asked a lot of questions. Personally, I think
that the rules for the gift exchange were just way too complicated.
In order for the exchange to work you need to:
1.
Send one gift (value of at least $10) to secret
sister that is #1 below
2.
Remove secret sister’s name from #1, then move
secret sister #2 to that spot.
3.
Add your name to #2 with your information (Name,
address, likes)
4.
Find 6 other people to participate
5.
Copy and paste the new information and send it
to your six
The whole process was a lot of work, and it only worked if
your 6 people were able to find 6 more people to do it too. Which wasn’t my
case.
I sent out my package to my secret sister and then I honestly
forgot about it. The way that I thought of it was this: If I don’t receive
anything I only wasted $10, but if I do receive something then it’s an even
trade, and if I receive more than one thing it’s a bonus!
I waited a few weeks and that’s when my first package
arrived! I was a little confused at first because I hadn’t ordered anything
recently, and that’s when I remembered the exchange!
I received a beautiful handmade necklace from Moon + Feather + Dang! The necklace was beautifully packaged and it was the perfect fit for
me! There was also a sweet handwritten note, and a bag of beautiful crystals.
A little while later I received my second package! A
beautiful pair of druzy stud earrings from Dream Owl Druzy! These were actually
on my wish list for a very long time, and now I finally had them! They were
packaged up nicely and came with a handwritten note.
After another week or so I received my final package! This
one was a little bigger and filled with goodies! Not only was there an
encouraging handwritten note, but there was also a post card. Button Up by Arielle had picked up some salt water taffy’s for me and drew a key on the post
card for me. Underneath all of the candy was the final gift, a picture frame.
Arielle had taken time to put together a beautiful reminder that I am
illimitable.
Altogether I think it was a good experience. While I did not
receive all 36 gifts, I did receive 3 which was more than I had expected. I was
able to meet other artists and I think that was my favorite part.
Now, do I think that the secret sister gift exchange is a
scam? No. Would I participate in it again? Probably not. It was a good
experience, but it was also very confusing and unorganized.
Have you participated in the secret sister gift exchange? I’d
love to hear your experiences!
