You'd be surprised what you say reveals who you are actually - don't be surprised if Amother sends you a Mishloach Manos on Purim day!

I actually thought of this last year as a fundraiser for Imamother, but I dont know how it would work out.
any ideas?

There are other boards (not necessarily Jewish), where they do gift-exchanges during their holiday season.

Maybe we can use relatives addresses (with their permission of course), or P.O. box addresses....

It would be so much fun!!

chabad has a site that sends it to you friends and family for you

wow, a secret mishlaoch monos drive whould be a lot of fun. I'm even willing to organize it! It would have to be nonperishable food or trinkets, since these things are obiviously sent in the mail - unless we break it down by area. anyone game? I'm willing to be the organizer.

Mindy, what do you mean? Like you'd pair people up? would we find out who sent it/whose ours go to? etc...
I would possibly join -- but we should have set rules..like price range, etc...

If enouh interest is generaated, I would have you all email me your names & addresses, and I'd assign each of you a person to send shlach monos to.

That wasn't my point Mindy.

My point was that some ppl post a lot of personal information and that it's obvious who they are. I thought it would be amusing to show up at their house with a MM with their screen name on it.

I would love to give to a whole bunch of people but I dont usually have time to run around Purim day.

Don't we assume ppl would't want someone coming to the door, divulging their identiy? Or is that just me?

I think it depends who. But even my good out of town friends won't be receiving shalach manos from me this year. It's going to be a crazy time and DH has to work so I am focusing on the kids friends from school this year.
