There are 3 Gift Exchange Opportunities
            (all are optional)<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TABLE GIFTS – at Saturday Night Dinner<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You have the option to sit at a 1:12 or a 1:48 scale table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Increase your own and everybody else’s enjoyment of the Gathering by following the Saturday night tradition of exchanging small gifts with the seven other people at your table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please remember what scale table you are sitting at and have gifts in that scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While a value of $5-$7 is suggested, most are handmade items which are valued by the recipients as a wonderful reminder of the Gathering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n



<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EXCHANGE GIFT<\/strong> (Bring a gift – Get a gift)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can bring a gift, for another lucky miniaturist, of a value around $20-$25.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bring a miniature item in 1:12 OR<\/strong> 1:48 scale (but not both) and you will receive in exchange a gift in the same scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It should be something that is ready to be added to a collection or display. No books, tools, or kits please.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Size should be such that it will fit into a brown, paper sandwich bag.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Be sure to bring your exchange gift to the Registration table on Friday afternoon to hand in when you register.<\/p>\n\n\n\n



<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MINI SWAPS<\/strong> (Bring 10 – Get 10)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The swap will be offered in two scales – 1:12 and 1:48. You may participate in either swap or both if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is how it works. You bring 10 identical items in your chosen scale. You can make them yourself or they can be purchased from another artisan, but they must be handcrafted<\/strong>. When the swap is finished, you will have 10 different items in your chosen scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
