    My target is a little difficult too, but no worries. I might not hit too many of those whales, but I will send a box that I think we will truly enjoy.

    to my sender, if you have not figured out by now, I am very easy going. I will be happy with whatever is sent my way. I love to get local beers that I have never heard of. And, I am way OK with not killing myself for these 12 days with big big beers...

    And this is what keeps me in these BIF's because the sender's that have the "big guns" appreciate the work that is put into a good box even if it isn't full of all top 250 beers. Seeing someone excited about getting a box from me is at least 10x more exciting than getting a great box

    What I really like about this specific BIF is that it makes me go out and hunt wish list items for my target, meeting new people along the way ( gonna start that process this week) and trying to help my target get something he hasn't had. While I don't expect anything from my wish list (and a "wish" list it is) I really like it when someone puts together a great box based on what I like.

    I always like to say, your shelf local might be my whale.

    This is part of the reason I didn't want to join, I sometimes feel like too much pressure is given to someone who gets me :\

    Wow, you started packing up my box already?!? :grimacing::grimacing: You might want some bubble wrap though....

    I can personally vouch for this in Josh's case, I send him the crap my Whole Foods can't sell and he gets all ga-ga over it! :wink:

    Unless you take offense to someone that isn't able to hit your wish list beers there really shouldn't be any pressure felt. I'm hoping to hit a wish list beer or two for my target and I quite literally put in my wish list that even if I got 12 Miller Lite I'd be happy enough watching and enjoying twelve Miller Lite.

    I may be too young for this one



    It's about time to call up my 12 days spreadsheet and start planning out my attack day by day.

    I am lucky enough to have some of my targets wants already. I have about half the days picked out. I am going to try to find some more of his wants- or move onto things I think he will enjoy. I have some fun extras as well.

    Hint #1: I am shipping west.
    Hint #2: My target has less characters in their BA name than me.

    Was just back in the parts department shopping for packaging materials. Was thinking of using oil filter boxes but they're a bit too bulky, looks like fed-ex bubble mailers are going to work just fine instead.

    To my target, I've taken a look at your wish list and I should be able to help you tick a few of those, hope you're ready to do some drinking!

    Oh BAH HUMBUG!!! Stinking dilemmas......

    I am getting a reeeeaaaalllllly good and desirable rated 100 "Royal :wink:" DIPA in a trade that was recently released. But if I wait till the shipping window it would certainly not be #lehighfresh

    Potential target...........like this or comment 1) if you can figure out what I'm talking about 2) if you are ok with waiting and would like this to be your first beer. Otherwise I may drink one and trade one for something that could wait until July.
