NBO - 12 Days of Summer BIF

12 Days of Summer!

Time to have a little Christmas in July. @bevoduz has graciously allowed me to help out with the summer version of the 12 Days of XMAS!

The jist of this bif is quite simple, you stalk your target for a while, figure out what they want, enjoy, can't get, etc... like any other bif. What makes this one unique is each shipper will be providing their target with 12 individually wrapped bottles, cans, packages, etc... Each of these packages will be tagged with the order or date of which they should be opened. Starting on July 4th. Each target will open the designated package for that day, take a photo, post some ****, and hopefully drink the beer too!

It's up to the shipper to decide which beers should be opened when, and remember this is a task that shouldn't be taken lightly. Should the target open the best first for the 4th, maybe last to celebrate the BIF, or something in between? It is all up to you.

I'd like to keep this to around 40 people max, but we'll see what kind of response we get. I'd like to get targets out by May 14, with shipping dates of Jun 14-24; so if you're interested let me know soon.

Here are the details:

• Provide me via message the following information (title the message xmas bif so I can easily reference it.
  • Name and shipping address
    
  • Any Do Not Ship dates (ie you’ll be out of town)
    
  • Shirt Size
    
  • Untappd Username
• Wish List - (you can send later so you have time to think about it) this is your beer geek list to santa, giving them a bit more to go by than just your wants. Feel free to include specific beers, styles you love, styles you don't like, breweries, etc...
  

Specifics for our summer Santa’s

• Minimum of 12 beer gifts (single bottle, couple small ones, side-by-sides, etc), each individually wrapped in some way to ensure it's contents cannot be identified and clearly marked when it should be opened (either sequentially or the open date is fine)
  
• These 12 gifts must have a minimum rating on Beer Advocate of 85 or higher
  
• Utilize the Wish List, as well as your targets wants, and at least try to get them beers they can't buy locally (seekabrew.com)
  
• Include some type of beer related Gift. Shirt, glassware, etc
  
• Your package should arrive to your target no later than the week of December 15th, in case your target is traveling for the holidays (travel plans will be noted when you get your target if available
  
• Open to only those that have successfully completed bifs in the past, or have positive trade feedback rating of 10 or higher.
  
• Shipping between Jun 14-24 (remember many travel for the 4th, so earlier is better)
  

Let's have some fun with this one, I know most of the Stout Biffers are already interested!

Just getting ahead of the game for the third round...obviously setting it up that late at night wasn't the most conducive to proof reading.
