    very easy, no rules except that you ship the dollar amount ($50). How you spend it is up to you. There will be a vote at the end of the BIF on who CREATIVELY SPENT THEIR $50 BUCKS THE BEST. Yes, this will be voted upon by the other members of this BIF. So no rules, except you have to show receipts you spent $50 bucks. So what does the winner of the votes get??? They get a large format bottle from the rest of the participants. That's right, spend $50 bucks, and try to wow the snot out of your target, cuz if you do, you might get 9 other boxes.
    so here are the rules:
    -spend $50 bucks on your target, and provide receipts, pack them in your box
    -agree to send another large format beer to the winner of the vote of "MOST CREATIVELY SPENT$50 BUCKS"
    will only allow 9 other participants, the kicker is YOU HAVE TO SEND ON MONDAY THE 6TH, sorry for the short notice, I'm having surgery on the 13th and want to have this done by then. So if your feeling up to it, can fullfill the requirements, answer the thread. Will send a conversation on what is needed.

    I really like the concept here, but way too short notice for me. Would be interesting to revisit this down the road, particularly if you don't get enough takers for now.

    the reason for the short notice is that I am having surgery on Monday (13th). I received one of the worst BIF boxes I have ever received yesterday and needed something to make me feel better about BIFs. Since there is interest, will re visit this one once I am on the mend. Will let you guys know when that is.

    Would be interested as well, but need a bit more time to plan/shop/ship. Best of luck with your surgery

    I took the liberty of editing this for a more accurate description of the box. Also, don't worry too much about the BIF box, you will be taken care of in the future.

    Believe it or not, I've seen worse. (Not received, but seen others get in BIFs I was a part of) Like $15 worth of 6-month old variety pack beers and a box with an average rating under 3.5...
