milesmiles902 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 I didn't get to participate in the white elephant last year, but I definitely am this year. I remember JManrow getting a Frozen 1 gallon aquarium. I wonder what he put in it. :P 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badxgillen Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Well, it did beat the Justin Bieber singing toothbrush...By a hair. I mean you could at least drill the Frozen tank and make it a mini refugium. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald525 Posted November 16, 2016 Author Share Posted November 16, 2016 Ha ha hat frozen tank is amazing !! Funny you mention the Justin Bieber toothbrush that's what we ended up with one year. We "stole " it from Roy for the preteen girl !???? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JManrow Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 I didn't get to participate in the white elephant last year, but I definitely am this year. I remember JManrow getting a Frozen 1 gallon aquarium. I wonder what he put in it. :P I re-gifted it to one of my granddaughters... I was happy to see that she liked it! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youcallmenny Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I'm probably overthinking the gift exchange but are they supposed to be gag gifts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milesmiles902 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I'm probably overthinking the gift exchange but are they supposed to be gag gifts? I wouldn't say that there is "supposed" to be gag gifts, but they do tend to appear. Some other gifts from last year were, frag plugs, calcium and magnesium dosing solutions, fish food. In general, aquarium stuff with the chance of a gag gift. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all if you want to be naughty or nice in your white elephant gift selection! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald525 Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 But wait there is more! How about another raffle offering? We have three 25 dollar gift certificates to the Fish Store. This is one of our newer sponsors located in the Eugene area so near all your southern Oregon folks! Great guy with an awesome selection of fresh and saltwater fish! http://www.eugenefishstore.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badxgillen Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I like to bring a gift that I know many people might want or can use but the gift doesn't have to be reef related by any means. I got a sweet fillet knife one year and that was very cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emerald525 Posted November 28, 2016 Author Share Posted November 28, 2016 It's getting closer! Just a reminder for those who are too lazy to read the first post! When: Saturday Dec 10 from 2pm to 4pm Where: Wallery's Pizza 1555 Edgewater street NW Salem, OR 97304 You definitely want to save your money! We have some really nice high end raffle prizes! Next on the list is a 150 dollar gift certificate from All Delight! I have known this vendor for years when he was selling on reef2reef and had some of the sweetest acans around! Also very generous vendor. I did a fundraiser for a coworker whose 2 year old passed away and he donated a bunch of acans to the cause! That sort of generosity will always get my loyalty! Check out their site and they do auctions on reef2reef as well! http://www.alldelightcorals.com/ http://www.reef2reef.com/threads/all-delight-corals-auction-rainbow-acan-frag-1p.209529/ Remember I am saving the past prizes for last! So keep looking! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashy Fins Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 (edited) Well, it did beat the Justin Bieber singing toothbrush...By a hair. I mean you could at least drill the Frozen tank and make it a mini refugium. Yes, that Bieber toothbrush has been around! It returned as a recycled white elephant gift the next year, when I won it, then I recycled it again at my company's holiday party. I can only imagine where it is now!
