A friendly reminder to those of you participating in our #SantaSIMYAM Mixtape Exchange: Get those mixtapes out! :)

We’ll be having our #SantaSIMYAM party this Friday, December 18th, where we’ll all be sharing pictures (or full playlists) of our just-received mixtapes online (can be Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr or Instagram - your choice!). Just remember to include the hashtag, #SantaSIMYAM, so we can find your post and share it.

So, if you haven’t already, make sure you get your mix in the mail and on its way to your Secret Santa ASAP. 

Let us know if you have any questions, and we can’t wait to see what you’ve come up with!

Join So I Made You A Mixtape’s First Secret Santa Exchange! #SantaSIMYAM

Happy Holidays y’all! We thought we’d do something a bit different this year by hosting an official SIMYAM Secret Santa Mixtape Exchange. 

How is this different from normal SIMYAM rounds? 

You’ll still be sending a custom mixtape of your own creation to a blogger friend. However, this time, instead of us being in charge of organizing and partnering up people, we’ll be leaving it up to Elfster, a gift exchange platform.

How does it work? 

1. RSVP through Elfster.com to join. It’s totally free! Make sure you add your physical and email addresses to your profile when you join so your matchup can send you their mix. Also put in your Tumblr or blog URL if you have one. Only the person who is matched up with you will be able to see your information. 

Note: Elfster has some features that aren’t applicable for our exchange, so feel free to avoid the Wish List option when it prompts you do to so. 

2. Get Your Match. The registration cut-off day is November 30 (!). After that, Elfster will draw names. You will receive an email with your matchup’s name the next day.

3. Send your mixtape so they receive it by December 18th. The theme of your mix can be whatever you like! Holiday, winter or even just songs you’re digging right now. Make sure you include a card with a nice message and your tracklist. You can also choose to wrap it up and fill your package with candy or other holiday goodies. Make it your own!

December 18th #SantaSIMYAM Party

On December 18th, take a picture of the mixtape you received and post it to Tumblr, Facebook, Twitter and/or Instagram. If you want to upload the mix and publish it via Spotify, that works too. Hashtag it with #SantaSIMYAM. 

After that, go ahead and reveal yourself to the person you gave your gift to and spread some holiday cheer. Making mixtapes and making friends is sure to give you the warm fuzzies. 

RSVP Now! 

Reminder: The sign-up deadline is November 30. Feel free to spread the word and invite your friends! Now let’s get this holiday party started. 

Love,

Alison + John
