Hello my friends! Final tally of Secret Valentine Exchange participants came out to 576. 576!!!!!!!!! Ute and I are, as always, bowled over by the enthusiasm of all involved and this is an extra special year because after 5 years, we finally have not one but THREE gents joining in the festivities. Welcome, guys! We love how the diversity of the group keeps expanding for this global swap.

A few housekeeping notes:

• If you included an instagram handle but have a private account, please consider making it public for the duration of SVE (until February 14th, perhaps?)
• If you haven’t received a partner info email from us yet, please check your spam folder, promotions tab, etc. first before contacting us.
• If your partner didn’t provide any social media info, you might have to do a little sleuthing with good ole Google if you’re keen on finding out more about your partner. Alternatively, simply take a stab at making something that’s in your wheelhouse in the color(s) your partner likes.
• For any inquiries, please contact secret.valentine.exchange[at]gmail.com

That’s it for now. Oh, and have fun!!!
