We have 39 participants (quite the international group, I might add), and\u00a0the creative energy is palpable!

If you received a partner information email, please respond back to confirm receipt. We want to make sure that the emails didn&#8217;t get lost in the fray. Thank you to those who have already responded!<\/p>\n<p>2. For you Instagram users, feel free to use the hashtag #secretvalentineexchange &#8212; Ute and I haven&#8217;t been bitten by the IG bug yet, mostly because we&#8217;re both terrified of becoming addicted to yet another social media outlet. I might change my mind though&#8230;we shall see.<\/p>\n<p>3. We&#8217;ve had inquiries about how many items\/size limits. Officially, we&#8217;re encouraging one item per Secret Valentine that will fit into roughly a 9&#215;12 inch (or C4\/22.9&#215;32.4cm) envelope. This is in the hopes of keeping things fair and cost-effective. Unofficially, it&#8217;s completely up to you.
