For Jolene Wood, giving gifts has always been more fun than receiving them.
Normally reserved for birthdays and Christmas, the gift of giving has allowed her to start the Golden Wine Ninjas Facebook group.
The group, which invites anyone who 91裸聊视频渓oves giving gifts and wants to find new friends to give gifts to91裸聊视频�, is Wood91裸聊视频檚 way of spreading a little joy during a difficult time for many.
91裸聊视频淚 thought that maybe 50 people would join, when it got to 200 I was shocked and we91裸聊视频檙e still growing,91裸聊视频� said Wood.
91裸聊视频淚 was actually the first person to give a gift to get the group rolling.91裸聊视频�
Those who are interested in participating are welcomed to join the group, with one key exception - no boys allowed. Participants also need to be 19 years old and live in the Golden area.
Members post their name, address and any special requirements to sign up to receive a gift. When they receive their gift, they delete their address to avoid being 91裸聊视频渘inja91裸聊视频檇91裸聊视频� twice. Wood says they91裸聊视频檝e just wrapped up their first round of gift-giving and are at the beginning of a second round.
The idea for the group was inspired by similar groups in the surrounding area, with groups based out of Calgary and other centres across B.C. Wood was concerned that due to Golden91裸聊视频檚 remote location, that those in town would be excluded from these others groups.
91裸聊视频淚 thought it would be nice to start our own page, I saw how successful it was in other places and knew that we wouldn91裸聊视频檛 be included,91裸聊视频� said Wood.
91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 blown up like crazy and gotten everyone excited to be kind and give gifts during this tough time. It91裸聊视频檚 all Golden people doing it for Golden people.91裸聊视频�
The success of the group has made it a bit difficult for Wood to manage her day-to-day life while also being the admin of the group and so she has put out a request for help within the group for new people to join her.
91裸聊视频淚 tried to limit how much I91裸聊视频檓 actually looking at the page but I91裸聊视频檓 getting notifications all day long,91裸聊视频� said Wood.
91裸聊视频淚 have a two-year-old at home and being on your phone all the time, I don91裸聊视频檛 want to be like that.91裸聊视频�
While she91裸聊视频檚 been giving to the group, Wood has also received her own gift from the wine ninjas.
91裸聊视频淭o get one was awesome too because they involved my daughter as well, so it was exciting for all of us,91裸聊视频� said Wood.
Overall, Wood says the response to the group as been positive and that people are excited to be a part of the ninjas.
There is a $25 cap on the gifts.
