Immediately announce that the conditions for receiving applications will be tough.

What is the game?

The participant receives a gift for the New Year and Christmas, but does not know in advance from whom. At the same time, the participant is given the address of another participant and he undertakes to send a New Year's gift from himself.

Who can participate?

Only CULINARY bloggers ! This year we confine ourselves to full-fledged thematic blogs , where most of the posts are devoted to cooking, recipes, food photography, and so on.

Other platforms are allowed, but a LJ account is required . Empty magazines or specially created for this game, as well as those having no relation to cooking, cannot participate in this game. The culinary component of the blog should be at least half of the open entries. Lirushechka, Vkontakte, Classmates are NOT accepted as a culinary blog, even if you have a LJ. Accepted platforms are blogger and wordpress. As an exception to Facebook. Having followed the link to your blog, the observer should immediately understand that this is a culinary blog.

How to participate?

1. Optionally, in your blog, you tell about flashmob, if you want, tell us about your preferences, your special culinary preferences.

2. You send the application for the game no later .. let's say, let it be until Sunday, November 10 until 23.59 Spanish time. Write an application and prepare a gift. Receipt of applications will be suspended in advance if the number of applications increases the limit to 120 participants .

Where to send the application?

You need to send an application ONLY to email: invisiblecookfriend@gmail.com

The email from which you sent the application to the above address will be our way of communication.

In the email indicate (you can copy):


Link to the culinary blog:

Link to LJ:

Address where to send a gift:

Specify where you are ready to send a gift:


Confirmation of your participation will be a response from the NAC to your email. If you did not receive it within a couple of days, then something happened from the following:

1) the answer from NKD got to your email spam
2) you did not complete the application form (hint: the index, patronymic, first name, last name, street, house are not specified ... Look again critically at your message in the "sent" folder)
3) your blog is not accepted as a culinary

What's next?

As soon as you receive (by e-mail confirmation is required) the address of your invisible friend, you prepare a gift for him and send him no later than December 1 or earlier, consider how your mail works and to which country you send the gift. And wait for yours! He will come. (mmm .... I want to believe in a miracle, yes);)

Save the track code of the mail!

The gift must contain at least 2 items of CULINARY subjects (books, kitchen gadgets, textiles ...) and greetings! Sweets, sweets, food are also warmly welcome! However, consider the features of your mail.

You have to boast your gift that you received on your blog. Photo is desirable! The sender does not have to be disclosed, you can leave it anonymous. Send links to the report to a specially created post that will appear around mid-December .

I will do the prefab post tentatively for the Orthodox Christmas, January 7, 2014 and we can all admire our gifts. Like for example, last year we did it with grief in half. :)

As you understand, the fulfillment of all conditions is obligatory.

The list of participants will be published after the deadline for applications. I reserve 10 days for the distribution of addresses . The first addresses will be received by participants who have correctly entered all their data.

Now unpleasant to future participants of the flash mob.

I already have a small ban list. As an example, I do n’t NEED to do it. trablin to her as a gift:

"I received a gift today from trablin

I understand that the organizers are not guilty of anything. I write this only to report.

Or maybe I misunderstood something. Then correct me.

It seemed to me that the exchange of gifts in the NKD provides certain rules. And I had to get some kind of gift connected with cooking, as well as a postcard.

So, today I received from the user trablin children's book how to sculpt from plasticine. Postcards were not attached to it. I attached the photo of the book here.

Forgive me if I will not write a report in my blog about the gift received. I feel embarrassed. And just a shame. And I don’t even know whether to thank the sender for such an attitude. "



No wonder I would be offended too.

Comments (hidden) by flashmob here and by email. And as usual, stay tuned ....
