Hello, r/bangtan! There’s a Winter Ahead(YouTube) of us and that means it’s time for gifts(imgur)!

This year, we’ll be doing two exchanges as usual – a gift exchange and a holiday card exchange! Please read carefully through the guidelines and timelines below and let us know in the comments if you have any questions.

2025 was a super important year for BTS and for us as ARMY – from all the members coming home, to two worldwide tours, to much shenanigans from the seven. To celebrate, we’ll be focusing this year’s exchange on remembering our best moments from 2025 in a 2025 time capsule!

Our guidelines

🌟These guidelines will apply to both exchanges: 🌟

• Exchanges are open worldwide!

• You can join one or both ✌️ exchanges.

• This year, we’ll be doing a 1 to 1 exchange. Your giver will be your recipient!

• Participants must be willing to share their email address with project organizers, and physical address with organizers and recipients.

• Information about your recipient will be sent via email from rbangtan.exchange@gmail.com. Don’t forget to check your spam folder!

• By filling out the form(s), you are agreeing to participate in the project and follow through with the exchange. The holidays are a busy time, so please check the timeline to make sure you can send your gift/card by the deadline! (We understand life happens, though, so if you think you may have trouble meeting the deadline, please let us know!)

• Participants are responsible for all postage and any other fees, including customs/duties.
