| Gift exchange suggestion Just wondered if there was some way the next gift exchange could be geographically done. I didn't mind but it's more expensive , the farther you have to ship the box and thought it might be helpful on those with tighter budgets.

| Some of us not located in the US might have a hard time with not having anyone else participating in the exchange in our area. Another problem might be only one or two members signing up from an area which could mean the lack of surprize or lack of a buddy. Being from Canada before I joined this last exchange I PMed the Admin and Natalie to see if my being from Canada might be too much for anyone who may of been our buddy as I worried about the costs and shipping.... to another country. They were great and were willing to help if any problems or concerns came up and welcomed me to the gift exchange . It made me feel better as I would never want to complicate things for anyone and really wanted to be a part of these special events. Thanks YorkieTalk and all of it's members !

| yeah I guess it would make it a bit harder but it was just a thought. i was also thinking it might be a help since to UK is alot more then even across the US. I wasn't thinking about lack of participation from non US members....sorry

| How about this...when the next gift exchange comes around how about adding the simple question would you mind shipping internationally...yes or no? That would give people that are more strapped financially an out if they don't feel they could afford added shipping if they were to get one of our out of the USA members. Most people I believe would find it pretty neat to get mail from far away. As an example...One of my pen pals from the YT board is from the UK. Being the very thoughtful friend she is on my recent birthday she mailed me a card. When I walked through the doors my 13 year old daughter was holding that piece of mail that said Royal Mail on it like it was from the Queen herself.
