$20.....

That is definitely a "suggestion" when it comes to our Buddy gifts!!!

you cant buy anything with $20.00 LOL

Jenn218 · 01-23-2007, 10:43 AM

I agree! The $20 is JUST a suggestion! It is hard to buy things anymore that amount to much for under $20!!!

admin · 01-23-2007, 11:27 AM

Yes, $20 is a suggestion, but please remember that there may be Yorkietalk members that can only afford that much for the Gift Exchange. So please do be respectful of that and let's not hurt anyone's feelings over this. The Gift Exchange is a fun event for our Yorkies to get new goodies.

Some members really do go all out and give out spectacular packages!

Thanks!

uh-oh.. does that mean you AREN"T supposed to spend more??? very confused... slightly worried

stephluvsangel6 · 01-23-2007, 11:42 AM

I Hope I Win The Lotto So I Can Send All The Yorkies And Owners A Gift, But I Have So Much Going On That I Can Only Spend Around The 20 And Maybe A Little More. I Dont Even Know What To Get, Im So Nervous About This. But I Know Ill Out Mine And The Franksters Heart And Soul Into It.

Jenn218 · 01-23-2007, 11:55 AM

No, you can spend over $20....they are just saying to be respectful and appreciate what you get - like in the gift exchange rules, it says that some have been known to go over this amount, but please understand that not everyone can.

I have tried to stick by the $20 amount, but in my area, I found it hard! Things seem so high anymore. I need to stick to that amount.....not working and all......but I do what I can and what I feel is a good amount.

Everyone should just have fun w/ it and know that their gifts will be enjoyed and very much appreciated. Besides, our furbabies do not care how much was spent, where it came from, etc.....they just know that they are getting something new to play with ---- AND this is ALL about our Yorkies! - They love anything new!

marcerella02 · 01-23-2007, 01:27 PM

thanks Jenn... i feel much better.. layla could care LESS what anyone spent on her... she'll be so happy to just have something new to eat/chew on.. grandma said we can't buy anything new

thanks for making me feel better!

Grayson's mom · 01-23-2007, 03:24 PM

It's so fun to give. I have had a great time buying, now I am waiting for my things to arrive so I can pack this box off and send it to Grayson's girlfriend. lol

admin · 01-23-2007, 03:39 PM

You can spend as much as you want on your Secret Buddy, $20 is just the minimum amount you have to spend on your Secret Buddy (shipping is not included in the $20).

Have fun everyone!!!

BlondieGirl87 · 01-24-2007, 09:11 AM

I always enjoying buying for others more anyway and I know Jewelina will be happy with whatever she gets!

I too can't believe how fast 20.00 dollars goes! I spent more than that on the Mom

LOL
It's a good thing there's a timeline or I think I'd go broke going out and buying things. LOL

Tiggerwit · 01-24-2007, 10:37 AM

I could do $20 easy and get lots. I find stuff on clearance constantly. It's the shipping that kills ya. Next time I think my buddy should have to come pick it up personally.
