I love the Gift Exchanges. Admin has set forth the official GE Rules which seem to be very fair and reasonable and make Gift Exchanges affordable for most of us. When we sign up, Admin reminds us of the GE rules, so there are't any surprises. All we should "expect" is for our buddy to spend a minimum of $20 on a gift -- I thought the real point behind the GE was building relationships and having fun. Anything above the the $20.00 is a bonus. I have received some boxes filled with expensive items and I have received boxes filled with hand made items -- I loved them all. The thing that amazes me most is the amount of love that popped out of the box when I opened it. Maybe I'm wrong here, but I thought the whole point of the gift exchange was to have fun -- both with sending and receiving a gift.

I would like to see one gift exchange a year where it would be REQUIRED that the gift items be HAND MADE by the sender. Every one of us can come up with SOME type of creative idea. If some chose to "opt out" of a Made With Love GE, then they could always participate in the next one.
