I think the initial idea is a good one, however, IMO I believe it just got
out of control in the way of $. We were in one and I was so excited to
shop for a little girl. I wrapped each package, bows, toys and a little t-shirt, with Mommy's girl on it. I spent $32.00. I was nervous about going over,
didn't want the receiver to think I was showing off, so to speak.
When Buddy received his package I was shocked. There had to be at least
$60.00 worth of goodies plus the s/h brought it up to $68.00. I was
mortified that I did not spend as much! I was very confused. Plus I never
got a thank you from the receiver. Instead of thinking I was showing off
she probably thought I was cheap!

I followed the rules and thought
it was so cool to do this. I never went back into one. Bud is bigger
and can't eat just any treat and hates clothes so it didn't matter.
I think to receive one gift from a YT friend is exciting but I think the
whole thing just got carried away.
