Which is ME! I donated to YT for a couple of reasons, one big one is to participate in the GE. Then after I donated, there was a thread that was started about the costs of actual GE gifts. The minimum is $20 so I assumed anywhere in the $20-30 range but when I learned that everyone honestly expects you to spend more than $50 (upwards toward $100), I was VERY bummed out. That is something I can't afford right now... I'm a teacher just stuck subbing b/c of the economy and my husband's a cop so we aren't exactly sitting on gold. Not that I wouldn't LOVE buying so many cute things for someone else (one of my love languages is gifts)... we honestly can't afford to be spending an extra $100 right now (and I'm not going to be irresponsible and put it on a credit card w/o being able to pay it off). I don't feel comfortable signing for the GE now b/c there is NO way I could afford to spend lavishly and I won't want to be "that person" who jips someone who spent a lot of money....So anyway, I really like this idea.
Maybe the categories could be
Large female (>8lbs)
Small female (<7lbs)
Large male (>8lbs)
Small male (<7lbs)
Does that make sense? I have a 5-6lbs male (so I would sign him up for SMALL MALE and I have a 8-9lbs female so I would sign her up for LARGE FEMALE.
The only thing with this way is that you couldn't move your box to a new chain... This is ONLY a suggestion.
