I have only been in one and that one didn't turn out too good.
I followed the rules and was mortified when our package arrived.
It was so loaded up with goodies I was embarrased that I only spent
1/2 that amountbutover the amount required. Plus I never got a thank
you. I guess I didn't spend enough for the receiving party! Although I
purchased the colors and things her little girl requested.
Personally I think too much is spent on gifts. One special gift is enough
to get excited over IMO. One specific item, color and size is enough
IMO for a successful exchange. It's fun shopping for the opposite gender
as well. We don't go in it any longer. I think it's just gotten out of control
in the way of spending and requesting items. Food allergies of course
need to be told to prevent receiving items not usuable.
I am glad so many still enjoy the exchange.
I wonder just how many no longer do it for the reasons mentioned above. |
that is too bad as i have put both of my yorkies in each time and have done 4 or 5 times and have never been disappointed and do not think i disappointed anyone else so really too bad and have had such a great time with the threads and made some new friends I would have never met before and have a ton of laughs each time. I just feel bad for the ones that had a bad experience as luckily I have not at this point and why i continue to do them.
