As our current Gift Exchange is over (with just a few packages yet to be delivered), we are now looking for suggestions and or feedback on how we can improve our future Gift Exchanges.

Here's a few ideas we have been thinking about:

- Create a maximum spending amount of $50 for the gift you send and raise the minimum spending amount to $25. If you hand-make items, it would just be the cost of the materials which would count towards the $50. If you purchase a $20 item on sale for $5, then only $5 would be counted towards your spending amount.

- Require pictures to be posted in Thank You threads.

- Require the thank you threads to be posted within two weeks of receiving the gift.

- No "complaining" or public posts of not receiving gifts allowed until after two or three weeks after the Gift Exchange deadline has passed, as there are senders who send from overseas in most GE's and those take a bit longer than domestic shipments.

Feel free to comment on our suggestions (good or bad) or write your own suggestions as well. Thank you!
