- 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!
I think all of these would be good new additions to the existing rules to make it more fair.

If it's mine you were referring to, (there was only 2 overseas gifts and one was received fast), then my tracking information clearly says it was delivered on the 10th but my buddy didn't post and still hasn't posted to say it was delivered.
