I know a lot of members have wanted to participate in the past but didn't because they were afraid they would spend the required amount and have a box sent to them that went way over the required amount and felt that would be unfair. If we had a lower tier that was $15-$25 this group may be more likely to join in on the fun.

I know there are others who like to spend $60+ Wouldn't it be nice to get the same in return? What about a high tear of $60+ for these members. There wouldn't be a cap here.

Then, we could have one for the average spending, which is probably $25-$60

What about that? It would make for more even exchanges, and prevent hurt feelings. Sometimes, members who spend $30 and get $60 are the ones who feel the worst, so it wouldn't be to just stop hurt feelings of those who spend over the limit and expect the same, but also those that spend the limit and get way more.

Thoughts?

I like the two tier Gift Exchange Idea but I wonder if people would be reluctant to participate in the lower amount. Would there be a stigma of not affording the big exchange? I don't know. Just asking. But I can see how it could really benefit those that would like to sign up multiple dogs too. I am being wishy washy today -- okay if there are two tiers or okay like it is.

I can handle the larger amount and would sign on for it. I actually want to make a better showing next time -- not of dollar value so much, but of creativity. I was wow'ed by the handmade items and some that were so personalized.
