We appreciate everyone who has offered to help! We have found a great replacement Secret Buddy!
We do ban members who do not send out GE gifts, as that is simply unfair to those members who do follow the rules and do send out gifts. It is unfortunate that this happens, but we do work on a trust system here, where we do trust our members to participate as they say they will. If there is an emergency situation or there is a problem not being able to send a gift on time, we are flexible, we just need to be alerted as such so that the Secret Buddy can be notified as well. We view not sending a gift as theft, as the ones who do not send a gift still get a gift from their Secret Buddy.
We are proud to say that for each Gift Exchange we have ever done, every single participant has gotten a gift! And we will continue to make sure each GE participant gets a gift! Each Gift Exchange takes many hours of work behind the scenes to organize, arrange, and coordinate.
We are happy to continue our fun YT Gift Exchanges for our members, as we get great feedback every GE about how fun it was and how enjoyable it was to see all the pictures.
