Because Im so excited for the GE and it will be our first, and I want our buddy to be excited too. But I know in my heart that they will be a bit dissapointed when they see they have someone from so far away.  |
Actually I would feel quite the opposite about receiving a GE buddy from across the pond. I've been involved in GE's on another forum and exchanged gifts with girls from Scotland and the Netherlands. I absolutely loved getting their packages bc they would find things there that aren't available here....it made the GE much more interesting, as I'm fascinated by things from another country. And, I loved getting them things they had wanted from the US.
For me the GE, like Christmas is about the giving and not the receiving so much.
You can get creative and make your GE package one filled with love and attention more so than high $$ material things. Also, take a recommendation from the GE rules page and send lightweight items. Even possibly a YT vendor gift certificate(s) would cost you nothing to mail.
