Although I have never participated in a GE I have to agree about increasing to $50. I love buying things for my baby and it's hard to find more than a couple of things for $25.
Every time the GE comes around, I think I would like to try it but don't know how it works or anything about it. How does one know what their SB likes. Seems to be a lot to learn about a GE
I just know that by reading some of the posts, that it seems like a lot of fun.
