You can also go back to past Gift Exchange threads to read some of the Hint Threads to get an idea...some are a riot! Whatever you do don't do what I did in my first Gift Exchange and give up who your Secret Buddy is just because they think they have found you out...lol

I never was good at secrets...

Many times Secret

Buddy's have been known to wait until their Momma's go to bed and then they sneak on the computer and start posting their own lil' hints!
On a more serious note, I will make a cheat sheet of all the Secret Buddy's names and important facts found in the Sign Up Info provided by the Momma's.
I will make a list with Name of Secret Buddy, Age, Male/Female, Weight, Favorite Color, etc and that is how I begin eliminating who is not a match until I center in on a couple possibilities.
Once you are notified who your Secret Buddy is, you can start making your list of hints. I usually will make my list as soon as I get the name and then spread the hints out over the course of the month. You shouldn't need more than 10 hints to last you through the month. Here's are some hint examples:
My Secret Buddy's name has 6 letters in it.
My Secret Buddy's favorite color is Purple.
My Secret Buddy weighs less than I do.
Important to note...not all who participate in the Gift Exchange have the interest or the time for the hints so, try not to let that disappoint you. It's all just about having fun!
