great responses, and thank you for your honesty, I was afraid I might be the only person wondering if I would I fall short because I was not sure how much to spend. From past experiences I know I get more excited giving stuff than receiving it but my gifts are not normally itemized and made public for everyone to read and in a way judge. I believe this is probably a catch 22 for the admin. because while I think it is important to say thank you and it is fun to see the boxes and their contents, it does sort of create a competition, or at least a feeling of the need to measure up. LOL I just found some very cute stuff at Wallmart, so I can just see my receiver trying to be nice and saying, oh how cute that Wallmart dress was. I love the concept behind the GE but I can see that it could also cause resentment so it makes me question if I should jump in.
