Hey Kendra...im not participating in this one just because of finances...ruby needs her spay and teeth pulled and it needs to be done this month but I am going to participate in the next one. To be honest I was thinking of ideas in my head of gift ideas and I know that I would spend more then the minimum but no way could I afford $300. That being said...as a gift receiver....I would never feel cheated if my gift box was the minimum...its the fact someone took the time to participate and choose gifts for one of my babies! I would hope that would be the majority would feel the same way...I say participate...someone is going to enjoy getting your gift exchange box!!!
