I kind of like the idea of a "one perfect wish list item" GE except..it takes the surprise away.

A lot of people seem to be having a problem deciding how homemade items would be valued. In my opinion, the rules could be worded "money spent out of pocket". That covers that. It doesn't give an ambiguous value to an item made. It's not open for interpretation like "Sue thinks this is worth $20, but Mary thinks it is worth $100".

Money Spent. Put that in the wording if a cap is made and it takes care of any confusion.

I, too, am intrigued by the people wanting a cap but don't know how much. I'm wondering if many of these just think it should be a certain amount they have in mind, but that amount isn't $80 or $100 so then that's the best choice to vote for..?

I probably should've added some more options on the voting. If THAT choice ends up being the winner, maybe I will do a follow up poll based on that...put out some other dollar amounts.

As for the clues, teasers, smileboxes...I wish this wasn't even a part of the discussion because it shouldn't even be an issue. NONE of that is required. NONE of it. It is done for FUN by those who want to and have time (like Rhonda said..some of us who are on here everyday all day anyway...it is fun..not pressure). I hope everyone realizes these are not even requirements. Pictures are requirements for thank yous...not smileboxes.
