Great idea! I was also wondering if the same user viewed it once or twice, how that is counted?

I know.... my feelings get hurt for other people too. My wish is that everyone who joins in the future will feel that way (That it's the thought that counts.).

It is an gift exchange. It is where the people who join get a random buddy to spoil(Admin chooses them and we don't know until the end). There are usually 4 a year. There is a section all about it. I would love for you to browse some threads there. It is the sweetest thing on YT. I love all the heart that goes into it.

Thanks, Heather... I was hoping someone who has been in one personally would give some insight for those who don't know about it.

![]() Personally, I'd LOVE to see a few different guides for pricing offered. ie, a $5 white elephant once a year.

| ![]() This brings about another topic - a GE for those outside the US and Canada. Hopefully, one day, it can be figured out how to work one like that. We have so many members in various countries - it would be fun to somehow be able to do gift exchanges across the miles like that. If I'm not mistaken, a person can view a thread as many times as wanted but it only counts as one view total for that member. Is this right, Ann/Wylie's Mom?

| ![]() OK, Any gift exchange I've ever been in has had a limit that people were to stick as close as possible to. That prevented issues later, and everyone felt good about participating. When you leave the amount to spend open, anything can happen. What seems like a reasonable amount to spend to ME would seem like either a high amount or a low amount to others. I think it would be best to know what amount people should shoot for when they join the GE too. Less headaches later for everyone. ** These are just my opinions backed by my experiences. ** The concerns I stated above are why I haven't joined GE yet. I was afraid I'd spend the wrong amount.

| ![]() I agree I loved the GE that we participated in. Buster's favorite gift was a bed specially made for him. It's hard because we are dealing with people's expectations of what they give and what they feel they should receive in return. People who overspend should not get their harness all in a twist if their buddy only spends the minimum. I understand how some people would be afraid to participate for fear their gift would not measure up which is sad and seems contrary to the whole idea behind the gift exchange. LOL my fear for the GE is being able to come up with clever hints.
