| I always go over.....I just love giving presents and seeing my buddy so happy when they open their gift. If I go to different stores, I always forget what I got at the store before and that is how I go wayyy over....hehe.

Living My Yorkie Dream Donating Member | Oh no......am I supposed to keep track???? LOL Kidding. I know the least limit is $20, and I truely don't keep a detailed tracking of how much I spend, but I know I'm normally probably closer to the $40-$50+ range. I keep trying to stop, but then I find another little bargain........and another......and, oh, look at this!......and, this is sooo cute......I could go on and on. Just have fun..........I know I do!

| To be honest, I don't keep track. $20 goes in a heartbeat. I just do what I feel I can and what feels right.

| It would be impossible for me to spend a mere $20. I go way overboard and enjoy every minute of it. It's all about my buddy!

| I don't really think that is true. I just think a lot of people like buying for other people's babies and don't even realize how much they are spending until they put it in the box. Or at least that is how I am. You shouldn't stop doing it just because some people spend over the $20 limit. Everyone is happy when they get new and different goodies no matter how much they cost. Hope you can join next time and join in on the fun!

I agree with you. I don't think its about competition but the constant love of spoiling this breed. As for me, every time I know I'm heading to my aunt's house I always have something for Noogie (Squeekie's big brother). Even at my local Starbucks, I see this little old lady every day with her yorkie sipping her coffee outside and her yorkie is always dressed up with the same coat. Gosh I felt so bad, so one day I gave them a new sweater. She was so delighted! It felt so good to have brighten up her day. | |

| This is our second (Yorkie Talk) Gift exchange. I do go over the limit but with the economy and everything that everyone has going on I would be more than happy with someone sticking to the $20 guideline. It's supposed to be fun and no one needs to be burdened these days especially. I also go with what I like, and when I'm gifting someone I prefer quality over quantity so it may not be a big huge box but my gift is thought out, and comes from the heart.

| we have only done 1 other GE before and we went over. After I packed up the goody box I added everything up and we were in the 5x's the minimum limit range, lol! But my goodness did we have a blast spending it The $20 limit is absolutely fine with me though. What counts is that the gifts come from the heart and my babies and I will enjoy anything and everything we receive Remember to just have fun! |

| Bubba did the last GE and that was our first experience - frankly it's just the excitement of getting something in the mail that someone else picked out -- it's not about how much they spent. But it's so fun to see what someone else has in their area of the country and what they can find. So a $20 goodie box would be so much fun! We will be thrilled with the experience regardless of what we uncover. It's not tit for tat. I don't want this to be a competition - I can only do so much and I recognize that so many others can only do so much. This is for fun and the love our sweet furbabies
