You will love the GE when you get a chance to do it. I think it's $25 donation, 3 months on YT and over 250 posts. You can get a lot of posts in by playing games, welcoming people and commenting on picture threads (I don't think commenting on pics in people's albums counts). You'll be there before you know it!
I think people do so many different things for "shopping" when they're in a GE. You can order things from the many wonderful vendors here on YT (and even have them delivered "secretly" as a Teaser Gift before the main box goes). Teasers: Fun fun, fun...gifts you send during the month once you know who your Secret Buddy is, to "tease" them. Many people make things...blankets, clothes, toy baskets, containers (it is simply amazing how much talent there is among YTers). You can have a lot of fun shopping online and in stores. A lot of people pick a theme based on something their buddy likes, a color, or the season.
For our first (which was the last GE) our SB liked Skulls and his fave colors was red; and his mommy liked Hello Kitty and chocolate. We had a lot of fun hunting for "skull" items, and went with a red, black and white Skulls and "Bad Boy" Theme, with fun little Hello Kitty stuff, a shirt, and candy for mom.
You will get LOTS of ideas (and have fun while doing so) if you go to the GE Thank you Threads for past GEs. They take place 4x a year, I think, so check for Jan, April, July and Oct.
Complete obsession is swift and total, so watch out. ;) :D |
