Administrator | Just a reminder that the $20 is a minimum, and while we don't have any maximum, members should not expect to receive HUGE giftboxes, even though some members may go way over the $20 minimum. The YT Gift Exchange is a fun program for all members to get to know one another as well as share cute and fun things. Have fun! |

| I love everything about the Gift Exchanges. Bur for me the most important part is the friendly teasing and taunting, the hints, and all of the fun and love that goes into gift selection. I can only speak for myself, but the GE isn't about the price of the gift or the $$ value of what I received 'cause I am a huge fan of home made-hand made things. For me the GE is about love and friendship -- much of what I send is handmade with lots of love It would truly break my heart if I thought that someone stressed out over the cost of their gift OR if they didn't participate because they couldn't spend a ton of $$. We all go into the exchange knowing that the rule states a $20.00 minimum -- send us something fun and a $1,000,000,00.99 gift of love. |

| I spend over $50 bucks on the last GE but as another YT explained that if you can't afford it just stick to what you can afford...I know Bailey would be happy with anything, heck if you put a sock, a pair of underwear, and roll of toliet paper in a box shoot I think Bailey would be the MOST HAPPIEST DOG ALIVE!!! HONEST!!! I need to hurry and get Bailey's weight in so I can participate in this GE we didn't sign up yet because I have been busy with my job but hopefully we can go by the vet up the street to get an accurate weight on Bailey then I will have all the info I need to sign up but ohhhhhh I saw this Juicy Dog Carrier that is CALLING MY NAME and I just purchased a new Dooney & Bourke purse and now I need the matching wallet!! So hopefully I can afford to do all!

| Personally I know our pups will be happy with just about anything, but I've kept myself from participating on the off-chance I can't afford everything I'd want to buy. I'm strange in that way, I guess because it does matter to me how much we're able to send out. I wouldn't want a yorkie parent sending of a package they spent $50 on only to receive a $20 one in return.

| Wow!! $20.00 can go a long way. I like to shop speciality shops when they have sales. I can get some great things for a little $$$. All I hope is that my secret buddy has had a great time shopping for my babies and I always have felt the love and effort put into packaging up these gifts. Hope everyone has a great GE!!!!!

| This is my first time! And I am really excited! I've already started shopping and have picked up several items and have only spent $12.00 so far!! There are definitely bargains out there. I'm waiting now to see if I get a boy or girl so I can buy gender specific items next. (Even though I'm finding bargains, I will most likely go over the $20.00 minimum , much to my husband's despair!!! It's just too much fun!!!!) SHOP TILL YOU DROP!!!!! I have 5 yorkies, but I am putting Pixie's name in for this Exchange. I'll have to rotate them in future GE's so nobody is left out.

| I agree w/ what everyone has said so far. I know w/ one of my GE's I spent over $20, but it didn't "look" like it to me...if that makes sense....weird, I know....does $20 even have a "look"...hee,hee! I'm crazy! I do buy lots of goodies on sale, etc. throughout the year and toss them into our GE box in the closet. GE's are fun and I think I get a kick out of people showing off all thier goodies w/ their good lists and pictures! Love seeing what everyone gets!!!
