[grayxie]

Do you have to make the $25 donation for each GE? Or do you just donate once and you are GE eligible forever?

I believe its one time unless you sign up another furbaby.

it is $25 per yorkie. if you want to do 3 at once it would be $75. Doing them one at a time is $25 total not per I hope that helps


Oh and it is a one time donation.

Here is the rule on the $ amount. Personally, I spent way over $20.

4. Price Ranges - There will be a suggested minimum spending limit of $20.00 so that everything can remain fair and noone will feel like the spent too much and received too little, or vice versa! This is the amount for actual items for the Gift, shipping will be additional (usually from $5 to $10 depending on the size and weight). If you want to spend a little more (or a lot more!) on your buddy, you may do so but please do not expect that in return! YorkieTalkers have been known to be very generous in the past. It may be out of the goodness of your own heart to do so.

I agree, it makes it fun!

I'm not saying that pictures are a "must"...because each circumstance is different. but to hear wether or not they enjoyed their gifts, in my book, is common courtesy.

I am one that posted that my SB went M-I-A and she got super offended because she was sick. it was a good couple...if not several weeks after she got the box before she actually read my thread and then posted pics. she got very offended that I could possibly be upset that she didn't post anything about it. She posted that she received the box, and said thank you, but that she hadn't opened it yet. then that was it. I never knew if she opened it, if she liked or hated what we got her...or anything. so she is now very ill about the whole thing. and I am left thinking..."don't i have a right to know wether or not she even opened the box?? or if she liked what I spent a lot of money and time on??". I know that she would have felt the same way had her SB not posted about her gifts. It's all part of the excitement and fun of it all.

I am participating in the next GE. I loved it. I had a GREAT time shopping and the anticipation of what is to come is the best part of it. the "hints" are soooooooooo fun. and seeing so many people excited and happy and coming together in a friendly manner is something I really am looking forward to. I hope that this time, it does not get ugly for anyone. It really should be a fun time.

I can't wait to see what precious baby I can shop for next

I would have been wondering too if she opened her gift or not and if she liked it.

I think there's actually a two dog limit for the GE's...if you can donate more than $50, that's great, and it will help with the costs of keeping YT running! Thanks for helping keep this awesome site going you guys! I know it's been lots of fun, informative, and an invaluable resource for me!

[ladybugg74]

This will be our second GE and we are so excited!!!!!!!! Watching patiently for the sign up list.

[Yorkiekids]

I like your ideas of rotating. I think I'll let Sebastian go this time.

[lara2913]

Yeah i'm going to rotate my 3, Indy is going first.

I have a ? about the gift exchange...

When your assigned a secret buddy to buy gifts for, I take it you get no name as to who your purchasing for, that would explain the "secret buddy" part, right?....When you send your gift out is that when you tell the secret buddy who you are or do you have the option to remain a secret?....And do you have no idea who has your name unless they chose to divulge who they are to you?

I know these ?'s sound like they should be obvious but I really have wondered about them...

Yea when you send out the gifts, in the gift box i guess you can put a card saying it's from you and your yorkie, that's what ppl have done here. Unless they tell them after they get it in a PM but until they get the gift they are not supposed to know. You can give hints though so they can guess

Oh, thanks for replying I kind of thought that but then I would see people asking the recipient if they received there gift and all the thank yous naming the giver...
