This sounds like a great idea.  I'm excited to participate.  I'm already coming up with ideas for a gift. 

Likes, Salt & Pepper shakers, kooky ones, not "normal".  Odd ball stuff. Pick something from you junk box. 

Dislikes, I don't really have any.  Except nuts.  I'm excited to get whatever.  Kids are all grown, and I am old. 

Thank you

Penny

So $20 is the minimum value for a gift?   And there's no maximum?

Correct @maxine*j  it is a lot of fun!!!

[forklift0_00]

I'd like to participate..

Likes: Anything related to the 80"s (1980's).. & Lighthouses

Dislikes: Really don't have any... I just like these kind of things...

Translation is - it's only supposed to be $20 value per parcel but usually people tend to go a bit over.

IIRC one year it was $20 min value or whatever you could fit in a large FR box.

Okay.  Well, I'll pass then.  I did this once before, on another board, and I thought it was just for fun, bought something modestly priced that that was silly but useful and related to the subject of that board.  I was mortified to receive something delivered overnight express from a purveyor of extraordinarily expensive gift baskets and then see  photos of other gifts that were in that same, or even higher, price range.   I guess I'm used to gift exchanges among non-family/friends with a maximum limit, not a minimum limit.

Anyhow, I hope everyone else has fun with it, and I don't  mean to be grinchy, but $20 minimum and no upper limit is too rich for my blood.

Dislikes: anything scented, I am allergic. 

Really getting anything is fun, I really like getting things that are from your home town, food related etc.  Someone sent me moonpies  from Tennessee one year since that's where they live and where the moonpies are made.    I never had one before!  They were pretty tasty.

I have done these before and I too would hate to spend $20 range + shipping and have someone (anyone) be disappointed.  I get that folks might go over - but think we should stick to the spirit of the exchange and the $20 range + shipping/card.  

I guess I mis-read this initially - as that is what I thought I would likely spend.  If you guys typically rawk the Kasbah......I might need to pass also.  (was looking forward to this).  😞

Can we get some clarification on this?  Others might be hesitant to join in as well.  Thanks in advance.

One year (last year?) the person on the receiving end of my gift never went on line to share what I sent. Never thanked me.  Never even messaged me to say "I received your package".  Nothing.  It was kind of a bummer.  But i'm willing to try it again this year.
