If you wish to send and receive more than one gift, you can sign up for up to 5.

Extra obligations, but also extra fun

Go through last year's thread - where folks have posted pictures and thank you's for what they have received. You will get a good idea of what types of things to send.

Have fun!

Some folks include a lot of details about themselves, others not so much. If you're really stumped for ideas, HeadElf53 (see post #5) can act as an intermediary to help you. Send him a direct message, he contacts your giftee to request more info. Of course, some folks are still shy, and a challenge to shop for but usually if you ask some specific questions you can get enough info with HeadElf53's help.

Some of the best gifts that were sent to me were from people who read my facts provided (no nuts, and someone found a chocolate company that is definitely no nuts), or who searched my previous posts throughout FT (lasagna pan with 3 channels).

Note to first time participants.... as the rules state, you can only participate once. I apologize in advance for those of you who have asked for more than one assignment your first year.
