In addition to echoing what others have recommended about being detailed in your self-description and posting in the thread once you receive a package, I'd add this - The gifts I've enjoyed receiving most are the ones with some sort of personal touch. It can be hard to shop for a stranger and not everything you send (or receive) will be perfect, but including a note, for instance, explaining why you picked something out is a really thoughtful touch. It always makes me smile and feel appreciated, regardless of what's inside the box.
Welcome, and have fun with it!
