I think we all should just be grateful that we can do this kind of thing. If people spent more, than they spent more, This is NOT about being cheap or high price spender, it's about giving to someone who you probably don't know really well. Just be grateful that you can participate, because there are some who could not, financially.

I am grateful I could participate and I still have not received my SS present yet; I feel good about what I sent and how I sent it.......I am not creative during xmas, just too many bad memories. This little thing that PIF does helps me through those terrible, horrific memories of past Christmas'
Let's just not make this about money and make it about love for the PIF gang, then maybe next year alot more people will participate.
Remember it's not about what you give; it's how and why you give it!

That's silly! You participated and you sent great gifts (you must have, everything I saw here was great). There was a budget. I'm sure a lot of people too advantage of the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales and sent some extras that they had lying around and there were some homemade things which were marvelous but proably cost less than store bought things. If your recipient is happy (and everyone was), how can that be a bad thing?

What Sallie said. Exactly. Nobody should feel bad - that's not what this is about! Everybody I've seen has been overjoyed with their gifts and I know everybody put time and thought and care into their gifts. That's what matters.

All I know is that I participated because I could afford $20 (barely), anything higher and I would not have been able to join in the fun, and fun I have had... I like the reaction my ss had when they posted. They didn't post pics, but they did list them and was grateful, happy and thanked me for what they received... That made my "givers remorse" go away, lol.. I was thrilled w/my gift as I am really into diy and am not buying juice from vendors anymore, as I just can't afford it.

For me it's the joy that these lil gifts brought to someone's day and that is truly priceless...

I wasn't all super creative in what I got for my person (and my person got stuff from me and Morgan both since she wasn't able to participate, so yes the limit was exceeded a little), but the reaction from my person totally made my day, week, month. I was more excited about giving and making him/her happy than receiving. That's what this group is about. It has been fun watching everyone post :) and another big thank you to my SS :wub:

hey, I didn't mean to sound whiney. and it does sound like my person liked their stuff. and I did include a few things I already had around the house (if I have had something more than a month it feels "free" to me).

and this has been the most fun I've had since my first few months of vaping spending sprees :) Like someone else said this is the first present I've opened in years - but for me, like the rest of you, watching my person's reaction was the MOST fun.

too bad it's only once a year (wanna to do valentines day? LOL)

i like the idea for valentines day!!!! this was soooooo much fun! especially the stalkin part:facepalm::D i am totally up for it!!!

Valentines day could be fun. But it's already a month out and we still need to wrap up christmas, I don't think there's enough time to plan and organize a full out secret valentine thing. BUT! I was on a mommies forum once who did a really really fun secret valentine game... Went like this:

Everyone who participated created a temporary eMail address to use... You used this eMail only to send eMails, not to receive them, as most of the fun with this game is knowing who you are eMailing..

Everyone got paired up, and for a week (Feb 7 - Feb 14) you sent a daily eMail of love to the person you were assigned, and then on the 14th, everyone guessed their admirer.

It was pretty cute and fun :) The eMails consisted of stuff like eCards, Poems, specific things you like about the person.. with tiny clues here and there..

The object of the game was supposed to be just to brighten your assigned persons day - but we all just tried to make each other cry. lol

The caveat to this is that it's pulled from a MOMMIES forum and is very clearly a 100% chick thing. So no fun for the guys in all that.

edit* you have to have charged batts in your mod if you want it to work Lynlee! Fresh batts and it works great~!

I got my SS present yesterday. Sorry I haven't been feeling the Christmas spirit much this week but I will get some pictures when I get the chance. I got a pair of 14500 batts, 5 dual coil cartos, a hand made cozy, a really cute little change purse type thing, and a small purple box mod. I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I can't get the mod to work.

Thank you so much to my Santa~!

Sorry I haven' t been able to post this sooner. I would like to thank my SS for the awesome gifts.
100_0260.jpg
A few items are not post. 2x10ml bottles of RY4..12 and a 24 mg.
The candy...Not sure where that went??:unsure::facepalm::p
And (this is how I know I was properly stalked) the Pink rubber drip tip..after I said I didn't want pink.:blink: (but it did go to a good home..about 2 hours after I opened everything up it was confiscated.)

I'm really enjoying the tank. It's the first one I have ever used. Now I have no idea how I went this long without one.
The battery box is great..It holds a 14650 battery so I can carry an extra along with a 6ml bottle and extra carto with drip tip.


Thanks again SS.

Yeah.. I like it..the one to the right of it is too. Cant seem to get a good picture of it to really show its colors. Might have to find my other camera to get a good one (and so I now where it is).

That was easy. Picture still doesn't do it justice.
