Not at all. It’s all fun and your draw will be thrilled. If not, @northGAcock will unleash his hound on him or her.

Using your comments with no intention to pick on you.......Please all understand that this is not a contest to see who can send the most or best things. We should all be thankful for what our elfer sends us. The guidelines are to provide a minimum of $35...and in reality that may need to be upped next year as I believe the $35 minimum might be getting obsolete given inflation. I think you give what you can afford and what you think your match might enjoy. Please do not put pressure on yourself to match others....this is supposed to be fun and not judgmental. We also may not know what our elfesters may be experiencing in their life financially, available time, skill and knowledge of food. Remember we are all here to learn and enjoy each others experiences. Oh and to give each other a bit of good natured $hit when it applies.

I hope you all have a great weekend and enjoy your packages. 

Biggreenpharmacist

You really oughta quit picking on me.

Completely agree. And, like Christmas, I find more enjoyment in what I give than what I get. Although I do like getting stuff...

I would but you seem to be a Razorback....so there is that.

Biggreenpharmacist

Good point!

Biggreenpharmacist

In all seriousness, I love the exchange. Over the years I’ve gotten packages from texas, minnesota, georgia, nebraska, and indiana. Just a lot of fun.

Agree 100%.  You can imagine my disappointment last time when my draw posted nothing about the box I sent.......

Biggreenpharmacist

Man I have loved it all!  I still have some georgia sauce. Just hate to eat what little I have left.

Same thing happened to me. @cazzy even reached out to him to nudge him to do it, and he never did. There was some good stuff in that box, too.

@GATraveller @jeffwit same thing happen to me a couple  of years ago.  The guy hasn't post since or least under the same name.  I did get to see some of the items I sent to him because he re-gifted them to someone else.

lkapigian i never shipped you the zebra rub.
I was going to send a third box out first with just the salt and pepper and then the other 2 boxes on the next day but not sure how well that would have been received.
