im confused,,, i jsut wanted to ask do people really buy each other things like tiffany's jewelry for RAOK?!? that seems like a lot of $ to spend on one thing to send to someone..... since we send 1 thing a month,,,,i just didnt realize it was that ,,like i duno

i mean ive never done it in the past but does that happen!?
 
there is not a price limit (min. or max.). just because someone asks for something, that doesn't mean they will get it. but more often, people just like getting what they really like out there, as a guide for their style. kwim? (yes, it can happen. does it often? no.). i can tell you from experience that it is NOT the price of things that matters. last round, people got more excited over candy than almost anything else, lol!

also, you can send more than one gift per month. break it up in smaller packages, if you want. 1 per month in the minimum. :yes:
 
oh geez...walmart. add that to my list of dislikes. (which totally sucks because walmart is, like, a mile away from our house...and target is a good 15 minutes.)
 
^^Ditto Kallison... I live in the LAND of Wal-Mart, only 5 target stores within 250 miles! And what's worse... this week is the shareholders convention.... hundreds of thousands of wal-mart'ers clogging our streets, littering up our towns.... :censor:
