OK....this thing has obviously taken off since I created the thread. Lots of people are involved, and I'm receiving requests for some rules (guidelines?).
Fair enough.
1) If you gift someone, congratulate that person
by user name on this thread so we can all see who won. How the winner is determined is entirely up to you: It could be the first responder, the person with the most compelling story, the coolest avatar (

), whatever.
2) If you're the recipient of a gift, please come back onto this thread in a short period of time and offer something up. Let's keep the giving in motion.
3) Keep it balanced. Don't let the number of things you've received exceed the number of things you've given to others. This is important.
4) Use lots of emoticons, because they're fun.
