Quoting *Turtles*:" My only question is. Could you send a gift card as a gift?"

Eh, I guess you could discuss that with the person you get paired with. Personally, I wouldn't. It's not about the money for me... it's about getting a unique gift from someone.

Quoting chassidy ♥:" Yep, that'd be the cheapest thing to ship but I guess it depends on like what store."

Yeah especially where I live(like the south) there are certain stores that I don't have and certain places to me are like an hour away such as hot topic and things like that ):

I totally would do this but I'm on the other side of the world so I would feel bad asking someone to gift me something and send it that far. LAAAAAAAME.

I think it'd be neat to see what little shops people have in their town. I know there's a really cute shop in downtown Harrison that would be cool to go to. I've never been in it, but have wanted to. This will finally give me reason to

I would buy them something unique, but a gift card would be easy to ship. I was thinking of sending a gift card from Bed Bath & Beyond.


Edit: I meant Bed Bath & Body.  

This may sound stupid, but if you're across the pond somewhere. Couldn't you pair up with someone who is also over there? Would the shipping still be outrageous?

You also have to remember not everyone has stores like that around them. I don't even know where a BB&B store is around me

I guess I could discuss that with whoever I am paired with. I have never done something like this so I am just learning as I go.

So we are also to list what we like?

I might enter this.

Quoting MyPurrrtyBabies:" So we are also to list what we like?"

I am wondering this too. Does the person you are swapped with ask for what they want or hint what they like?

Quoting *Turtles*:" I guess I could discuss that with whoever I am paired with. I have never done something like this so I am just learning as I go."

Yeah I've never done it either   I'm worried about finding something I like for someone, and shipping being insane. But we'll see how it goes

I've been on ebay a lot lately and I've ordered from North Carolina and I just got some shoes from someone in Minnesota and they only paid less than $3 for shipping and the was expidited from the postal service.
