. Watching these boards, I can't imagine anyone here being unappreciative of what they're sent. But if I can send my SS something that's spot on for her because of something I read in her posts, all the better!! (right, DirtDiva?

)

But I do have a sock sizing question. If someone says their sock size is 6-10 and the socks you want to get are only mens small, medium or large (with no sizing chart), would you get the small or the medium?

I just want to say (bianchi) that no matter what I get (celesteandnakedcarbon) that I will love it and (bianchicolorceleste) be happy with whatever I get because (nakedcarbonanddidImentionbianchi?) someone took the time to think of ME.......

Donna- It is completely the thought. Every month the things have been very different. And I can tell you I have enjoyed every month that I have participated. I have gotten new treats, socks I would never have picked (but I really like them), socks I would have picked, hot chocolate I can't get in Texas and a t-shirt my parents threatened to steal off my back!

Every month I have done SS has been a blast, who doesn't love getting a gift for no reason at all? I have enjoyed giving gifts and I am not ashamed to say I really enjoy receiving gifts! If you put thought into it I am sure you SS will love it. Don't stress, I bet your SS is one lucky gal with all the thought going into your gift.

I totally agree with what everyone has said. It's all about the thought, time & effort someone took to choose and get that gift for you. I, too, have been happy surprised with SS gift so far. I'm really not expecting that to change anytime soon.

Good luck and have fun shopping and recieving!

This month was so much fun!! I have my gift and now I just need to package it up.

I absolutely love swapping! It is so much fun to shop for another person and hope the package brightens their day. I know my day is always brightened when my gift comes.

If anyone's interested, http://www.cafepress.com is a nice site with themes. You can find a printed product for just about any topic. I just put in "cycling" and came up with dozens of pages of things to pick from. You can narrow the search to journals, cards, calendars, mugs, t-shirts... I've bought from them in the past and they seemed quite professional to deal with.
