I got a terrific cookbook (and homemade cookies) one year and gave an equally terrific cookbook (and a Bollywood calendar) another year.

oh i forgot to set price limits - let's say no more than... $15?? does that sound right? more? less?
maybe include in your email 3-5 random things that you are interested in (eg cooking, rocks, birds, trains etc).
LL, i think funny little handmade gifts are appreciated (or should be). iirc i've sent a book (that was kind of a dumb one from me) and last time i sent a copy of abbott's drawings that we published.

really, the whole point is to just receive something interesting in the mail, because who doesn't love that

So I only tried this one other time, and I mailed out an AWESOME THING and apparently I put not enough postage on it, and it ended up being returned but by the time it was returned I had moved out and was sleeping in my car for three days, and I was too ashamed to go back to the building and if you were my secret santa that year I still feel really bad about it even tho it was like 5 years ago. And also the worst part is I LOST THE AWESOME THING and it was really one-of-a-kind.
So if anybody's mad at me I'm really really sorry and send me a private email and I will re-send something to you b/c I don't even remember who you are.
Once, I mailed Roxy a bottle of Moxie soda but I can't remember why.

I have honestly never heard of (or read) anything by the poster I'm supposed to be buying something for. Apologies in advance for a potentially generic present.

I have to post a picture of my xmas card when I get home today, because I can say without hesitation that it is simply the GREATEST xmas card of all time. And the gifts were perfect. Thank you secret santa, you know who you are.

I am so worried about disappointing the recipient of my gift, it's not even funny.
