This entry is intended for 2011 HGE Participants only, as it spells out the instructions for this year's Holiday Gift Exchange in detail. Your HGE Giftee's name has been or will be sent to you individually so you can keep it a secret until the HGE Gift Opening Extravaganza, 2011, date and time TBD.
The HGE Theme for 2011 is......... We wish you a MERRY MONOGRAM!
The gift item you purchase for your Giftee must start with one of the Giftee's initials (first, middle, or last name), OR it must be purchased from a place that begins with one of those letters. For example, if you are lucky enough to have MY name, my gift must begin with J, M, or P. OR it must be purchased from a store, online site, etc., that begins with J, M, or P.
Special recognition will be given to any Gifter who uses both criteria for the gift purchased for his or her Giftee. Extra special recognition to anyone who uses both criteria AND writes a poem or jingle to accompany it at the HGE Gift Opening Extravaganza, 2011.
Any Giftee who wishes to do so may send the HGE Gift Coordinator (me) a short list of hints via email for gifts you might like your Gifter to consider, and I will pass the list along to him or her. I will also serve as intermediary for questions or comments between Gifters and Giftees, as has been the custom for HGE Gift Coordinators in the past.
This blog may be used for comments and questions of a general nature that may be of interest to one or more Gifters and/or Giftees.

Price range for the 2011 HGE: $25 to $30, not to exceed $30 under any circumstances! Happy shopping one and all!
FINE PRINT: Gift cards, gift certificates, gift I.O.U.'s or other promissory notes do not qualify as gifts.

You're WAY too creative, Mama. My wheels are churning...
So what does this "special recognition" entail? Hmmm. Is it more than just a pat on the back, a high five, or a "way to go!"? If so, count me in.
Too bad nobody's initials include an I, or my jingle would already be ready to go (Ideeea Baaaahx!).
Here's a general question:
The theme is Merry Monogram. Very cute. In reading your instructions, though, I'm not entirely clear as to whether or not the gift needs to literally contain one of the giftee's initials. Yes? No? Maybe so?
Annie,
You ask too many questions! If you qualify for "special recognition" you'll have to take what you get!
:o)
As for your other question,it's always fine to think outside the (idea) box!
I love your gift ideas, Jill. So, if someone got you a mixer from Men-R-Nerds...that would work, right? Or a jello mold from J.C. Penney?
