I'm not certain I'll participate in the gift exchanges anymore, and it has nothing to do with Reddit buying the site. I've participated twice, and both times I got great gifts from the person who drew my name. However, my experience sending out gifts has been less than stellar. Both times, I did a lot of research and spent a lot of money. The first time, the person never even confirmed that they had received the gift (tracking info confirmed delivery) and the second time, it was just confirmed as received, with no commentary made, no thank you, nothing. When the person you are buying a gift for can't even take two minutes to say thanks, it kind of kills any desire to continue participating.

- farnsworth 15y agoSorry to hear you got unlucky. I've been in several exchanges without a bad experience giving or receiving- you should give it at least one more chance!
- X-Istence 15y agoI had the same thing happen, but on a smaller scale. I got one gift that was meant as a joke, and then an actual gift. I sent the two one after the other. When the first arrived, even as a joke gift, it was not even marked as received ... when the second arrived I got a very shitty thank you. Will this stop me from participating again? Nope, not at all, I have been very happy with the gifts I have received so far, and I have been even happier with what I have sent so far, and if people don't want to be in the Christmas spirit, well then thats a shame, but that doesn't mean everyone is the same way.
