Okay so I have quite a few ponies to send my giftee. What do y’all do if you have a bunch? Do we do them all at once tomorrow, or spread them out? I think the original gift exchange rules thing had a guideline but I can’t find it now. I just want to make sure I’m doing it in a way that is correct and makes sense.

I think I’m going to try and only send 3-5 a day so it’s spread out, starting with show foals, then show horses, pointeds/candy ponies, intact foals, mares, studs, eggs, straws, hbs intended for barns/pastures, then the finale will be the biggest gift :)

If there’s a guideline on how we need to send everything, I’m not aware of it

@Coppi that’s a good plan! I might divide up my gifts and do an even amount a day.

There are no guidelines besides that you should not reveal yourself before the set date. Some people wait and give everything at the end. Some people spread it out. It’s very much up to you how you want to give your gifts.

I'm struggling with this too! [Redacted because I realized I might inadvertently give myself away.]

@Follie wow that is so clever!

The way I did it was I gave the bulk of them first, when I could. Then when the reveal came I introduced myself to my recipient and shared the 3 "big" gifts I had planned for them. I asked them if there was anything they'd like altered to these big pressies, like maybe making one of them a colt (they were all fillies) as I had a fair few gmts saved up still.

I have heard of some people doing like an "advent" thing with their recipients, as well as others keeping a close eye on their recipients primary barn to make sure they don't overflow them all at once lol.

I liked a route to go with gifting, and I’m having a LOT of fun sending things

You could do a 12 days of Christmas thing....I have no idea how, but it might be fun to try!

@Confluence - I was thinking of that! I actually started planning, but the mathematics involved got a little bit crazy and I gave up in frustration LOL

I sent straws the first day, then homebred mares that fit their wishlist, next I'll send the wishlist mares I purchased and I'll finish with the 2 GMTd stallions
