Not so good....
By Natalie

Clip to ScrapBook   
At my school, we did this too. EXCEPT it really stinks if you give really great gifts and the gifts you get are junk. I usually went to Target or Walmart and got decent items. Some of the items I received: "cat hair" cookies (yes I found numerous pieces of cat hairin them and on them) in a rusty Christmas tin, a legal pad, a used pencil, stale potpourri that was half used, among other items. I did not get ONE item on my list. I don't want to sound ungrateful, but if you are going to do it, make sure to have strict guidelines as far as items must be new, a $ limit and tell people to make sure to give items that their secret pal will like. As for me, next year I am not participating.
