Nothing wrong with homemade or even things you have already. One of the best things I ever got in a gift exchange was a package of those dired fruit snack from Gracesmommy I had been thinking about getting them but didn`t want to waste the money if they were gross. So glad she send me 1 package cause I love them now. She also included a small lunch size pack of Goldfish and I gave them to my daughter (1) and she loved them. I don`t think I would have ever tried them if it wasn`t for them being in the gift package.

I'm going to start my gift buying today as were on the way out the door to go shopping anyhow!!!!!!!!! I'm kinda exited[maybe a bit crazy about vday] also!!!!

Any package that you ship with CP automatically comes with $100.00 insurance & a tracking # so you should be safe Envelopes don't have auto-insurance so a person would have to add it separately I believe

regular parcel doesnt have insurance but it has tracking, anything else has the $100 included insurance as well as tracking...it would probably be cheaper if you get the xpresspost prepaid bubble envies since they are around $9-$12 depending on which size you need and then you can shove them as full as you like LOL

You know, gifts don't have to be expensive. That is not the point of exchanges. Lord knows mailing costs are already an arm and a half. It's just nice to receive some fun fluffy mail, that maybe had some thought put into it. Some people can get pretty creative with gifts, like a handmade card, some of your favorites v-day dessert recipes printed out on pretty recipe cards wrapped in ribbon, maybe you sew a red apron, maybe you can knit a pink toque, maybe you can paint or draw a romantic (not lewd) scene or picture. If you're the type who wants to hit the stores to find the best gift, that can be nice too. But just have fun, let your creative thoughts take off!

Is there an card exchange just for kids or something, where each kid could send out a card to 3 different kids and each kid gets cards from 3 different kids? or something like that. (they don't have to be halmark cards purchased or anything...they can be hand made or just regular little valentines)
