Gday, I hate to tell you this but i have had the same 2 buddy's twice now. So anything can happen. It isn't a problem getting the same per person, it is remembering what you gave them the first time. I agree that it should be simple and enjoyable, sending things overseas becomes a challenge of what your are allowed and not allowed. But i still enjoy it. :)

Yes, allergies, allergens, and other health issues, like diabetes do play a role, but beyond that...really...QUILTING is all that should matter!
