So ... no gift, OK?...
judy, hostess gifts are a participate's way of saying thank you to the host for the time they took organizing the activity and it is done purely on a voluntary basis. i send some sort of hostess gift if just but a pincushion or a fq or some recipe cards to the host of any swap i participate in. i like doing this and truly believe it is a small thank you for their time. and the fact that it is voluntary and not mandatory, no one has to feel compelled to do this.
so with all that said, will you reconsider allowing those who really want to send you a hostess thank you to do so?
