Does everyone who participates post thier wish list? Or do some people not post and hope for the best. I only ask because my giftee hasn't posted anything yet. This is my first time par taking and I'm trying to make sure I don't make any mistakes.

Have you looked at your giftee's previous posts. Sometimes, if they post alot, you can get a good indication of what they have, what they like and what they want.
It totally makes me nervous too, about wanting to get it right for my giftee, so your not alone. |

You could always do a gift certificate to TotalFitness or something? And then other fun stuff? IDK, I'm sure I'd feel better if there were some set 'wishes'...

Aww...guys I feel for you! But I'm pretty sure you wouldn't want me as a giftee either. Because I've been makin' a list, checkin it twice, and making changes again, and again, and again....

My advice: be patient and give it until this weekend (2 full weeks since the emails went out). Some people are only on VF on the weekends, and remember that last weekend was a holiday weekend for many with Halloween activities. And people are still posting wish lists on the wish list thread; a few more appeared just yesterday or the day before.
An option is to get a third party to be the little bird that suggests your giftee might consider posting something. Again, I'd wait a few more days before resorting to this.

Hi guys -
In the past, I've sent out PMs to folks asking them to post wishlists. Or, you could ask someone else here that you know to send them a PM. Let me know if you'd like my help. Anne. |

Yeah, some of us involved are not exactly the shy and/or retiring and would be more than happy to drop a note encouraging participants to post something. Feel free to ask for specific help, if you want it.
