Just as an FYI, I think most Internet vendors will let you ship directly to a gift recipient. I do this when buying presents off the 'net for my family in Illinois, rather than paying to have something shipped to me and then paying again to ship it to them. You don't get to wrap the gifts that way, but it sure is a lot less expensive!
That's true. My dad wanted to buy my cousin in Canada a bike as a gift several years back, so he ordered it online and had it shipped to their house instead of our's. Was much easier than buying a nice bike here and then mailing it to Canada. That would've been soooo much more expensive!

I still can't believe some people made the promise to participate in the gift swap but got their gifts and didn't do their part. That makes me so mad! Truely shows what type of people they must be.
