Received an awesome box from Sebrina! You did an excellent job and went above and beyond!! Thank you so much!

Thank you Tasha for a wonderful box in September. We were both stood up by our pen pals. I was stood up by two pen pals so it was refreshing to see Tasha volunteer herself.

People Who Don't Want to Participate Shouldn't Sign Up!!!!

I was going to go on another rant about people who sign up and don't follow through, people who get a box and don't send one and people who send used stuff to others. I was going to rant about amoral people. I was going to attempt to explain again why people won't feel comfortable accepting something from you that is opened and used. How many of you go to the store and purchased used tissue?

I know Tasha said to spend no more than $20 but I have chosen to just create great healthy boxes and not focus on the price. I've received some great boxes and I know I've sent some great ones but this month I'm really just confused. You can spend $2 and put together a great box. Why would anyone send opened and used product?

I packed a box with $70 worth of items and I was sent used products in return. I'm just confused. Why used? I don't know you!!!!

Anyway, I was going to rant but I've just decided to fade quietly into the good night and not participate any longer. For those of you that I've met through this site and had a great experience, thank you. Tasha, thanks for coming up with a great idea.

For those of you who have failed to send boxes, sent out used stuff or signed up but didn't follow through, my prayer is that you never have to deal with someone just like you.

Well said sis, and I agree 100% this is one of the reasons I will no longer participate and fade away as well.

Personally I could never do just 20 dollars but I also took the time to get to know the person so I know exactly what the person would like and enjoy....

I don't want opened things, or used things and open products... that's like someone chewing something and spitting it out and asking me to taste it,,,,nope I'll pass.

People don't understand first how unsafe it is, and second it's pure laziness to just look around their house and grab open items, or take from a box that was sent to them and send to someone new verses going to the store buying new products and sending a proper box...

To send a box out is costly, so I don't understand why a person would spend so much money to send a box of open products is beyond me....

It's definitely a great program if people apply to the program accordingly, and for those that do as we stated above, you shouldn't even be in this type of program....sending open things and used items is not a nice thing to do especially when people take time to shop for new products for your box. Actually it's pretty sad and like my sis said it's just a matter of time for u to have someone just like you.

Very well said! I don't mind homemade things but you should never send out anything used! I am like you, I love to put a box together that means something instead of just throwing a bunch of stuff together. I try to find things that are useful, that my pen pal will like, things that I have found that have helped me.

When I started this program, I had one thought in mind, a better way to help each other out. Plain and simple. I dislike when people are stood up and I myself have been stood up numerous times but I still continue on because I know this program is working and I know there are people that have been helped.

I love this program and I refuse to let a few bad apples ruin it for the rest of us.

I got my goodie box today thanks mrsb12! I loved the milk flavoring and all the sweets!

I would mind a closed package item from a box. Like if you have box of tea and you take out one that is closed in the package. Or a fun/snack size out of a larger package. I would not want anything opened.

True. I like to pack different things so I'll take unopened things out of the original box so I can send my pal a wide variety but never anything that I've opened and used.

It just takes a little thinking and planning to make a great box!

Me and my pen pal have had busy schedules so we got our boxes out this week. I'm pre op and she's 2 years out. I've been able to learn so much from her. It is the same with my last pen pal. The info I've received and the new relationships are invaluable. This was a great idea! The goodies are the icing on the cake. It makes me sad that some people take advantage of the opportunity.
