    Works perfectly in Firefox 3.0.3

    It's also is a fantastic idea for those worried about telling people face to face, there seems to be a stigma with some people that expensive gift giving is a must within families, it can be a very difficult time (when it really shouldn't be) feeling you *must* stick with what normally happens.

  • Works perfectly in IE7. It's a brilliant idea, I just wish you'd released it sooner as I've already bought most of my Christmas presents!! :snow_grin Will suggest to friends and rellies that we do it next year though.
  • smashing idea, enough of a fun thing to break the ice and have the conversation - love it

    Powerful tool! Not only saving on a present, but the cost of bed and board too!

    (I think the tool's a great idea. How many presents must be bought out of habit or obligation, but both parties are wary of raising the issue?).
    There's love in this world for everyone. Every rascal and son of a gun.
    It's for the many and not the few. Be sure it's out there looking for you.
    In every town, in every state. In every house and every gate.
    Wth every precious smile you make. And every act of kindness.
