How many of you have sent gifts to the "wrong" member?

I don't think I have done that, but I have started to give a gift and then doubted myself if I had the name right! Usually then I'll just go back to whatever thread gave me the idea and jot down their username. Some people I remember better by their names or something else than their usernames.

That's probably not the first time I've done it, either. Tell me I'm not the only one!
I guess that's an easy mistake to make, I didn't even realize that there was another memeber with almost the same name as me
I have accidentally sent a gift to myself. It was right when TCS started the gift thing and I was confused about how it worked.

I haven't given a gift to the wrong member- but I've donated a large amount of points to a member who hasn't been active since like 2002
Luckily, Ryan was very nice as to give my points back to me so I could donate them to the right person
I felt like a complete idiot!

Well, I came in here hoping to find that I wasn't the only one -- but apparently I am: one time I was trying to give a Flying V to someone else, and instead, I managed to give it to MYSELF.


A kind moderator corrected that one for me...

It's just a fun thing to do here.
Yep, thanks for all this info

I received some PMs meant for SalemWitchChild when she gave her points away a couple of months ago... It's pretty confusing sometimes, I think.

I don't have many points so I'm very careful. Anyone I've given gifts to I've been certain it was the correct recipient.

Same here. I double and triple check to make sure I don't waste those points

That is me too, sometimes I think I might be forgetting, but I always make sure I am sending it right

I probably have, I am still learning about the bank and points and stuff. It is so sweet when someone sends a gift. I have recieved some that were completely unexpected, and it just made my day.

ClaireBear admitted to doing the same thing (you posted about the same time), and I know a few others who did so when they first tested the new feature. The same goes for trying to give ribbons.

I also have to admit that Ryan has had to make some changes I made to my username/title retroactive!
