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

If "Claire Bear", who hasn't posted since 2005, checks in again, she's going to be wondering who (ClaireBear's) "Bean" is!!!!
That's probably not the first time I've done it, either. Tell me I'm not the only one!

Nope, you aren't the only one!!! I've sent one to a member and realized AFTER that it was the wrong name

you're welcome.I bumped a thread up for you, but it was the wrong one.


Tricia, I have sent them with the wrong message too.
Or clicked to give a gift and entered some of the username and then when the little box pops up, clicked on the first name that popped up.....not knowing it was the wrong one.
Thankfully I've only done that maybe once or twice.Now, I double check mine

The gifts are little images that virtually serve as decorations. You've received several, which are on the right hand side of your "heading", i.e., below "Join Date", "Location", etc.. If you read the link crittermom provided, you'll understand how to give them.

It's just a fun thing to do here.

I double check, but still make mistakes. It's no big deal, as two members get gifts once I discover my error, but there must be members who think I'm a bit "gaga".

Nah, I'm sure they are just happy to receive a gift.

I haven't ever sent a wrong one, but I think I have been the recipient of one that might have been a mistake, cause I have no real idea what it was for.....
even though it was very sweet...

Lois, you can only give ribbons to yourself
You can donate points to others so they can buy themselves a ribbon,but not gift them a ribbon.

I check to see if the member has actually received the gift, and if it isn't showing, I go to the "Members' List", and look for very similar names.

That's correct. Unfortunately, the developer apparently lost interest in the project, so we can't add gifts, or change the ribbon/gifts' options.

Here =D
I have only given about 3 gifts, so no mix-ups yet, though I'm sure I will become a guilty party some time in the near future! (CatsAreBetter, I gave you mine on purpose, if that's the one your thinking of, lol!)
