Thanks for your kind words.

To be brief about gifting...

1) I keep a list of who sends me something.  I don't keep track of how many at a time.  Some people Time Travel, which enables them to go well beyond the daily allotments of 50 free gifts and the 10 collection items that come out of your inventory. My friends know I don't TT and everyone is accepting of the fact I can not flood them back with multiple gifts per day.  They've all be gracious and kind since day one.

2) All my friends have an index card with their name on it.  One side is for me to put a date I receive and the other side is for me to note the date I send back.  In general, I am able to have a 24 to 48 hour turnaround between receiving and sending back. I keep the pending giftees vertical in the pile so it's easy for me to go through and find each one.  After sending, the card goes to horizontal. I do however, have a small core list of friends who have been with me since the beginning and they receive something everyday regardless of whether they send me something or not.

3) On my regular game, I usually send one gift per person, so I am able to give to 60 different friends per day.  On LideweyNoGift each friend also get one thing every day (I only have 25 friends there so everyone gets something).  The 10 collection item gifts I either send out randomly or I concentrate an entire collection to 2 different people)

To finish, in short, keep experimenting and find what works for you. Everyone has their own style and good friends will either accept yours or not. If they decide not, then they may end the connection, but don't fret as there are many, many here who will be willing to become your friend and work with you.

Hope this helps.

Have a lovely day and lets hope that server starts up again. I still have zaps and all gifts to send from last night's allotment.
