What are your tricks to be a good gifter?
  • There is a long very good thread about wishlists and being a good gifter above (which is worthwhile reading) but I want us to chatter and get excited in a less formal way.

    Help me remember what I want to do as a gifter!

    All:
    1) Tack horses, including backgrounds. I make a default and copy it on to each one. Go through the barn and make sure the tack fits their theme.
    2) Name horses something cute or useful. I go with cute. I think about a naming scheme — If I get Lady Hawke, she’s getting Hawk themed horse names. Blue Mesa, it’s all wicked. Ammnit, cybernetics.
    3) Add a note saying it’s a GE gift and I hope they like it. Add in why this horse if applicable.

    I’ll also need to find helpers (flamingos) for my giftee as I don’t have fantasy genes.

    If you are going to spend real money - which isn’t required - I recommend a barn early. Many people don’t have space for a GE influx of horses. If you give someone 50 rank specials where will they put it? If you don’t have cash or hbs for this, don’t stress. They’ll figure it out.

  • Also these aren’t all my ideas. I’ve had excellent gifters in the past and they’ve taught me these things. If you are trying, it is very hard to do wrong.
  • Ask questions! The GE chat (from gifter to giftee) is an awesome way to get clarification or to ask about something not on their list.

    Also a great way to get to know each other.
  • Search up the horses they own but haven’t bred to see what other lines your giftee likes; a great way to find lined horses, or to ask for straws/eggs/embryos that will match their goals.
