How does everyone feel about "online gifting".. Would you ever give or receive a gift from a friend on Lush? These days there are safe ways to send and receive gifts without giving out any personal information. Is it something you would do or have done? This includes gifting and receiving a Lush membership! anything where there is a monetary exchange???
I think it's a nice idea, but I guess both parties would have to be cool with it...
Somebody once gifted me Gold membership, which was a wonderful thing to do. It meant a lot to me. I didn't know they were going to do it until they had, and I was truly grateful for the thought and kindness.
I was also given some incredible gifts (both material and emotional) from a small group of Lushies who have made my Lushlife something that is indescribably part of me now, even away from the site. Because of it, I have not only discovered and been able to grow my love of writing, but I have been truly awed and humbled that such people could think so much of somebody like me. I have been given true friendship, quite aside from the material gifts they have given me.
It restored my faith in humanity. Normally I will flatly refuse offers of material goods, but when something is freely and suddenly sent with such sincerity, I couldn't refuse the gestures for my own foolish pride.
Ut incepit fidelis, sic permanet.

I have received gifts from online friends...but not here on lush....
You have to be completely comfortable and secure with the person your with if its something you are going to do outside of Lush as you'll be sharing your personal contact information. Something to think about. I've done it and have no regrets, both with friends and others.
