I really would love there to be an extra page added next Lumi, similar to the gift centre that shows a page of wrapped presents with tags showing who's left a gift under my Lumi tree.

I panic every year that someones left me a gift and I've not left one for them. It would take away the panic of "oh pants I forgot to get them something must send them a gift-box now!".

It doesn't have to be anything fancy - just let me know who's left me a gift so I can make sure they have one too! :)

This would really be a lovely addition! It would lessen some of the anxiety for sure.

ohh that would be AMAZING

Ohhh yes please!!

Epic idea!!! I would love that so much!

Hmm. It would have to be something we could opt out of. I know it would ruin the whole surprise aspect for some folks. I for one would feel more anxious about giving if it wasn't anonymous until packages open on Lumineve. I don't want the people I gift to feel they have to gift me back! Edit: Perhaps an "anon", or custom "fill in your own greeting" tag aspect could be added if you don't want your name posted when gifting trees.

... I thought this was already a feature in when the Lumi trees are "opened." I've always had names attached to "You've received ______ from (user name)!"

I think it should be optional. I would rather be surprised on Luminaire. Having said that, I took a screenshot of all gifts/users last Luminaire and I've gifted them all back this year (save one person that has set to friends only.)

I really like this idea :)

Yes you see when the trees are opened, but I'd like to know who has gifted me (not what they've left, just that there is a box there from them) so I can make sure there's something under their tree from me. Kind of like how you look at a tree IRL and see boxes. You don't know what's in them but you can see the tag and you know there's a gift there and who it's from.

I understand some people like the surprise, an anon feature would be good too. I just have anxiety around gifts. I have ADHD and remembering everyone I want to give a gift to is stressful. Knowing who's left me a gift would help me make sure everyone gets a little something. I appreciate your input though and I guess some people like the not knowing aspect :)

This would be a wonderful option to have. While it may not be as mysterious, at least it would help people remember whom to thank or give back. I can understand how annoying it might be seeing a bunch of usernames in a cluster and being nervous not knowing if someone was accidentally missed and having to relook what feels like 10 or more times. A list more organized might help, yes.

i wait until after lumi to gift back bc i end up w doubles of stuff all the time lollllll

I can relate, I always seem to forget at least one.

Ehh, this makes the whole thing seem transactional. There would be pressure to ‘return’ a gift whenever someone left something under a tree, even for just a tiny ‘I’m thinking of you’ present.

You can always give extra gifts after trees have been opened.

Not strongly against it or anything, but I think I'd find it mildly annoying for the most part (usually do those gift the person above threads) and slightly stressful. If someone random gifted me I'd be more likely to worry about the gift when it's unknown (did they give me something cheap or expensive?), than after when I can send a giftbox or just thank them later.

I'm a procrastinator and literally did 99% of my gifting yesterday, and I'm guessing there would be a lot of last minute gifting from other people as well. So this kind of option would not guarantee a stress free holiday - you would end up missing some gifts anyway. Or you would spend Dec 24 constantly refreshing to see if you got any last minute gifts that you need to rush around "gifting back."

This also wouldn't do anything to discourage my bad habit of procrastinating - because I wouldn't want my giftees to feel any kind of pressure to send me gifts. So, it would be one more excuse to do things last minute.

I also see it an opportunity for "grifters" or "gift farmers" - people who participate in MM, gift above threads etc, who don't care to send nice gifts, just what ever junk they have to so as to get a nice gift in return. There were already a lot of complaints with the old MM partners not sending anything back, or sending junk and people missing out on the gift above threads. With this, another avenue would be open to these people - put a small wizard token under someone's tree in the hope they send you something in return that's really expensive.

No, while its a nice idea (and if it were ever implemented, I would make use of it because I too hate missing people), I think there is way more scope for abuse, added stress and other issues, than a good outcome.
