-====== All About the Gift Exchange ======+====== Our Gift Exchange ======
 Our members started the holiday gift exchange over a decade ago. It now runs twice a year, for summer anniversary celebrations and end-of-the-year festivities, and is one of the most beloved parts of our community. It’s a wonderful way to meet other players and make new friends.  Our members started the holiday gift exchange over a decade ago. It now runs twice a year, for summer anniversary celebrations and end-of-the-year festivities, and is one of the most beloved parts of our community. It’s a wonderful way to meet other players and make new friends. 
  
 +The gift exchange has three levels of participation:
  
 +**Level 1** is for first-time gifters, and those only wishing to gift a few things. At level 1 you are expected to send gifts worth 25,000 hbs.
  
 +**Level 2** is for the average participant and it is expected to send gifts worth 250,000 hbs. Most players will gift at level 2.
  
 +**Level 3** is for those who want to go super over-the-top extravagant. The expected amount is 2.5 million hbs but most level 3 gifters give gifts many times more valuable than that. Level 3 is by invitation only.
  
-===== How to use this guide ===== +You must complete each prior level to move up to the next one.
-This guide has a lot of information because it is designed to be as in-depth as possible. Don’t worry, you don’t need to read it all in one go. You can use it as a reference for whatever part of the process you are currently in. You will see “gift exchange” abbreviated as “GE” throughout this guide. The links below will take you to more in-depth information about how each phase of the exchange works. +

-Once you have been assigned your recipient you can check out their wishlist and start making a shopping plan. Don’t worry if you don’t understand parts of the list. This guide will break down some common confusion points, and there are several ways to get help. +
- +
-**On the 1st** you will be sent your assignment’s wish list. You can start planning and shopping now.  +
- +
-**On the 15th** the gift exchange page will have forms where you can send your gifts directly and secretly to your recipient. Any gift that can be sent via the exchange page should be. It tracks the gifts and lets your recipient know when you have sent something.  +
- +
-**On the 22nd** you should reveal yourself to your recipient. If you don’t do this the game will reveal you before the end of the exchange but it is always best to send a nice little note letting them know it was you. You can do this in your gift exchange chat with them or via a forum private message.  +
