PIF is Pay It Forward...you choose one item from the last poster's list to have sent to you..then you list some items you have to offer to the next person, and so on...it is RAOK's (random acts of kindness).

PIB is Pay It Back....you post a list of items you would like to recieve...someone sends you something and they post their list, and so on...also a RAOK

Special Friends is a swap, you have to have been a member here for awhile and have good feedback to join first.
People sign up to participate, list their wishlist items....Shelly is our coordinator and you send your picks of who you would like to send to in an email to her...she matches people up and then you send that person items from their list.
It is like a gift swap.
