I've offered to donate specific things......a treat for a MNer.
I was matched with someone with DC.
Now I feel like a complete crap donator as I have seen loads of posts about how kind donaters have been, sending focused presents to the family circs.
So my treat is going to look really unthoughtful and tight coz I haven't aimed my presnt to the DC. I can imagine the gift being opened with a dismissive "meh". probably why I haven't been acknowledged on the thread.
It's probably going to be viewed as shit in comparison to the other wow gifts on the thread, isn't it?
How do people decide what to buy after they've been matched when it says in the rules that you state your donation before you're matched Confused.
Aibu to be saddened and feel like not bothering.

MNHQ kindly slapped me gently with wet kipper last year and said Anything Will Do It's The Thought.

The Christmas Appeal shouldn't make anyone feel anything less than warm and fuzzy.

We know it can be a bit disappointing to feel your gift is not acknowledged, but often Mumsnetters are nominated because they have had a really tough year, so they might not always get round to posting a thank you on the threads. Try not to read too much in to it - from the responses here it's clear that every gift means a huge amount to the receiver, even if they don't express it publicly. What could be more Christmassy than that, eh?
