I know last year there were a lot of pinch hitters, and there wasn't really a system in place to make sure that they got a gift (though there was this post asking for volunteers). I know it's an administrative hassle, but pinch hitters have been known to come up with gifts in 24 hours, and it would be nice to have a system whereby pinch hitters (especially those who did not sign up in the first place) get a gift as well. Last year's posting of prompts (above link) worked well, though I think one of the pinch hitters didn't submit a prompt and got nothing (I could be wrong). I know the exchange (and especially the pinch hitting) is about giving, and I know this makes me sound like a very greedy person /o\ ... to make up for that, I'm volunteering to be a pinch-hitter gift wrangler this year, if you need one....
