While I already voted in the poll, I immediately realized that I should have selected "other".

I  think Magnatiles and gift cards are quite meaningless to someone that has first access to all the magnatile and gift card deals out there. Therefore I think that the gift should be something perishable/consumable that would be appreciated. And then it hit me: cases of travel size soap, and shampoo would probably be most appreciated. Consumable, and rare.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

I meant that the poll options and most of the votes are from last round.

We should make new options and reset the votes so everyone can vote for this round.
Can we either lock the poll or create a new poll?

People are voting in the poll but it's from last round...

Besides for baby blankets, what were the other suggestions for this time round?
120 characters? Hmm, I wonder what I could write with 64 characters. Boy, it's gonna be hard to use up 15 characters. W-

Question was, why some members were actually notified and their names are clickable, while some are not highlighted blue.

   Meaning some were notified in your post and some members like @Naftuli19  was not notified.

  And when I quoted the post he became clickable, go figure!
I'm not sure why, but I modified the post and tried to fix it. Hopefully they'll still get pinged...

If only I made the list. O well. ;)
I skipped you because I didn’t want you checking your phone while driving, which seems like the only thing you do these days.

This is actually a good idea, because it's halachically problematic to get gifts during bain hamtzarim.

Don't forget the due date that the money gets returned since we can't figure out what to get(!)

Adding my .02
Dan is special to us.  We have hakaras hatov.  If we want to do something special for him and Mimi, it has to be something that they wouldn't have bought themselves ot something that they haven't bought yet, but wanted.  Do you really think giving a gift certificate is meaningful and efficient?  The amount of a VGC would be pennies to them; a gift certificate at a particular store will force them to go to that store versus going to any store they choose, whenever they want; you think they don't have magnatiles with three kids already??  I think someone should get in touch with someone who knows them and ask what is being said outside of ddf doors (Bubby Eleff, maybe?)  She will know both families. 

If we don't go that route, something personalized is always appreciated.  Baby's name on a knitted or softie blanket.  Little name bracelets for the two girl JJ babies.  The third and Dan's?  Bathrobes with their Hebrew names embroidered (in a toddler floor length size to last a while)
