With these last four gifts posted today, we've closed the book on another year, folks. Thanks to everyone for your participation and support! In the past month, we've seen 71 gifts posted by 59 participants--old-timers, newcomers, and a few of you who returned to the ship just for this fest. Collectively we've left 2,277 comments, surpassing last week's goal of 2,000 by far. Hurrah! If comments are love,
rs_small_gifts is a very warm and happy place.
The master list for 2010 is below the cut. We've done everything we can to ensure it's as accurate as possible, but please let us know of any mistakes or broken links!
