Unfortunately, she doesn't have her own computer - she uses mine (with her own computer log in/email, etc.). But since we're on the same IP, I've told her (after finding out from a guild friend slipping -- she was trying to get a meepit for me as a surprise) that we cannot exchange gifts anymore. I'm too afraid of us being frozen for that "using multiple accounts" or "scamming" or something else crazy that we'd never be able to get our accounts back from.
It's a shame, I don't much like or care about being on the receiving end, but I truly do love surprising/spoiling my friends occasionally.
Very smart to not exchange gifts, because that's sorta similar to how I got frozen....
But I remember it was last christmas and a few months before I had tried to buy a Baby PB from the Hidden Tower and it took my money but gave me no PB and a bunch of PPTers donated and bought me a new Baby Paint Brush for christmas! They were 600K, and I was in shock! Unfortunately I lost it when I was froze but at least I have the great memory of people being so nice to give me a 600K pb...

Yeah, I remember that you got frozen shortly after we finally got enough np to get you the pb. 
lol It was fun sending it over. I remember that I kept checking to see if you were online yet. 
That donation took a lot to get together, but I'm glad it all worked out in the end.
It's too bad that we can't have donations on PPT anymore because it was really nice to be able to give someone something really special. I think that time, we gifted 4 or 5 people.

I have had two people give me pieces of the lab map and then one of them sold me some pieces at a discount. None of my personal friends has ever given me anything worth more than 100 np. That's what happen's when you are like 100 times richer than all of your friends.

You can get frozen for just exchanging gifts?

There was this guy here on PPT, his name was Ryand_64 I believe, well, he got frozen, but was still logged in and had all his NP. At that time, the Faerie Shoyru came out, and I wanted one more than the world. So of course I jokingly asked him to buy me a Faerie Paint Brush, not expecting anything. I get offline, and when I come back... He gave me the Faerie Paint Brush!!! And that is how Eifro was born!
Oh, but that wasn't the only thing he did! When the Christmas Draik came out, I thought it was so cool, but I didn't have the money to get the Paint Brush, and I actually posted on the Gloat/Cry board here that I didn't have the money. A few minutes, later, he gave me the Christmas Paint Brush!!! And that is how D became the first Christmas Draik!
Ryand, if you're reading this, you rock.
Adam (from here) also gave me a Green Faellie and a Mazzew. He is like, da bomb. He probably gave me some other stuff that I don't remember, too.
You also rock.

Best things I got?
A number six plushie which I gave back.
And a Faellie which I gave to Sunnie.
And now I am sorta poor.
The only gifts I accepted were the ones I won from the mystery pic.
And the lenny condrum...
Well I sold that for cheap to someone here...
I gave a Mazzew to Sunnie.
I might have given her more...
White paint brush to DM.
Oh god! I'm genorus (SP?).
I once made a guild and only one person joined so I gave her all the prizes.
And she gave me a Faerie Shoyru in return.
Which is the only pet left that she gave me...
And now she sorta wanted it back.

You're right. It's a huge shame. My partner and I share the same computer and, hence, the same internet connection. So far, we've only sent small items to each other, usually to help out with a faerie quest. But he really wants a Tyrannian PaintBrush and I promised that if I ever got my hands on one, he could have it.
Only problem is, with all the freezing going on, I'm worried what will happen to me (or him) if I did send it through.
I did, however, give him one of my rare item codes the last time I picked up a couple of booster decks for the TCG.
I mean, I know there are people out there who enjoy nothing more than cheating the system. But you'd think TNT would realise that there are genuine people out there who share the same computer and, that just because they exchange a high-priced or rare item, it doesn't mean they're cheating.

Shoyru, I have seen people on the same computer/IP get frozen for sending an expensive item...for example: there was a mom and son playing, the mom bought a pb for the son for a holiday gift and just used the send to neofriend to send it to him as a surprise. The surprise was both accounts frozen for scamming. 
Elurial, yes, you would think that it would be understood that people sharing a computer aren't cheating if once in a while one person sends something to another person. I mean who really knows what the other person would like more than someone in your family, or your friend/roommate/person you're involved with? It's so much fun to surprise someone! If you ever get that tyrannian pb, you might be able to use the trading post, but I would advise not using the send to neofriend option.

So I put it in the bank. A few mins later it appeared in my hand again. Then I twigged that it had come from my bank. So I quickly changed my password, but too late. My cash had gone.
I was really upset, but luckily I have a nice guild, and every member chipped in and gave me 5k each, until I'd gotten my money back.
I've never forgotten their generosity and I try to donate stuff to the leader whenever she's doing comps for the new members. A codestone, a bit of cash, a faerie, whatever I can spare.
It feels good to know you're making a difference to new members lives
That's swas so nice of everyone!
I agree, helpin g others makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
