My daily gift limit exceeds the number of active friends I have so when I send a gift, everyone gets one. So that's not a consideration for me.

I consider an away message as their way of explaining why they aren't sending gifts or visiting, not to ask anyone to exclude them from freebie gifts. Trying to exclude even one person from the "all" list can really slow things down. Just think about it... when gifting 30 or more TT gifts each day, excluding one person would require that I make 210 exceptions in just one week! I don't think anyone would ask that of a friend.

I figure the friend will know their giftbox will hit 500 while they're gone so my gifts will either make it  as one of those 500 gifts or fall off once their giftbox is filled. I don't see any harm either way.

However, I do draw a line when it comes to CIs. I expect any away friend to remove CIs from their WL. I figure if they can put "away" in their name, then they can also remove CIs from their WL. But even if they don't, I won't send a CI to an away friend. In fact, any friend doesn't change their WL only gets freebie TT gifts from me even if they don't put "away" in their name. I don't want to waste CIs on someone who might not get them due to a full giftbox when I could send those CIs to someone else who could really use them and appreciate them (or use them myself!).

So I draw the line when it comes to CIs. I make no exceptions for free TT gifts.
