Related: About this forumGiving a star membership
I thought that a one time donation of $35 or more came with the option of gifting a star membership to another member. I just gave but haven't received next step instructions? Was that option limited to the summer 2024 drive?

Is there a "manual" option? A du message to appropriate person? I was already a Star member when I added $40 but would give again exclusively to gift - I have a person in mind.
