Sam's age is all fixed.
There are no hardcore rules... but common FE etiquette states:
FEs are usually arranged according to cabins, with each cabin hanging from the fish hook outside their door, a bag (Fish Extender) that has individual pockets for each of the participants in that cabin... there is a lot of variations to FEs... sometimes a simple bag, others are highly personalized. You will see the whole gamut of pocket combinations too.
Each FE participating cabin will give gifts to all of the other FE participants listed in the FE Master list (see the second post in this thread).
FE gifts are most commonly done as a one time thing, and are small gifts individually to each person listed ... placed in each person's pocket.... but it is also not uncommon to give a single larger cabin gift to each FE.
People choose the time and day of their gift delivery... some do it all at once, some do a floor a day, all depends on what works for you.
Gifts range a lot... from handmade... to store bought... the sky is the limit.
these threads might give you an idea of what are common FE...

Often folks might bring something regional or specific to their hometown... maple candy from a Vermonter for example.
I often include something from Yankee Candle, because I live in Deerfield, MA where the company is based.
Hope this helps.
