TO reiterate from the Secret Santa thread...

"Gifts can be whatever you please, we try to stick to US$20/£15 average."

It's the average price of a CD but it can be more or less than that, depending entirely on what you can afford. You can make your own present, burn your own songs onto a CD, buy from a store or donate a good condition reject from your own collection of clutter, we don't mind. The sum of $20 US or £15 sterling is only a guideline, please don't let anyone tell you otherwise! Many people spread the cost across a couple of months, collect little things over the weeks, use padded packages rather than boxed parcels, ask visiting friends to pass the parcel on - I'm happy to be used as a staging post for various packages, to post them on to other addresses - my record so far is 5 the year before last!

The whole point of Secret Santa is to foster a link with someone you might not otherwise have communicated with, have some fun taunting them (or not taunting them which is even more frustrating for the Santee), and you'll get something in return from someone you maybe don't know very well!
