While we did do this years ago, last time it happened 2 people ended getting screwed and didnt recieve anything, and that bascially put a halt to any future ones.

Should probably up the limit. $10 is cool and all but gets very little especially with shipping. Can we do $50 including shipping?

I dun have 50 quid to spend on a gift + shipping.

gift should be small enough to fit in a bubble envelope really.
Keeps shipping costs down as well.

Dam son. I agree $10 with shipping doesn't leave you much to work with (hell, that last Secret Santa I was in, shipping alone was over $10 for me), and I would suggest $10 plus shipping as the limit, but $50 is a bit much.

Its a limit, not a minimum. Mostly if you get an international gift.
$30 max?

True true. Needs to be higher than 10 though.

Yeah $10 + shipping is a fine limit.

I'd be down for it. Actually, I really like the SECRET Santa part, where you don't know who you're buying to / receiving from, until you actually get it.
I don't know how to make that possible though, apart from giving each one some ID number, and having a man in the middle taking care of the addresses and names... That way you'd only know the IRL name and address of the person you're buying to, but not which user it actually is.

Also, is it supposed to be in pairs? Like A send to B and B send to A, or could it be like: A sends to B, B sends to C, C sends to D, and D sends to A?

Shipping, well, if you got something small, a bubble envelope with tracked shipping could be a tenner.

Also, shipping from the US to EU and vice versa would up the shipping.
I think that people who got more money to spend should note that they can ship outside of their territory.

Yeah it would be $10 for the gift. Shipping is separate is what I was thinking.

As for people being screwed over apart from publicly shaming there isn't much more anyone can do. As this isn't a site owner thing nobody will be banned I imagine. But that's part of the risk I'm afraid

Each and everyone gets a Temp name (of whom participated) which they should purchase a small gift for.
They then send it to said person.
Tempers themselves don't know from who they get a gift, unless some anus decides to spill the secret.

If I didn't have money problems, I'd also say 50 is max including insured shipping.
10 quid isn't much but it's perfect for a small gift.
