Okay. Well, I'll pass then. I did this once before, on another board, and I thought it was just for fun, bought something modestly priced that that was silly but useful and related to the subject of that board. I was mortified to receive something delivered overnight express from a purveyor of extraordinarily expensive gift baskets and then see photos of other gifts that were in that same, or even higher, price range. I guess I'm used to gift exchanges among non-family/friends with a maximum limit, not a minimum limit.
Anyhow, I hope everyone else has fun with it, and I don't mean to be grinchy, but $20 minimum and no upper limit is too rich for my blood.

Awww so sorry you feel this way. We always have fun with whatever we get. It is the thought that counts. But I understand your point of view.
I would really like if you could attend the reveal party... there will be surprises there 🙂

I have done these before and I too would hate to spend $20 range + shipping and have someone (anyone) be disappointed. I get that folks might go over - but think we should stick to the spirit of the exchange and the $20 range + shipping/card.
I guess I mis-read this initially - as that is what I thought I would likely spend. If you guys typically rawk the Kasbah......I might need to pass also. (was looking forward to this). 😞
Can we get some clarification on this? Others might be hesitant to join in as well. Thanks in advance.
The $20 will be the minimum , you can also include the shipping on that if you want. The whole point of the exchange is just to have fun. Things can be from your thrifting or stash, they do not need to be expensive, we are eBay sellers and buyers and we know how to source 🙂
@inhawaii aww so sorry this happened to you. Last year I was not able to do this because I was doing chemo and was too weak to do anything . The year before that it was Covid and we were all on lock down...
I hoping that everyone that participates has a great time this year
@firesteel_surplus LOL ok not complicating things... I assign a number to everyone then a random number generator picks the numbers. So lets say you are #1 when I just did the random number generator it picked #9 for you. So whoever I assign #9 will be the person you will send the gift to.
