Secret Santas -- UNVEILED
sean:
I would love to do this but I am really bad at sending things. as Liz knows. I will have to contemplate this.
(LIZ THEY ARE COMING SOON I PROMISE)
(this is an example of how not to do secret santa)
fatty:
My guide to secret santa:
A parcel 500 - 750 grams costs $20 - Aust to USA
If the present cost between $10-15, that's $40-50 all up.
For some people, this is already more than you might be able to spend.
So if you start by figuring out how much postage will cost, you have a price base and a weight limit. I think tihs is a good limit. Saving money on weight is a good idea.
I reckon a good way to value a present is against something you may already do. Maybe you can compare secret santa to hanging out with a good friend or going to dinner with them for their birthday. $40 for me (in Aust dollars) would be going out to dinner, maybe buying my friend a drink, and getting the train home. If someone spends less but puts more thought and effort into it - it is of equal value.
Tom:
I have no money for anything...
DonInKansas:
If there's a10 dollar spending limit I'll just send 10 bucks.
in pennies.

Sean owes me Zebra Cakes.
Also, Sean, if you end up being my Secret Santa the Zebra Cakes do not count as part of the gift.
