i'd just feel like a dick if i wound up having been given something worth way more than what i gave i guess.

My suggestion would be to keep that in mind when giving.
At the same time, don't spend out of your means

Spend what you feel comfortable with.

that's what i did last year. and it was fine. just sort of a risk for everyone.

[D.o.S.]

Quality of gift =/= price of gift.

i love seeing this every year. hope in the future maybe i can contribute. it made me so excited to see this thread pop up again and i hope that everyone enjoys it as much as i do seeing the gift giving

Maybe it would be an idea to add to the email the people you've already gifted, or just write it here. Kind of a bummer getting the same person twice.

[D.o.S.]

We did that two years ago I think?

Might be a nightmare to make that fit, so maybe just write last years?

I’ll start:

MY MOM

I'll send out the assignments and if anyone has any qualms, I'll mix and match a few to make it work.... maybe!

It's been like a 3 month self-imposed leave for me, wonder if it's still cool for me to do this thing? Always a ton of fun.

I'd be insulted if you didnt

There is a section in the instructions about it.

We've been doing this long enough that we might get repeats of previous givers and recipients. For me, one of the fun things is getting to know someone I might not have previously paid attention to. Let me know who you've had before if you want to avoid repeats? I should be able to work with the list to prevent it.

Last year I did some spreadsheet magic to make it work. It's all part of the game of trying to work out who wants domestic/international and trying to make sure people don't just get paired up with each other.

I'm in.

I'm in.
