I know it doesn't matter really, and it's the thought that counts.
I really hope my person likes what I got them.

rezpawner
Just compare yourself to the cunts who signed up just out of greed, and basically just sent a card or less. You clearly spent too much!
Mkitsune
seriously, spend what you can afford.. it's the thoughts and excitment that make it special.. not what's actually in the box
TheImgurFox
I’ve still got to try and make mine
kittenkatt
I just hope my giftee was genuinely pleased, because I really did try to put thought into it and spent what I could.
kittenkatt
I do wish I'd hand-sent with a note and proper wrapping. Since then I've had a rough patch, though, so best that he got it earlier.
L0rdAv0n
I spent $0 dollars last year but the actual value was around $100
Padawin
You participated & hopefully had fun with it. I'm pretty sure you did just fine as long as you put some thought into it.
poorwhitetrash
Since it’s the thought that counts, I really thought hard about sending a gift. I hope they’re happy.
Fulliron
I spent ~5 hours and $3.00 postage. I have to hope the price doesn't really matter
bl0ke
To be fair I see an awful lot of crap being given for SS. Less money, more thought perhaps?
handbanana13
What did u send??????????
gumblemuntz
Competitive gifting...
BlakeTortilla
Honestly as long as you put some thought and effort and dont just mail them like a sack of old coupons, you're good.
Stenosissue
I ended up spending what i could afford on ss. it should ship out by friday i hope he likes it
Metallica93
Be lucky. I went to go do it and it's shut down, apparently :(
skellington01
I also missed out, they had a deadline. Next year.
Metallica93
I might make a post to see if make a smaller version. Probably not, but I can certainly try.
skellington01
That's cool!
DemiGuy
You sir, have found the middle ground. Glorious!
FlashToro
Spent what I could, wanted to have them wrapped but that would of been a good bit extra. :c
JeezusJuice
Some of the best looking gifts I’ve seen have been the gifts that cost nearly nothing. They’ve all been good. Personally, if I had been a 1/
JeezusJuice
Part of it, I’d be stoked someone researched my post history and stuff to figure out a great gift. So I think you’ll be good @OP.
BlakeTortilla
the best hands down was that sick african backpack. way cooler than the laptop.
JeezusJuice
Link?
ghostchips12345
don't write us off too early OP. from what I've seen Imgurian's are so grateful and appreciative.
sunflowersticklemorethanfeathers
This is the only reason I dont sign up. I feel bad that I may get a gift 3-4x what I can spend. It's bad enough I'm $4 short for my own xmas
AeonQuasars
I spent 20$ on the gift and 25$ on the transit.
ShareACokeWithLeroyJenkins
If ypu're between the two, then it must be that you spent just the right amount!
leeksbeetsandberries
SHE DID!!! And she is completely over the moon!!! You are my favourite person in the universe! Dutchie says Hi!
FamousOnce
If you could afford it, then you spent the right amount.
scroobiusgav
This is brilliant.
RunicRasol
Then I went a little overboard, but it was for a good cause, and besides, I would have probably spent it on Fast Food anyways.
Normu
What if I couldn't afford it?
FiddlerofFate
Then maybe you are going a bit too far and you should tone it down a bit
Naturally90
I had the worst experience. I got my secret Santa a legit signed copy of a book by his favourite scientist plus loads of other goodies in a
Naturally90
Big box. And the dude had put the wrong address details in and so the parcel got lost.... what a waste!
Naturally90
Not to mention I was a back up gifter! So obviously happened to someone else before me and he claimed a backup gift.
RealCameleer
I said this on another post. You don't join SS to receive an Xbox you join because it's fun giving/recieving gifts
LordGODMemester
I'm glad I missed ss though. I'm not artistic and I can't afford a thoughtful gift for someone. I do wish you all a Merry Christmas.
skellington01
Giving is half the fun! If not 80% of it. On the receiving end, the surprise/creativity is more important than the gift. Just make me smile.
CurseUrSuddenButInevitableBetrayal
wait, I thought people join the SS because they were a fan of nein?
SqualorOtter
Nah one dude I saw was asking for Google glass. If I had enough money for that I'd keep it for myself
TurtleOnTheRocks
My Reddit SS listed Apple products as his only interests, told me he already had a phone & laptop but didn't even say which phone
1234canIhavealittlemore
A Xbox would be nice though.

Well, we can't have everything xD
yepidoodles
Wow, well, this was supposed to be a light hearted comment, guess it didn't come across as that.
SergeantGoodTimes
Maybe you can't have everything, but I'm well endowed with several positive qualities, you see.
Mavgurian
No, I do not see, but feel free to show me a bit.
ucfh
I keep hoping to see bill gates did it again this year.
WeNamedTheDawgIndiana
That's what I said! But apparently I "spent too much money on a stranger"
P0kEy
Anyone who worries about price while giving or receiving gifts is not someone I would not want to receive or buy for in a Secret Santa.
Honeymoonmoon
That seems a more than reasonable amount to me. It's the thought that counts.
Cassian
I don't care about the money. I don't participate in SS because I'm terrified of not finding out what my disgnee would actually like.
Cassian
Designee, bleh.
Cebrail
I was quite happy with the gift I sent, but I guess not artsy enough, so received 0 points when posted by receiver :(
mynameisminerva
I just found it and upvoted it!
Cebrail
Thank you Minerva :)
palimdiekim
Doesn't matter, as long as you put some thought into it I'm sure you made someone very happy. That' all that counts :)
GhostlyWhale
Getting more than like 10 points is all just luck and good timing tbh.
Cebrail
Yeah, at least in a lot of cases
BeyondDimensions
Was it a dream catcher? XD
Cebrail
A "Brew-Beer-At-Home" kit :p, he listed Beer as an interest
BeyondDimensions
I've seen those. I bet it'll be fun. :)
Normu
Might have been unlucky with usersub. Sometimes usersub bless posts that probably don't deserve it other times they ignore posts that do.
Cebrail
Yeah, It might be a timing-matter, when most users are awake/asleep, but it still wierd how things get ignored at times
Normu
Might also be the mood of the people in usersub or the saturation of SS posts or the appeal of the top pic and so on.
Katiepants
That's exactly what I was thinking...I spent about $30...I'm not sure if that's enough or not :S
dogestyle
more than enough if that includes shipping, it's not a dick length contest
Munnin41
Its about sending a gift, not about showing how wealthy you are. If you feel 30 bucks is enough, its fine
Lanka
After wading through dozens of ss posts, I checked prices of some of the clearly shopped online.. Like, mugs for $60.. wth..
AmaIthea
$20 to $30 seems appropriate. If people choose to spend more that's their call.
thez0r
It's the thought that counts, whether you stuff a load of things in a box you find around the house and send it off, or go out and spend $60
Whydoieventryfour
My shipping was twice as much as what i spent but I could not send something. Hope they like my gift.
cattywumpus
That's about what i spent. Enough to be something, not so much that i can't buy my sister a present too.
intolerable
For me delivery costed more than the actual gift. I hate our post system.
dogbeachesarethebestbeaches
Me too. When will they invent the free postal teleporter?
intolerable
That would be great!
cravingkittens
I've spent about $35 too! Half of that was shipping though. But it definitely is enough! It's the thought that counts :)
mormacil
35 covers about my shipping, international matches FTW.

That sucks. No back up Santa? I hope I don't get stiffed this year. I haven't heard anything or received anything yet.
HolaNihao
What's the suggested budget?
Munnin41
However much you like. Its about sending someone a gift, not about showing off how rich you are
CrossEyedVoyager
I am rich though. Just in case you were wondering. I'm rich.
overcookedchickennugget
About three fiddy.
CrossEyedVoyager
You mean tree fiddy.
overcookedchickennugget
Sorry, english is my third language. I'm learnding it ;)
CrossEyedVoyager
I can't understand what you're saying, I don't speak foreign. Es no hable foreigner.
DGummibuns
$350?
q2grapple
No. Loch Ness Monster.
skellington01
$3.50. It's an imgur thing, you must be new here :) or I missed the joke lol
