I'd be fine with it. As long as you and I don't buy the same thing again.

You people always leave me out of things.

One person assigns one participant to buy a gift for the other based on your budget
You don't get to pick who you get to buy a gift for or from but all participants are guaranteed a gift

So like a gift circle

Person A buys a gift for person B
Person B buys a gift for person C
Person C buys a gift for person A
And so on

There's a price maximum and minimum though, it wouldn't be fair for someone who bought someone something worth $50 to get $1 gift
So last year I think the limit was a minimum of $5 and a maximum of $20

If you can only afford to spend $10 you'd be paired with someone with a similar budget.

You won't know who's buying you a gift though, and you can't let the person you're assigned to know you're their secret santa. Hence secret
