Last year there were different price brackets, including $10-15, $20-30, $40-50, and $50+. These price ranges also did not include packaging or shipping costs. People generally had their gift value at the upper limit of the bracket, and it was actually kind of common to go over the suggested value, which was really nice. I had no problems managing 4 Santas, and received brand pieces or accessories in 3/4 of my gifts. Honestly though, I'm not picky and don't really care if I get brand, as I listed a lot of interests and there were plenty of cute handmade or offbrand gifts.

On another note, please don't sign up unless you know what you're getting into, and be honest with your budget/ hobbies. Last year we had someone who was not into lolita but who wanted to buy gifts for lolitas, and someone ended up getting hairbows that were kind of meant for toddlers. He was really nice about sending make up gifts, but things were kind of messy. On the flip side, some people were only able to shop locally and this got some people freaking out about not getting gifts related to their interests, but all of the gifts were very nice and well over the price bracket.
