From what I've noticed, many participating members from our community's Secret Santa are longtime, repeating participants. And, I think it's fair to say that (concerning 2023's participants, at the very least) they all put in good effort at selecting thoughtful gifts with a minimum budget in mind. So, I really don't think there is need for us to analyze the statistics regarding gifts' market value prices, because monitoring their gift-spending process only promotes a negative, less trusting view toward participants.
I suppose that, in the end, people here welcome going over-budget (despite a budget being agreed upon as a group) and will instead individually decide how much money they're willing to spend. That is, unless others who may have yet to respond mention otherwise.
Soon, I will introduce a second topic to discuss, but that isn't to say the first topic about the budget can't or shouldn't be revisited at any time if anyone is wanting to share their opinion.
