Not so secret Santa

It was decided (in my absence may I add) that our little group of friends at work would do a "Secret Santa". For those who are unfamiliar with the concept allow me to enlighten you: Secret Santa takes place among a chosen group and involves one person coordinating and randomly choosing who is to buy a present for whom. It is usually just a small token and generally it saves people from feeling obliged to buy for lots of people. Each person knows who they are to buy for but the recipient does not generally know who the present is from hence the name: "Secret Santa". There is usually also a price limit set to save embarrassment. However, our coordinator (Weird Sarah), did not fully grasp this and refused to set a limit. I chatted with another member of the group and we decided that £10 was a suitable amount.
Tonight I have been to Weird Sarah's house to exchange Secret Santa gifts, whereupon I was informed that the limit was £20! I am not amused for the following reasons: 1) The whole idea of secret Santa is to get a nice token for a reasonable price.b) Although my gift was perfectly lovely and from the White Company in Leeds, I now look like at penny pinching Yorkshire lass. Thirdly, £20 is extortionate! I have not spent £20 on some of my closest friends.(I realise that this may just fuel the aforementioned possibility of me being thought of as a penny pinching Yorkshire lass but I care not).
Anyway, in my confusion and bemusement I have left the house without distributing the Christmas cards that I had to give everyone. You set a limit, you must stick to the limit, the limit is there for a reason, without limits there is anarchy!
