Along with Laura and Stephanie, I'm forgoing Seekrit Santas this year. I'm a little sad about it, but it was necessary. I'll just have to enjoy Seekrit Santa By Proxy this year! I'm not quite ready to wrap-up, so I'll add that later.
But that's just my point! You she obeys! She obeys you! There's obeying going on right under my nose!

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2007: Heaven's Just a Funky Moose
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Oh, and 2007? Don't think we've forgotten about you.

Our wings are not tired
I'm actually doing the slacker santa thing for the first time in a few years. I'm hopeful that I'll even be able to get the gifting done before January, but since I am a slacker santa I may not.

I usually do slacker, but I thought that there wasn't going to be a slacker santa this year. Now I have to be all ON TIME. We know I have an issue with that! Luckily, my santee knows me, too, so I suspect if I don't get my shit together, he/she will understand. :)

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I had so much fun playing pinch hitter slacker santa last year I'm playing slacker secret santa this year. I know I'm not mailing my gift before January and I'm not going to feel guilty about it!

I love the slacker santa exchange, 'cause all the giftees are slackers just like the gifters, so there's no need for guilt!
I never play, 'cause I totally can't afford it, and that's fine. I love hearing about the exchanges anyway.

speaking of cost, what's the usual price range?

I don't know that there's a price range, per se. I try to get what I think the recipient will really like.

I know it's my first time doing this, but my impression from watching from the wings over the year is not to worry about cash - just to go with what you think will make them happy. We're all in various different financial circumstances, after all - I know homebaked cookies/DIY crafty things/whatever you can afford and think would be a lovely Buffistaish thing/things to receive.

I think most people don't spend more than $20 or so, but it just depends. One of my favorite things I've gotten, I still have years later, and my coworkers were very jealous of, was a home-made magic wand from Raq, that was glittery and special and good for three wishes!
