The Rules
-
The Budget
Spending limit: 10,00€.
Go over the budget, you lose points. Come in under budget, you win points.
-
The Draw
The draw takes place on the night.
You cannot give a gift to yourself (duh), or to your significant other.
-
What to Bring
- Your gift, pre-wrapped (looking at you, Moto).
- Food, drink, party supplies.
-
The Secret Rules
Secret Secret Santa is just like Secret Santa, only more secreter – you don’t know who you are buying the gift for.
What then stops you from buying the blandest box of chocolates that is no fun at all? Easy: peer pressure, judgement and shame.
Your choice will be rated by your so-called friends, out of 100 points in each of the following three categories:
- Shitness – the more impractical, ugly and useless, the better.
- Sustainability – is your gift made of Labubu fur? Bad news for you.
- Suitability – how well does your gift match the aura of its recipient?
- Gain or lose 1 point for every 10 cents you are under or over-budget
- Maximum ± 100 points (so a gift stolen from a child = +100 points, a 500€ gift bought with your credit card = –100 points).
And to avoid that kind of cheating everyone knows about, win-or-lose by sticking to the budget:
