This way, your Secret Santa can be an informed shopper...
Oh and Re-purposing is acceptable. goodness knows that we all have enough to share without breaking the bank during these economically difficult times.
Another tid-bit is you don't have to shop for the entire family/clan... Last year my SS sent gifts to all of us... it was wonderful. I have used all my goodies throughout the year...
