I know my guild has a gift exchange every year for Christmas. I keep a watch all year for great bargain buys. This way I can get items that cost twice as much as the limit and only spend the limit. This year I have two quilt gift exchanges, $20 limit for bought items no limit on handmade items. I bought the gifts last spring on flash sales. One is set of Aurifil neutral thread kit of 3 big spools of 50 wt cotton. One is the large Omnigrid ruler holder in aqua color. I got both gifts with free shipping too. One was $14.99 and one was $16.99. Lowest i've seen those items since.
