i think lots of us spend more than 25 on a gift box. usually it's due to the costs that are actually behind home made gifts. i think one thing in each box i've done might be 25 and the rest of the things can be from a few dollars to several dollars but the total is never 25 it's always closer to about 100 a box.

i think 50 is fair. it might help keep out those that can't or won't put their full effort into it. it's not fair to give so much love and work to someone and get dollar store crap so defin raising the price some is good. maybe a slight raise now and slowly increase it to 50 in the future.

this coming GE i have to sit out because i just don't have the time or money with a baby coming. some people still try to do too much and then don't get gifts out in time or spend nearly enough to make the gifts nice for someone else. i wish everyone would not sign up if they can't do it. but people sign up and then let someone down and that hurts bad. i've been one of them. and the rest of us can't afford to pick up the slack and shouldn't have to honestly but we all love and care too much about everyone to let them get nothing because of a jerk in the GE.

anyways i think maybe going up to 35 or 40 for now and work ourselves up to 50 or so in the future would be good.
