To be annoyed about 'Secret Santa'?

[Unfitmother]

I'm from a large familiy and whilst we all buy presents for the nieces and nephews we have a 'Secret Santa' for the adults. I bought for one sis and a BIL and understood from the sis who organizes it that we were to spend up to £50 per present which I did. I bought clothes for my sis and spent ages putting together a lovely hamper for BIL with 2 expensive bottles of wine.
Either my BIL or his DW (another sis!) bought my DH the crappiest pressie I've ever seen! A christmas apron (he's no cook) a packet of biscuits and a couple of biros, none of it wrapped.
I didn't say anything but am I right to be put out?

I'd be really farked off if i was you. Did you get something good at least?

YABU.

Present giving has to be unconditional. Some people are good at buying presents and putting in the thought, (you) and others are shite (them). It's a fact of life and you can either buy crap presents next time or just enjoy the giving part and try to let go of the disappointment.

You can't expect people to come up to your standards on this, unfair though it may seem.

You're spending an awful lot on the adults. I'd suggest a £5 limit secret santa limit for necxt year. Or scrub it altogether

Did they mistake the amount for £5??

there is a poster on here whose MIL once gave her 200 yards of knicker elastic....so it could have been worse

Some people are just rubbish at gifts and some men are terrible to buy for, but that does seem strikingly lacking in thought and effort.

and fifty quid is lot of money

We only buy for the children, and adults all give £50 per couple to charity.

Works well for us.
