Not having participated in one of these before, I'm wondering what the custom/expectations around the gifts is. Are people usually spending $5, $50, or $500? Trying to get a sense of the order of magnitude before I sign up.
 
I believe $20-$40 is usually suggested. The gifts I have received have been a cost of $50 so that is what I try to do.
If you can do only $20 go ahead a participate, it will be fun. Papa Elf will make sure you get a gift.
 
Same also sometimes people ask for things that you already have extras of an then you can use that.

So when I order a gift do I get it shipped to me and I ship it myself or do I give the address of the recipient when I order
 
Either way works. Make sure to use Secret Santa as the name of the ship to address so your person doesn't know it was you:)
