Yeah... the e-mail I sent to Papa Elf actually has a split list. The realistic list, and the somewhat unrealistic list. :)

In some of the previous SS exchanges, I have seen generous individuals send somewhat more than $20-30 worth. I have a fairly large build queue, so if anything in my queue is on my victims list, I'll probably toss it in on top of the gift.

I didn't view the $20-30 as a cap, but more of a guideline. I expect I'll probably exceed that number myself, as I find it's somewhat hard to stay under that especially in the HPR world where $20-30 gets you a small motor, or various knick knacks, and I'd really like to gift my victim an actual kit, or enough parts and pieces to build something.
