About judging-in the winter SS, I recieved a very low-ball gift. Did I mind? Hell no! Everyone always says gift cards are the cheap way out and that was all my SS got me. But they had taken the time to find something relavent to me. Book gift certificate is like, the fastest way to make me a happy camper.
On the other hand, I went over the price cap. And even though I did and my SS didn't, I didn't mind.

So that's on the other end of the spectrum, Penny&JB. If people are honestly going to be pills about it and whine that "MY SS ONLY SPENT THE MINIMUM-whinewhine-" then bully to them. They're selfish prats.
