How funny, my mil mentioned Bejams only this afternoon - telling me about a well proportioned female customer who leaned over one of the freezers, lost her balance and got wedged in :eek:

If I buy a present that has come from a glitch I would still spend the amount I would normally spend but it would just look like an over generous present. People know me and know I like a bargain. I always buy a Christmas present for my friend who is/was my hairdresser. We never exchange very expensive presents usually around £10 but this year she got a bottle of lanson I am certain she will know it has been bought on a deal and not cost £20.
But if you enter into a £30 secret Santa then I'm afraid I believe you should spend the full £30. Is it worth naming and shaming her though? Maybe next year you could say that you don't want to take part because last year the top you received didn't fit you and when you tried to change it for the right size you couldn't because they no longer stocked it so they told you to pick something else to the same value which unfortunately was £1.99.
Is this SIL the one that fills her boots on the family Christmas meal? If so it speaks volumes.

I would see this £30 limit as a challenge to get the most impressive biggest collection of things for £30 eg- Harrods £15 bag plus contents
