Secret Santa Stocking Stuffer Swap

Are these to be new gifts, handmade, or destash? Also is there a suggested dollar amount? I'd love to participate, but I'd be so disappointed to send out 5-10.00 of goodies, and receive just random inexpensive destash items or a few ATC's.

I have the same concerns as** babsmomof5** above me mentioned .I always like to know the minimum spend on a swap as I never want to send not enough but also don't want to spend money to open gifts and have items I hate or someone else's junk (atcs, postcards, used stamps etc sorry just don't use them so try not to join swaps that I will get them in) As I always truly try to comply to swap requirements and make my partner smile but this time of the year there will be many people joining who only want freebies and do the minimum.So could you please add a minimum spend amount to the swap and that they must be store purchased items in less your partner request homemade (in less of course you want it to be homemade items as well) sorry I really really want to do this swap I just want to be sure I know the requirements as well as everyone else swapping knows and follows the same spending amount so we don't send 10 bucks of items and get 3 items for the dollar bins or opened , used items etc .Thanks and it's a great swap and I'm not trying to pick at it I just really want to do it and enjoy it and it will save you from the headache of unhappy swappers coming to you to fix issues with their swaps later happy holidays

Oh sorry one more question are allowing unrated or badly rated swappers to join the swap? (I'm new myself but have almost 20 ratings and love swap bot and I'm all for second chances but being a 2 partner swap with gifts I'm just worried a bunch of flakers will make a bee line for this swap to get 2 people's gifts at once and have a lot of disappointed people getting nothing in return and I know you offered to angel but I'd hate to see you have to angel at all let alone abunch of people as everyone has better things to do with money and time then pick uup someone else's slack ) so I'm just curious if you have a set rating, swap requirement in your head you will be looking for or if you are allowing all swappers to join? Once again sorry to ask and I'm not nitpicking just truly want to be sure the swap is something I'm comfortable joining as I've already been flaked on and it socks and try to be careful with swaps I choose to join.thanks in advance for your answers and for a great swap idea

@lexi83 This sounds like a nice swap but I would like more details before I commit. Budget? Is handmade ok?
