So, this idea started floating around yesterday to do a secret santa, assuming you all know how it works, if not (how is the rock you're living under?) it's just when a bunch of people get together and instead of each getting a gift for each other person everyone buys 1 gift for 1 other person in the group, and you know who you have but not who other people have.
That aside, Steam Secret Santa, Each person would buy a steam game for one other person (Someone not participating would do the name drawings) and each person would buy a game for that person they got.
Now, before we get all crazy, We need to set a price range, so we don't get say Colin spending $60 on Skyrim for Spencer and Scumbag Tristen spending $5 on The Binding of Isaac for Colin, leaving Colin sad.
I vote that all gifts should be between $15 and $20, and anyone participating should have some games on their Steam Wishlist so you don't get some game you don't want (THAT IS IMPORTANT!) even if they just provide an idea of what kind of games that person likes.
If you would like to participate, simply sign up in this thread. If you can't afford to spend $15 on a gift for someone, i would recommend against participating, since it is a little unfair to others, but if everyone is ok with it then all right.

That's right, i made one, not even the forums are safe. 
I love the idea, but I don't think there should be a minimum put on it. Some people just don't have enough money and I think it's unfair to exclude them just because they can't spend the $15. It's about giving this season, not receiving...so any giving on anyone's part will feel great to them...and whatever you receive will be on your wishlist anyway, so you wanted it in the end.
