I couldn't decide whether to make it a thing where people knew who their gift would go to or not, but I decided that to do that could end up a bit difficult on the basis that there's often quite a few drop-outs on the mix-tape thing. I wouldn't want to tell person A that he or she is buying for person B and person B that he's buying for person C, and then find that person A drops out and person B gives a gift but doesn't get one.
I also wanted to keep the amount spent reasonably low on the basis that not everyone is employed or well paid and I wouldn't want anyone to feel excluded because they feel that the suggested price was too high. I figured that the amount I've suggested would be enough for a paperback book, or a cheap CD / CD single / CDR, or the materials to make something for those among us who are creative. If there's a general feeling that the amount I've suggested is too low, then I'll change it to something a bit higher. And, of course, if anyone wanted to spend more than the suggested amount, I'm not going to stop them.
Anyone who definitely wants to take part, PM me. Once I've got ten names, I'll post that it's definitely going to go ahead and PM my address to the participants.
