one of them came up to me privately and said two of the people included decided they were going to buy something small for everyone along with there secret santa gift which is set at 25 dollars no more no less... to buy something "small" at 5-10 dollars for everyone else i think is pricey... am i obligated to do this now? and to add to it the girl i picked she already told someone to find out what i was buying her to see if she'll like it... (i know secret santa is suppose to be secret but its to easy to figure out who has who once one person tells who they have) anyway... i just feel they've turned it into a greed fest.

It does sound like a greed fest to me and it seems they've taken a lot of the fun and spirit out of it. I think your only obligation is the Secret Santa. I would just buy the gift and keep quiet. I'm sure you'll do fine in your gift selection, but if your co-worker doesn't like it then I hope she has the manners to graciously accept her gift and enjoy the spirit in which it was given. Good luck and Happy Holidays. 2D

A dollar store mug and a pouch of hot cocoa for everyone. There's $2.00 on everyone.
Don't bother telling the girl what you're going to get her. How spoiled! Get what you want to get her and if she asks, tell her in a sing song voice "Ohhhh it's a surprise- it IS secret Santa, afterall." If she persists just keep repeating versions of that.

Go to the purfume store, and buy a sample size vial of perfume for $1.50 to $2.00 each for everyone male & female (how many people?) if that's what you have to do... it sounds like it's not what you originally signed up for... but stick with the $25, and buy something nice from Bath & Body... everyone likes that.
