We do the same of DH family they want a price of $50ish but I will only buy up to $40 max. It costs us by the time we fly home, car hire, accommodation, petrol etc for a week away over $2000, now with bubs its all about her and I'm seriously listening to my mum and doing no pressies for the adults in my family - so that will leave just bubs to buy for. Why don't you just pretend that you brought pressies for each other, I'd be tempted to say that you spent the $200 on something that was way to big to fit in the car to take with you!

Im confused.

So they do a secret santa and the price is $100PP and since you cant afford the $100pp (which would be $200 since your buying for 2 people) then they have just pulled you out of the secret santa?

Is that correct?

Man thats rough. But then DH's family are the same, well not their family, I think DH is. He feels this need to spend far too much money on presents because thats what his family do. Its like dude they aren't a one income family and BIL lives by himself. *sigh* its an ongoing battle with that one! I'd tell your family to stop being so greedy
