Picking a name off a tree?

How many gifts do you normally give when you pull a name off a tree? I have never pulled a name before because we had other avenues and specific instructions for giving. Basically, I have no idea if I give one item or 10. 

Lilly picked up an 8-10 year old boy and so far we have a sports book, K'nex, and a race car thing. More? Different item? Help a girl out.

Kid #2 - maybe???

Hysteroscopy #10 - scar tissue grew back reblocking my right tube
#11 or IVF with scarring still inside?

    That sounds good. I usually include a new hat or mittens because we live in New England. So it ends up being 3 to 5 items total.

    Depends on the items. I picked a 17 yr old this year. I got her a nice sweater and cute slippers- she was a larger size and it cost a bit more.

    I think it depends on the org--there's one local agency near me that actually just has you get one item.  Angel tree I think usually has a short list, and if none of the individual items is too pricey, I just get the whole list (though it's been awhile since I did Angel Tree, so maybe that's changed?).  If you're really unsure, you could check the org's website or give them a call to ask what's normal/what the expectation is.

    I did angel tree this year. Normally 1 gift under $20. I got a couple things since it was a 5 mo old and the list was bathtoys and stroller toys.
