Chinese gift exchange

I need some gender neutral gift ideas. The gift should be valued at $35. It's for family. First time trying this. There's a bunch of boys but also women and younger females. Everyone is over 18. No gag gifts. And i don't want to do a movie basket because i can almost put money on it that someone will be bringing one.

  • Lottery tickets, passes to something in your area (aquarium, museum, etc.), "taste of ___' basket (i.e. Taste of Italy- put pasta, pasta sauce, strainer, olive oil, etc.)

  • seriously, using this term is so offensive.

  • Lotto tickets are always a big hit (we do a white elephant exchange with friends each year).

    Magazine subscription (something gender-neutral like People, Time or Newsweek).

    Hallmark Ornament

    Movie tickets

    Board game

    I found this one online, and thought it was hilarious:  An Assortment of Batteries with a Tag that Says, "Gift Not Included"

  • lottery tickets were the biggest hit i have seen.

  • I'd get "Apples to Apples" (the boardgame) along with some fun game night accessories - perhaps a snuggie? As gag-gifty as it sounds, a snuggie is quite the wonderful gift - I got one as a joke for my husband when I saw it with his favorite football team as a logo, and I steal it nightly...

    I didn't understand what this post was about.  I thought that this was some type of family cultural tradition and am now really sad it's not.
