Holiday Party
I am going to an adult only holiday party Saturday and they are doing a grab-bag exchange. Each person brings a present of $25 in value. And its the kind where you can steal from each other. Anyways, every year I try to come up with a fun idea and fall flat - so can you offer some ideas of gifts you?ve gotten in that range that would be a hit? They need to be gender-neutral. TIA 
Re: Holiday Party
If you're looking for nice gifts (or are you looking for funny ones?), I've done a couple that were pretty successful - one was a "beer tasting" set - I went to World Market and picked out 4 different beers (you can buy them individually) - one seasonal, one fairly well known, etc. and then they had little mini pilsner glasses so i included 2 of those for tasting!
The other I did was, again, from World Market. They had a small porcelain dish with 3 different sections. Then they have miniature bottles of olive oil. So I got 3 miniature bottles of olive oil, one was a rosemary olive oil, one was regular, and the other was another flavored olive oil. Then I added a bottle of seasonings meant for dipping bread.
