Gift Exchange

I remember a couple of weeks ago there was a post about what to bring to a gift exchange where you're not sure who will get the gift.  At the time I didn't pay much attention... just my luck now I'm going to one on Christmas Eve!  It has to be $25 or less.  I'd rather not do just a straight gift certificate.  People will be in from D.C., Chicago, and some other places.  Any recommendations?  I was thinking of doing some kind of dinner basket with a bottle of wine, pasta... something like that. Any other ideas or suggestions of what to include in that type of thing?

Thanks in advance for suggestions!

Re: Gift Exchange

  • One of the ideas was an ihome speaker system that was $20 at walmart.

    I would skip the basket idea since some people are traveling and will have to carry it back with them on a plane.

    25 scratch off lottery tickets
    A board game (flat for their suitcase)
    Car Emergency Kit
    A snuggie and a netflix gift card
    Cool travel Mug with a starbucks gift card inside.
    Green Gift: Reusable water bottle, travel mug and 5 reusable shopping bags.

  • We just did a $10 gift exchange last weekend.  The lottery tickets were the most popular and got "stolen" the most number of times.  The movie theater GC and box of designer chocolates were popular, too.  Wine and bath products were least popular.   There were a number of coffee gifts, but they ended up with people who didn't drink coffee :/
  • I've been to two Christmas office parties in the past week.  Here is what went well:

    -Alcohol (wine, nice bottle of ammereto)

    -Bag w/ chocolate and lottery tickets

    -An Amyrillis - you know in a pot all you have to do is add the water

    -A set of 6 different types of teas.
