White Elephant Gift?

Hello all,

The family is doing a white elephant/steal the gift type of thing. Cost is $20, must be gender neutral and the age range is 18-80. Apparently gift cards a frowned upon and I don't like the idea of a movie/popcorn theme (I expect to see  A LOT of those).  Ideas?

 

Thanks!

    I was thinking alcohol, but I want to make sure all the particpants are of legal age. I'm trying to stay away from candles and lotions for the allergy prone.

    Yeah, bummer for the gift cards - that's what I'd go for!

    ETA: There may just be a travel mug AND a gift card or picture frame and gift card...

    Its more fun to do some of the narrower like alcohol and the lotions, b/c some peole are super greedy about those, even though other people dont' really go for that stuff, you know?

  • Can it be a fun gift too? At my x-mas party last year someone packed up a Costco sized box of Toilet paper. It was a great laugh and hey, everyone needs toilet paper!

  • @ Kathryn - good point.

    @ Jennie - Great idea. Everyone does need TP. A gag gift like that would be great.
