So I got to get a work Christmas present for a gift exchange, looking for ideas.

Something that is fun, sure to please, anyone.....? Fun being the more important thing.

Price limit $25.00.

I thought of gift certificates but that isn't very fun.

My wife does this every year and she usually gets some fancy bottle of booze, but most people don't drink around here. I suck at presents.

Any ideas are appreciated.

i like buying board games for exchanges like that - catch phrase is a good one.

May I suggest you not get what I got from my former co-workers (we still get together every year for a gift exchange):

And, no, it doesn't vibrate.

These are awesome ideas, thank you so much. I just lack so much confidence in buying gifts, I am always worried if people will like it or if I got the right thing, it is a little bit of a complex.

This really helps.

This year, I gave out those inexpensive San Disk mp3 players. You can pick them up for 20-30 bucks at most places.

I also gave, to a single friend, same inexpensive pod loaded with porn instructional videos

people with significant others also watch porn.  way to discriminate there, buddy.  this is change we need.

Well I went with the sushi set idea with a tube of wassabi for one gift.

For the other I bought a bunch of tea, some candles, and made a almond mochoccino mix.

I think they will be winners.

Thanks

See?! Way to be creative! Good job. People will love them.

Now if only we can get rid of stupid office exchanges and have everyone donate to a charity/cause in the other person's name instead... *sigh*
