Office Christmas Party Gift Idea - Off Topic

so I guess a rubber chicken is out of the question????

We had a $10 cap one year - so that's what I brought and during the White Elephant exchange, it was passed around the max - everyone thought it was funny.

Maybe something like Blue Mountain Coffee --gourmet stuff.

A nice potted plant.
in a really pretty pot.

People fight over those at xmas....
we do the white elephant so its pretty fun watching everyone fight over the good ones...lol

I'll be participating in one of these office gift exchanges next Friday.
I thought about grabbing a fleece throw (blanket), attaching a good chick flick, a small packet of tissues, and a bag of microwave popcorn.
No idea how it will go over... I'm new to my group this year, but I thought it was worth a shot and would be less than $20.
If you have a lot of women in your office, this gift idea might be a hit.

BTW, to keep it under $20, I'm talking about buying from Walmart... I think their throws are about $8 and I can find a movie for about $10 or less, and a packet of tissues is less than $1, and the popcorn I have at home.

If you wanted it more masculine themed, you can buy any kind of basket or box to use to hold it, stuff it with filler (that crinkly crap), pack in a real macho movie, a bag of popcorn, a 20oz bottle of soda, and a box of theatre-sized candy.

Can you tell I've done these as Christmas gifts before??



Dangit, I typed too slowly!! :laugh: Me and ^^ had the same idea!

I gift certificate to the local movie theatre is always fun. $20 would get you two tickets; and who doesn't want to go to the movies? Or, depending on the crowd, a bottle of wine. Have fun!

great idea!!

Here we do a Secret Santa. This year Mine is a GUY!
What on EARTH do I get a GUY for Christmas.
I DO love the chick flick thing I think I will do that for one of my sisters. THAT is AWESOME!!!!

Great minds think alike.

We have Wawa's up here and gift certificate to something like that would be excellent. It is a convenience store with a gas station. Some others may have a Sheetz. This way the recipient could get gas or just spend it on coffee and a breakfast sandwich.
