White elephant gift for my office party, $20 limit
I am drawing a blank

[readyin07]

Do people do funny or serious? More families or single people?

A marshmallow shooter was popular at my husband’s. Or those cotton snowballs you can play with indoors. Fancy cleaning products. Bottle of Baileys.

alcohol would probably go over well. Mix of singles and families, last year it was mostly serious

A S’ip by S’well bottle is about $20 and comes in a ton of designs. My husband’s taking one for his work white elephant. It keeps drinks cold for 24 hrs or hot for $
12 so it seemed good for the office.

If it’s serious people, then booze or chocolate, maybe a yeti-style cup with a gift card inside.

Packing cubes! I bought a set on Amazon for less than $20 and they’re so useful as I pack for an 11 day trip.

If it’s the kind where people can swap gifts after opening, I would get the mini body butter trio that Trader Joe’s has this season, and either their face mask trio or shower gel trio. I think they’re $8 each so you can add in a shower pouf or candy or something.

If it’s not the kind where people can swap, it’s probably best to stick with booze or food. I would probably just go browse World Market or Trader Joe’s. I swear I don’t work for TJ lol, they just have good cheap food and alcohol gifts.

For a fun / funny suggestion, I got my nephew Stretch Armstrong for his birthday this year and the adults couldn’t stop playing with it. And there are mini versions if you want to pair it with something else. Target and Amazon both had it when I bought it in October.

Wrap a $20 around a banana.

[sandandsea]

The things most stolen in ours last year were:
Board games
Small camelback
Crock pot
And a really soft blanket

[celeste]

I just bought a 16 oz widemouth Hydro Flask with a flip lid (for coffee) for mine. They were on sale at REI for $18. I’ll probably put a small Starbucks gift card with it.

[jinkies]

$20 worth of scratch offs.

[tripleshot]

I got a Dilbert 365 daily calendar for mine. DH got a coffee mug that says “World’s Okayest Employee.”

My office has a $15 limit, I put $15 one dollar bills taped underneath a (new) plunger and wrapped it so you can tell it’s a plunger.

Or booze accessories - whiskey rocks, martini set, steel pint glasses, etc.

Lots of great ideas in here! It makes me wish my office was doing one - lol.

Amazon has a section

We just did ours and there was some fun stuff.

I brought a Starbucks gift card. Not particularly exciting, but it got stolen a few times.

Someone brought this weird fish statue thing that got stolen several times. I have a feeling that's going to become the new thing that gets passed around every year.

I think my favorite was a bottle of wine, but it was in this wooden puzzle thing that you had to figure out how to take apart to get to the wine. Interesting and you get alcohol at the end.

I walked away with a 5lb bottle of raw honey. Apparently a coworker's family owns a bee "farm" (I have no idea what it's actually called) in Montana. I am stoked about it. That's like $40 worth of honey!

Lottery ticket scratchers... it’s fun to see what the winner winds up with they finally get to scratch them off.

Last year my husband got a cocktail mixer and how to book for different drinks. He said it was fought over a lot. This year he did a party bucket filled it with a few cocktail mixes from Target with shot glasses and beverage glasses. His party is Monday so we will see how well it goes over.
