    So tonight is my Office Christmas party. An attraction in the party is gift exchange game (some call it The Chinese Christmas). Everyone in the party brings a wrapped gift (< $25 in value) and places it under Christmas tree. Based on a number selected from a bowl, people take turns to pick a gift. A person can either select an unwrapped gift from under the tree or he can select a gift which someone else (whose turn was before him) had already picked. The game is pretty fun as sometimes a gift changes lot of hands. Either way this year I am out of ideas on what to buy. Ideally it needs to be something which people will fight for. Any suggestions? FYI: I have seen Hans's gift post.

      How about a "Free Get-out-of-a-DUI" card from the local PD? :-D

        You're right. These facts that you've laid out totally contradict the wild ramblings that I pulled off the back of cornflakes packets.

              When I worked in San Diego, we were playing the same game. There was a "special" gift - a plastic monkey that would sing Macarena[^] when one hit it on the head. Whoever ended up with this monkey was a "loser" and would bring it back next year to get rid of it. Just an idea :)

                    The gift exchanges I've gone to always feature as one of the most popular items a nice bottle of red wine.

                        If the gift is in the shape of a bottle, it won't be regifted, and it will be the first one taken.

                                      So tonight is my Office Christmas party. An attraction in the party is gift exchange game (some call it The Chinese Christmas). Everyone in the party brings a wrapped gift (< $25 in value) and places it under Christmas tree. Based on a number selected from a bowl, people take turns to pick a gift. A person can either select an unwrapped gift from under the tree or he can select a gift which someone else (whose turn was before him) had already picked. The game is pretty fun as sometimes a gift changes lot of hands. Either way this year I am out of ideas on what to buy. Ideally it needs to be something which people will fight for. Any suggestions? FYI: I have seen Hans's gift post.
