This year we threw a Chinese / White Elephant gift exchange with friends.  The spending limit was $15 and it turned out to be a lot of fun! Tim luckily picked the very last number and I picked the 2nd to last number - I swear it was not rigged!.  He ended up stealing some Stumptown coffee & a coffee mug and I stole 15 lottery tickets, which won me $27!

Here's some more examples of the gifts in case you need to throw a gift together last minute (like we all did):

-miniature colander, pasta, & some spices

-disposable flasks (on sale now!)

-snow hat

-plaid scarf

-a bottle of wine

-olive oil & balsamic vinegar

-soaps

-a Playboy (lol this was the most hated gift)
