How about a nice bottle of wine. They don't cost that much either. It would be around $15-20 but it could be cheaper or more expensive depending on you.
Hope this helps!!

Re: OFFICE SECRET SANTA...help!!!

bed bath & beyond has lots of 'secret santa' gifts that would fit just about anybody. things like a cute shot chiller set....or drink mixing sets....corkscrew kits...wine chillers.

with adults you can't really go wrong with some type of adult beverage or additives/accessories for adult beverages.

if you don't want to go that route, what about something like those homedics back massage pads? just a few options for ya! HTH

Our office secret santa has a $15 MAX. I am giving a night at the movies (Blockbuster GC, microwave popcorn, and bottle of sparkling cider in a basket).

good idea! even a gift certificate to a movie theatre would work as well. who doesnt like a free movie these days when it is so expensive these days?

Re: OFFICE SECRET SANTA...help!!!

When I saw this I had to post...

Last Tuesday I did the best grab bag gift for $15! Well, it must have been b/c we did a Yankee swap among 15 people on my team at work and mine was the only "stolen" gift that everyone was after...

Ready - A gift certificate for $15 to Starbucks!

I thought of it last minute and had no idea how it would go over, but everyone wanted it! They also have little gift items that fall into the $10 to $20 budget.

Other things my co-workers did -

-An assortment of fancy teas (dont remember from where)
-A beautiful picture frame with album inside (that's what I picked) from Bombay
-Sample size items in a nice basket from Bath and Body
-A bottle of wine
-An assortment of nice jelly's and jams
-A gift certificate to FYI (music and DVD's so you can do Best Buy too)

I can't remember the others, but we had a lot of laughs!
