We are doing one this year with my cousins. $25 gifts. I have some ideas but was looking to see if there are any better ones out there.

Is this the one where the gift has to be something outlandish?

So gifts worth up to $25, that can appeal to anyone - gender neutral?

-$25 gift cards
-$25 in scratch off/lotto cards
-2 bottles of wine (maybe 1 red & 1 white)
-a blanket
-chocolate basket
-a yeti water bottle or mug or tumbler
-anker portable cell phone charger (works with any phone)
-tile bluetooth tracker (goes on your keys, so you can always find them)
-a wafflemaker

I find the most random things people like or want:

Bottle of wine and throw blanket
Box of mystery beers
Amazon gift card
Candles
Flask and shot glass
Stemless wine glass set of 4
Amazon companion devices (if this crowd has echo dot etc) - ex. Echo buttons
Fire TV stick - currently on sale for Amazon prime
Home stuff - sheet set, towel set, utensil set, last year people were fighting over a grill set.
Automatic Wine opener
Board games
Small Steamer for clothes
Make up brush set
Men’s shaving / travel kit
Comfy slippers
Water bottle / travel mug - thermos

These are great, I've done several of these (craft beers, liquor, insulated travel mug for coffee, slippers). Last year we did a wall mounted bottle opener and beer.

ETA: Another person did a funny cookbook (50 Shades of Chicken), a fun waffle iron, Catch Phrase Uncensored or What do You Meme... trying to think of some other popular ones. Another friend did a Christmas ornament with a photo of the group exchanging- I got that one, I love it! Adult coloring books and colored pencils.

ETAA: I just bought the gifts for my exchange this year for me and DH and I got a bidet that attaches to your toilet (because they do like ridiculous gifts Chat Icon) and a Yeti tumbler/metal straws.

Go on Groupon Goods! I always see fun random things I want on there. Like a heated car blanket and other random things. What about a Yeti to-go mug?

Thanks for the ideas!

I had gotten one gift over the weekend - stainless steel wine tumblers and a bottle of wine but was looking for ideas for the other one (from DH).

Think I’m going to do a Yeti mug and DD giftcard - Dicks has 25% off this weekend.

I took a recommendation from this site last year for the Echo dot and it was a hit! This year I was going to do the portable S’mores set on Amazon but I can’t make the date.

Do you need a coupon for the yeti? Or will it just be 25% off this weekend?
