Dirty Santa gift ideas for office gift?
This year my office is doing a Dirty Santa instead of a regular Secret Santa.
Average gift price should be $25.
What would be something good to get? I'm guessing we can do something funny or just something cool. Usually I pick the name of a person and shop for that specific person's likes, so this is different for me.
FYI, they said no gift cards to make it more fun.
ETA: Dirty Santa is basically where everyone buys a generic gift and everyone takes turns either picking a gift from the table OR "stealing" a previously opened gift.

We do this at my office.
I've gotten a coffee mug filled with $25 in scratch offs, which was cool.

It's not dirty at all. It's like Secret Santa except the gifts are more generic and you make a game out of trading or stealing someone else's gifts. It sounds cool. Here's a link to the rules.
ETA: Electronic Catch Phrase is a cool gift. Maybe a cheap portable MP3 speaker?

 I figured it wasn't since it was for work, but I was afraid of what a Google search for those 2 words would bring up! 
I have heard of this, but called something else. I think gadgety things would be good for this.

We're doing this at my job but it's being called a "Yankee Swap" - maybe that's the name that you heard of?
To answer the original question, I really stink at these things & have no ideas. Sorry

They were talking about "Yankee Swap" on the Chew.
If you Google it, make sure you spell it "Santa" and not "Sanchez"...

I don't know about your office politics, but I'd bring a bottle of booze!

LOL! I'm sure some people would get a kick out of that, but I def don't need to be remembered as the one who brought a dirty gift to the holiday party!
Oh and I am NOT googling dirty sanchez from work... sounds bad.
