Kris Kringle/White Elephant Ideas
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?

Re: Kris Kringle/White Elephant Ideas
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  ) and a Yeti tumbler/metal straws.

Re: Kris Kringle/White Elephant Ideas
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?
