Need ideas for $10 gift

[eeyore81]

We are doing a family gift exchange. The limit is $10. The group ranges in age from 15 to 60. There is not a theme or anything like that, just a $10 gift. I have no idea what to get. Any suggestions?

Can the gift be traded after unwrapping or does it need to be gender nuetral?

-You could do one of the stocking stuffer type gifts that Target and JCP sell like flashlights, 1st aid kits, book lights, grooming kits, etc
-Coffee/Cocoa and mugs
-Movie and a bag/box of popcorn
-Boardgame(s)
-both wii and xbox occassionally have cheap games, you might look at the clearance/sale rack
-gift card; Subway, McD, Coldstone, Starbucks
-Movie pass(es)

I tried to keep all the cousin's gift exchange to $10 a piece. Most of the teenagers I went to aerostople and was able to buy something for $10 each. hit the jackpot today and found some nice zipper jackets for $10. The girls are going to love them. The boys I bought shirts for.

I received a $10 gift card today for our local movie theater. It was a good idea since I have two small children. This at least helps with a little of the expense.

dd had to bring a dirty santa gift to her work party so we bought a gift card to starbucks. Figure her gift will be the most wanted gift there.

We will also be doing a $10 gift exchange next week, and the age range is 14 to 73. This includes 5 "kids" ranging from 14-20, 6 aduts - late 40's and my parents rounding put the group.

We will be getting 1 - $10 I-tunes gift card. We also have to get 2 other gifts too, since there are 3 of us in the group - so I am going to be keeping an eye on this thread!

Do you have a Red Robin restaurant in your city? When you buy a $20 gift card, you get a free $10 movie gift card. Keep the Red Robin card for yourself and give the movie card for your gift. Then it costs you nothing.

We're bringing a ladies pocket knife/multi-tool and a shower radio. Gift cards would take the fun out of it for me. JMHO

One of the little charms from Brighton is around $9, they wrap it beautifully too. I got the peace charm and also the square heart charm that says "you only live once". Both are the drop style so you don't need a bracelet can be worn as a pendant on any chain really.

To each his own, I love gift cards. I'd hate those gifts though!

Bath and Body works have their 3 wick pillar candles on sale 2 for 20- they are nice.
At the dollar store you could put together a nice "gift packing" gift- nice paper, bows to match, gift bags, cards, tissue paper if you did it for birthdays it would be a nice gift

I got an amaryllis bulb kit in a nice pot at Target for $7 - giving that to my DD's piano teacher along with some cash for Christmas.

We did secret santa at work and the limit was $20. I got little gifts (chocolate, mug, hot chocolate etc) for a few days and then a $15 borders card. $10 at border's would buy a nice paperback.

Do you have a Rite-Aid or a Christmas Tree Shop near you? Each has a version of the Snuggie, but for less than the limit.

20 Questions -- It is a small handheld game that sells for under $10. You think of an item (the girls on the hockey team thought of "tampon"), the game will ask you questions that you answer. Is it a animal?? etc. It asks you twenty questions trying to figure out what you are thinking. Then it will take a guess....And dang if it didn't figure out tampon!!

I have bought this for a ton of people age 6 to 80 and everyone has enjoyed it!!!! I would say 98% of the time it can figure it out. It is wild.

If you look for it, it is shaped like a ball - no bigger than a tennis ball and is stocked with the little handheld games. Amazon has it for $7.99 - but a little late for that. It is listed as 20Q if you want to view it.
