I have heard movie tickets on a post couple of days ago. and that works for both guys and girls!

Alcohol is always a winner for us. We'll be getting a few small bottles to give away as gifts for the men.

This is probably a regional thing but where I'm from, it's customary for the game winners to give their prize(s) to the guest of honor. No one I know goes to a shower (bridal or baby) expecting to win a prize. The idea is to shower the guest of honor with the gifts. In the case of a baby shower the gifts would be something for the baby - receiving blankets, rattles, diapers, etc.

Candy is never a bad idea and it works for both men and women!

a non-gender specific gift could be chocolates (like a bag of Lindts), or Dunkin Donuts gift cards (like $5),

Lotto tickets & movie gift cards are great!

Beer cozies, travel coffee mugs or travel water bottles.

Well yea...every baby shower i've ever been to people obviously bring gifts for mom to be, but also win little gifts when they win a game.

I hear what you're saying but where I live the gift games go to the mom and baby too. Just offering a different (perhaps regional) perspecitve...

The few showers I've been to with games all have had pretty gender neutral gfits (like candy or gift cards)

How about one of those brew your own beer kits? You can pretty much find them at any liquor store.

At at gift exchange around Christmas, the guys were fighting over this $5 can of zipties that you can get in the automotive section. They were pumped! Anything car, food or booze related is always a big hit.
