Yankee gift swap-funny gift ideas needed.

At work we are doing a yankee gift swap. What are some funny/creative gift ideas?? I don't want it to be too shocking, but still a gift that people 'want' to swap for. Our budget is $20.

    Beer always get stolen at our gag gift exchange - I saw someone decorated the bottles in the 6 pack as reindeer, that was cute.

    Alcohol is always popular at ours. Chocolate or holiday candles do pretty well. Tervis tumbler full of candy was a hit one year.

    ETA opps, sorry, none of these were gag gifts. I hate those type of gift swaps.

    People always seem to like lottery tickets.

    I don't think it has to be a gag gift.. When I've done this in the past half the group will bring pointless but funny gifts and then other people will bring gifts that are actually pretty decent. I guess I would rather have something steal worthy.

    craft beer goes over big. some of the names are pretty funny as well....mad elf is a darn good one (in name and content). If you don't want to do booze, i would go for really good chocolate or something along the indulgent line.

    For ours this year, I'm making a bag with a bottle of wine, some chocolate and the book "50 Shades of Grey".  :)

    This is funny!

     At our (non-work) Christmas party we do a very funny yankee swap. It gets pretty rowdy- there are sex store gift cards, gross booze (e.g. cinnamen flavored beer or local bosenberry wine), ridiculous Christmas decor (e.g. this year I'm regifting a framed cross-stitched scene of Santa Claus praying over Baby Jesus). There's a singing wind--up pig that gets passed year to year.

    Just don't make your gift too "nice"- one year we almost went to blows because someone offered up this beautiful antique silver bar set..

    One year I did a "date box" : a gift card to the movies and I threw in some candy.   That gift got stolen quite a bit.   This year, I bought some really cute appetizer plates from Crate & Barrel.

    50 Shades of Grey is a funny idea. Everyone that will be at the party has probably already read it!! lol.
