Need Help!!! Office Christmas Gift
Our office Christmas Dinner is Dec. 17th. It is my job to come with a general gift that each person will receive. The requirements are that it needs to be a "family" gift & cost +/- $50 (no more than $70). The guys in my office make $80-120K a year and are not real personable. A generic Visa gift card is out of the question (per my boss). I have thought of restaurant gift cards w/ a small box of candy or something, but I don't know a restaurant that everyone eats at or their individual favorites. I have also thought of a sausage/cheese/fruit & nut basket, as I think most people munch around the holidays. So, do you have any suggestions? What has your office done in the past, that maybe was neat and everyone seemed to enjoy? I have a hard crowd to please...lol, but they are really nice to work with!

One year we got really cool snow hats and mugs (two hats, two mugs because it was a partner invited Christmas party). I liked that because it's cold where we are and snow hats are always liked.

No one is ever displeased with a Starbucks gift card.
They can use it themselves or re-gift it to someone else.

Vodka. Or possibly a wine basket, with fruit and cheeses.

A coupon for a Honey Baked Ham went over well one year I used it at Easter. So did the smoked turkey I got from another employer. AMC gift cards and a hot chocolate set with two mugs was another gift my family enjoyed. I also like the restaurant gift cards from Chill's, Applebee's, or Ruby Tueday's. Even if you have never tried a place it is a good excuse to go out. You can also get specialty certificates from places like the Omaha Steak Company or a favorite BBQ place. I know Jack Stack here in Kansas City has gift cards and online gift ordering.

A Fandango gift card is good because they can use it to purchase movie tickets to their local movie theater.

I like the idea of movie tix. Maybe you can have boxes of movie candy they can grab too.

My company gives hams from The Honeybaked Ham Co. They are around $50 each and super yummy! If most of the men in your office have families, that might be a nice gift. Good luck!
