Cheap X-mas Gifts For Co-Workers
Looking for idea for around $20.... Preferably non-alcohol related. Funny is good, but nothing too perverted (it is like secret Santa thing though).

The last Secret Santa thing I did (where you could steal gifts), that was the most coveted item by far.

Get some lottery scratch tickets. It could be the gift that keeps giving.

Aeropress. Especially if it's an office setting.

Last time I did one, it was also the one where you could steal gifts, and my gift of a couple Cuban cigars was the most popular too. I don't smoke, and it was given to me by as a gift initially, so it cost me nothing.

I hate these things.... dumb and funny gifts... Get something that wont go in the trash, or will never be used. Hell $20 grocery card, coffee card, etc. Get something local, something useful.
These gift exchanges are always the biggest waste of time and money, because everyone tries to be funny, and everything eventually goes to the dump.

For guys or unisex?
For guys, grab a few Gerber Shards. Those are cool and many people will always find a use for them.
http://www.amazon.ca/Gerber-22-01769.../dp/B002ZK45IQ
The credit card steel is a great one as well
http://www.amazon.ca/Multi-Emergency...ref=pd_cp_hi_3
Buy a few, add a pocket LED flashlight if you have to meet the $20 limit for the gift or free shipping at $25, should be ok for several gifts/something for yourself. There may be other similar items to browse you can grab on Amazon as well. Might be cheaper black Friday/cyber Monday, not sure.
For women? I have no bloody idea.

Yes Costco has a lot of great gifts around that 20 dollar mark. I get all of my gift exchange presents there each year. Just walk the middle isles and you will find something. Last year I found a great decanter there and it was the most popular at both secret Santa party's I was at.

rechargeable battery for devices. Here is one from memory express. My kids use theirs all of the time because they drain their phones. You can get cheaper of course. I think Costco sells a 2 pack for pretty much the same price as this one.

3pk for 29.99.
Although I have a PowerPond from MEC (Same price for only one) and it does a much better job. Seems to be compatible with more devices.
Awesome little devices though. I take one everywhere.

The Tim Hortons coffee basket is great for co-workers...especially office gift exchanges...because most drink coffee and it already coms pre-packed and in different sizes too.
Also really good for re-gifting should they not like coffee. Depeding on the size...it ranges from $7.99 to $19.99 i think.
