Ours is the same. It is pretty fun with all the stealing and plotting.

We make a pile of the gifts, then draw numbers. #1 gets to choose a gift. #2 gets to either steal that gift, or choose another unopened box. If #2 steals, #1 opens a new gift. Then #3 can either steal from #1 or #2, or open a new gift.

The only rules are:
No stealbacks - if your gift was just stolen, you can't steal it back if you are next to choose.

No item can be stolen more than twice. After it is stolen the second time, it is "locked".

If nobody steals #1's gift, then when everything is finished, he gets to steal if he wants - even if the gift is "locked" (otherwise #1 could pick a crappy gift, and then wind up sitting there for 45 minutes doing nothing).

Don't do this game with old people or kids. They get hurt feelings too easy.

The booze is always a hot item. A couple years ago a guy filled a huge box with styrofoam popcorn and taped a restaurant gift card to the bottom. That was pretty funny to watch our accountant dig through.

Lottery tickets make a good topic for discussion. It could get ugly if one of them wins a million.

This year I bought the USB Hello Kitty desk mate with magic wand and glitter sparkles. I work for a company that is almost exclusively male. That ought to mess with some shizzle.
