Adult coloring book & colored pencils. (I didn't swipe it from my sister and she hasn't used it yet)

This year I bought the Cubs World Series throw from QVC & a sticker that says "I was a Cubs Fan before it was cool" from Amazon.

We have to go to Binny's for the beer.

I love Tervis tumblers. I wouldn't want the coffee mug style though. A gift card for a manicure or pedicure would be way out of the price range of the exchange.

I think the Tervis would make a great gift.

What about a $25 Visa gift card?

I have to agree that I wouldnt care for this. How about a manicure or pedicure gift card for a lady.
I would receive several of these each holiday and would give them away (not as re-gift).

I have no interest in a manacure or pedicure. BUT HOW ABOUT A BOX OF CHOCOLATES? I think that would be about as safe as you can get! LOL!!!

How about a fruit basket, a nice box of chocolates or gourmet popcorn? A gift basket full of treats? A basket with hand lotion, slipper socks and a nice candle? Mugs with gourmet hot chocolate mix ( Williams Sonoma) also they have great peppermint bark. Beautiful new tea towels or hand towels, Postage stamps and a new pen.

I prefer to give and receive something that can be consumed or used. I have too much stuff and hate to donate a gift that I will never use.

Our Family has done gift exchanges before-- I think it's easier if you try to find a theme, then find whole bunch of small gifts to put in it. Here are some suggestions:

A Movie theme gift bag/basket--gourmet popcorn with movie tickets or DVDs.

A Pamperd themed gift bag/basket-- Nice body butter and shower gels. (Soap and Glory has some nice ones for around $20 at Walgreens)

A Kitchen themed gift bag/baskets-- nice kitchen towels (everyone needs some new kitchen towels) with little kitchen gadget or specialty jams and jellies.

Have fun with it!

I admit up front I'm not much into this kind of thing, so don't hold my lack of creativity against me, or if that's your thing go ahead.

How about a Preloaded Master or Visa card in the set amount?

I would be okay with it, but I would rather pick out the type of insulated cup or mug that I use myself.

I am with @QVCkitty1, I think socks make great gifts. They make some really cute designs in the cozy socks that are fun.

I would suggest a flameless candle, some kind of cozy wrap (like the Angel Wrap HSN sells), a nice throw, or shower gel/body lotion. Bath & Body Works will accept exchanges for their products if they don't like the scent.

Just as an aside, these exchanges drive me nuts. I don't feel comfortable giving "generic" gifts but if I have to, I try to give something I like or use already. Hope this helps.

@mima on the net....look for a product called key smart, my DH loves his and I am thinking about one for my excess keys. There are several sites, but the basic model is around $20.00. Let me know if you look it up and what you think.
