Looking For A Pickle Gift

PA Mom-mom · ‎05-27-2015

Our family has been hiding a pickle ornament on the tree for 35 years.

Old World Christmas Pickle Glass Blown Ornament

If you aren't familiar with the tradition, the pickle goes on the tree the night before Christmas morning. The person who finds it on Christmas morning, gets a special present. Well, I'm tapped out. The present should be no more than $30.00. Gift cards are frowned upon. I've given candy, holiday blankets, presidential chia pets, The Flippy Tablet Pillow, snow globes, special ornaments. You name it. I'm so out of ideas, I'm thinking about giving a case of printer paper. The problem is trying to please anyone from the age of 6 years to 40 years. Any ideas?

That is a wide range to cope with.

Maybe a mug specially printed with Pickle Prize 2020?

@Mz iMac I like the popcorn suggestion. Works for everyone!

A big book of kid jokes or a funny desk calendar. All ages like a good laugh and clean jokes work even if they're corny.

One other thought - Put the pickle where a certain age would/wouldn't be likely to find it. For example, buy an easy puzzle and put the pickle lower on the tree or higher for a more difficult puzzle. This helps with the age-range issue a bit. //wink//

@ThinkingOutLoud You would think, right? In all these years, there is no predicting who will find it. I have tried to skew it toward certain people, only to have a completely demographic find it. We are talking about a VERY competitive group.
