Thanks!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-elephant-gift-for-work#post-437961 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 14:32:28 +0000 boiledpnut 437961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually do little baskets of some sort. The most recent one was a breakfast basket with a small thing of pancake mix, a tiny thing of syrup, a coffee mug, a tiny bag of coffee (from the Dollar Spot at Target), a packet of hot chocolate and a packet of apple cider. If you want you can always include a little mini bottle of Baileys or something like that for the coffee and hot chocolate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-elephant-gift-for-work#post-437944 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 14:29:35 +0000 Mrs.Someone 437944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@WALLAROO - Definitely go in! Its my favorite :) You can spend tons of time wandering and finding random weird things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-elephant-gift-for-work#post-437930 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 14:25:22 +0000 WALLAROO 437930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone: I've driven by this store so many times but have yet to go in. Thanks for the reminder!</p> <p>I agree with the movie tickets idea. I think you can probably get them at Costco and still come under budget to throw in some popcorn or candy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-elephant-gift-for-work#post-437903 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 14:19:38 +0000 tororojo 437903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>15 $1 bills! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-elephant-gift-for-work#post-437853 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 14:07:07 +0000 MrsCastro 437853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i was walking through costco the other day and they have great little gifts for under $15 that are pre made...i got two grande size water cups starbucks brand with coffee, tea and iced coffee for less then $15...i also have a work white elephant gift exchange... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-elephant-gift-for-work#post-437835 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 14:01:15 +0000 Mrs.Someone 437835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since you're not in Seattle, this probably wont be helpful for anything other than a laugh, but its a great one! Every time I need something for a gift exchange, I go to this store: <a href="http://www.mcphee.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.mcphee.com</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-elephant-gift-for-work#post-437827 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 13:58:52 +0000 Alivoo01 437827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@futuremama: Oh! I like this idea too!!! Thanks!! Maybe I'll combine it with the coffee mug idea. </p> <p>I have feeling this will exceed $15. Such a small budget for work related!! I was expecting $25, but I won't complain about a small budget, just hard to work with! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-elephant-gift-for-work#post-437820 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 13:56:22 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 437820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like @DpeachLu's idea of movie tickets. Maybe a Christmas ornament? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-elephant-gift-for-work#post-437817 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 13:55:59 +0000 futuremama 437817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about a Netflix/redbox gift card with a box of microwave popcorn and some boxes of candy? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-elephant-gift-for-work#post-437792 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 13:47:32 +0000 Bao 437792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gift cards are always nice because they can be used for just about anyone, and that way a person gets what they want. Gourmet coffee with a nice insulated mug is always a nice gift. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-elephant-gift-for-work#post-437788 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 13:47:10 +0000 Alivoo01 437788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DpeachLu: I do like the lottery ticket and movie ticket suggestion. Maybe I can put those in a coffee mug with some coffee and those two items? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-elephant-gift-for-work#post-437785 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 13:46:15 +0000 Alivoo01 437785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: I don't think it matters. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-elephant-gift-for-work#post-437775 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 13:41:50 +0000 Bao 437775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is it supposed to be a normal gift or a gag gift? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-elephant-gift-for-work#post-437771 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 13:40:57 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 437771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How about some "fart be gone"?
