I hate these types of things so I need some input from the bees! My small satellite office is having a gift grab on Monday -- there are 6 women in the office. Gifts are supposed to be between $15-20 and the organizer said to get "creative." I'm terrible at this type of thing and would appreciate any suggestions!

I just hit a corner at Target of "As Seen On TV" things. I loved the device that allows one to reach things. Stuff on a high cabinet, betwen the washer and dryer, change a hi-hat light.
-
Pedicure in a bag: nail polish, nail file, pumice stone, thing that separate your toes, etc
-
As Seen On TV things are the best. We ended up buying a $20 novelty box of chocolates to give away this year.

I wrapped up scratcher lotto tickets this year. I wanted to see if the group decided they need to be scratched before or after stealing. They weren't scratched until the "stealing" was over and the recipient won (slightly) more than our gift limit.
-
I agree that lotto tickets are always fun! I am always happy to get gift cards, as un-creative as they are - who doesn't love starbucks or sephora cards?

The most popular thing last time my work did this was a jar of local honey
-
the most unpopular was socks
-
You can't go wrong with wine or alcohol either but it's not very creative...
-
@cmomma17: I would love something local like honey or in ky case real KeyLime Pie. Ooooh a play on socks could be the spray on pantyhose sold at the drugstore.
@psw27: Staaaarbucks! Love it
-
@cmomma17: Socks?! Really????
-
What about a pretty winter scarf? Something in gray/red/black that goes with just about any coat color?
-
@Alivoo01: lol, yes! And not just any socks, but toe socks! They went to the highest person in our division, our VP, she was not amused!
-
I really like the idea of scratcher tickets! When I don't know what to get someone I try to get an interesting coffee table book. Something like one of the Post Secret books or the new Humans of New York book!
-
@cmomma17: LMFAO!!!! Major face palm to whomever thought it was a great gift....
-
I love these kind of things. Organizing a party or small gathering at the office helps me relax and we have a lot of fun. On the gift part, the usual ones I have seen are books, photo frames or paintings. And go for those too, on innovative ideas, why don't you purchase them a mobile game or something, or a paid app maybe. Just crossed my mind these things.
