Both hubs and I have company holiday parties today with a secret gift exchange where you can steal gifts. I picked up Star Wars salt & pepper shakers. Would you "steal" it?
For the record he asked me to get wine for his. I doubt he'll even remember our wrapping paper to notice what I bought.
What was the best office exchange gift you received?

Fun! I definitely think people will steal for it! I got a pizza stone for our Yankee Swap (Last year I brought in a faux fur blanket and everyone was stealing it from each other).
I can't think of a best gift I've gotten (and was able to keep lol). I think a gift certificate for this wine place near our office was up there tho!

Nope. If I got that, it would go directly to Goodwill. But I am not a Star Wars fan.
I have never gotten anything good that I can remember.

It could be stolen by any Star Wars fans or anyone who knows someone who would like it.
My work one was yesterday - I thought we'd do the steal game but instead we passed gifts left or right depending on the remake of the 'twas the night before Christmas my coworker put together and we got what was in front of us in the end. Wine was the most popular gift followed by gift cards. I ended up with a cookbook.

@autumnleaves: we did that one this year, as well. It was fun but no where near as fun as the stealing game. 
@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I wouldn't steal that but I bet some serious Star Wars geeks would!

Nope.
the lava lamp was a HUGE hit last year. Something you can keep at your desk, I suppose

I personally wouldn't, but I know people who would.
Things like wine, lottery tickets, gift cards and comfy throw blankets are popular.

I think there should be a couple Star Wars fans in the two groups. The department party I'm crashing is our Actuarial, Product and Finance teams. SciFi kinda people right? 
The gift is definitely 2 parts gag to 1 part practical.

DH just informed me that someone stole the salt & pepper shakers! 
His group basically swapped wine and restaurant GC. He picked a Tupperware set, but it was stolen.

Fun. I would steal it for the DH, if there was nothing else better.
In the past, I've purchased a recently released movie, teddy bear and gift card and they've always been stolen.

My gift was picked third to last after the picker'so other really good gift was stolen. One of the guys sought her out to trade. I think he picked candles. They're now both happy.
