I realize that all of the prior gift suggestions have been what one might classify as "joke" gifts and we certainly don't want to give the impression that is what the Yankee Swap is all about. Many of the gifts involved are quite desirable and keep in mind that you are going to end up with a gift yourself. My strategy is always to get a gift that I wouldn't mind ending up with myself so that, worst case scenario, if you open up something crappy like a hatchet, you can always just trade for your own gift. It is quite a point of pride to be the one who gave the gift that everyone wants or the gift taken by the very last person, the one who has a choice of every gift at the party.
How about this set of beer mugs? You can get eight for $19.95 at your local Target or at Target.com on the Internet. Of course, you'd need something to put in the beer mugs, so you could just buy a bunch of booze. That's always a safe bet.
This blog is as interactive as the Yankee Swap itself, so feel free to join in the fun with your own gift ideas in the comments below.
