Family Christmas Present Exchange (FCPE)

So since there's so many people in my generation in the family (brothers, sisters, cousins)... far too many to get everyone Christmas presents... we've traditionally always picked names to determine who we got a present for, and anything else was above and beyond the call of duty. So last year we started a new game where we didn't pick names, but each just got one present that we put "in the pot" so to speak. Kind of like a White Elephant gift exchange. Except you have the option of picking a new present from the pile or "stealing" one from someone else who went before you. Not really in the Christmas spirit exactly, but pretty fun.

At any rate, I'm determined to get a cool present worthy of being stolen during the present exchange, but need some inspiration. It's particularly difficult because I don't know what age, sex, interests, etc. to aim for. We're talking about gifts for an age range of anywhere between 19-32. Price range about $30. Any suggestions?

I'm sure you have a cousin who would really appreciate a new TV.

How about you just give them 30 Schrute bucks. It's a win-win.

my moms side of the family does this too, only problem is there are always a couple of people who think it is HILARIOUS to get crappy gifts. Kind of a bummer when all the other ones are so nice and you get stuck with the nose hair trimmer...

anyway, to be helpful, the always popular gifts are:
money, gift certificates, dvds, awesome tools, wine/alcohol, nice stemware, board games, etc.
