Yankee Swap – Ideas for easy, original and fun gifts between $15-30
Yankee Swap – What It Is
Every year our family does a “Yankee Swap” gift exchange for our holiday party. For those of you who haven’t heard of a “Yankee Swap” (also sometimes called “White Elephant”), there are a few different variations of how it can work, but essentially everybody purchases a gift within a specified price range (typically -30). When you are ready to start the exchange, all of the wrapped gifts are placed in the center of the room. Everybody then picks a number out of a hat, bowl or bag. The person who chooses #1 will choose a gift from the pile, and will open it in plain view of everybody. After person #1 has opened their gift, person #2 picks a wrapped gift. They can then choose to keep that gift or take the gift that person #1 has opened. After person #2 has finished, person #3 then takes a wrapped gift, and can choose to keep the gift or take a wrapped gift from person #1 or #2. This continues until all of the gifts have been distributed. At the end, person #1 (the lucky number), then gets to make a final decision to keep his/her gift or to take somebody else’s gift. The swap then ends.
What to bring: As you can probably imagine, it is ideal to bring a gift that is desireable, useful and funny. This can sometimes be difficult when working within a small budget of -30. We usually end up running around making a “last minute” purchase for the Yankee Swap, which can be stressful. For those of you needing some help, here are some ideas:
1. Tool Bucket Organizer: This is probably my favorite gift that we purchased. It is a 5 gallon bucket with a tool belt organizer. Bucket Boss makes a wide variety of these organizers, and they range in price from -50, depending on how fancy you want the organizer. You will just need to purchase a 5 gallon bucket and the organizer, and if you have extra money to spend, you can also purchase tools for the bucket (or a gift card for your local home improvement store). You can find a bunch of the tool organizers at the following website: http://www.constructiongear.com/bucket-boss-bucket-tool-organizers.html
2. Gift Cards w/a funny gift attached: The advantage of giving a gift card is that it is easy, but the disadvantages are (1) it is somewhat boring and (2) it is lightweight and small, and therefore needs to be wrapped in a manner that makes it look desireable for somebody to choose from the pile. In order to make it less boring, you should also include an inexpensive and funny novelty or gag gift. You can find a bunch on http://www.prankplace.com or http://www.stupid.com. In order to make the packaging look more appealing, you can put it in a larger box/bag with weights. We have purchased gift cards for gas stations, liquor stores, home improvement stores and restaurants. I once included a “flying monkey” toy that was purchased from “Bed, Bath and Beyond,” which provided hours of entertainment during the remainder of the holiday party.
3. Wine/Liquor: You can never go wrong with wine/alcohol, but the problem of giving this gift is that it seems like EVERYBODY brings wine or a bottle of liquor because it is easy. If you are going to purchase wine or liquor for the exchange, I would recommend making the gift unique by attaching something special such as wine glasses, a flask, bottle opener, etc.
4. Gift Basket: This takes some work, but can be a great gift. To make it more simple, I would recommend creating a “gift bag” from your local natural and organic grocery store such as Whole Foods or Trader Joes. You can simply buy a reuseable grocery bag for .00, and then fill it up with delicious gourmet treats such as dry pastas, sauces and desserts.
5. Three Wolf Moon T-Shirt: For anybody looking to purchase the most popular t-shirt sold on amazon.com (which has become a sensation, and was recently worn by Dwight Schrute during the Wedding episode of “The Office”), I would highly recommend purchasing the “Three Wolf Moon T-Shirt” made by The Mountain. In fact, this is what I am planning to purchase this year as my Yankee Swap gift (I am going to buy an x-large — which should fit most of the crowd). Here is the link for the t-shirt on amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/Mountain-Mens-Three-Short-Sleeve/dp/B002HJ377A/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
6. Coffee Lovers Delight: Most coffee lovers enjoy Starbucks coffee, so you can make an easy “coffee package” by purchasing a gift certificate for Starbucks, and then including mug(s) and a bag of coffee.
7. Fruitcake: This is a gift that can be passed along for generations, and regifted at many following Yankee Swaps. You just might want to include a more “serious” gift (such as a gift card or something else).
8. Kitchen Items: An assortment of small kitchen items (such as vegetable peelers, knives, measuring cups, etc.) can make a great gift. To wrap them, try using a nice looking dish towel.
Finally, on one last note, you might consider having a nontraditional Yankee Swap this year. Rather than spending -30, you can have a “junk swap” by swapping an item from your house that you want to get rid of (foot soaker, old salad spinner, awful lamp). You can then take the money you were going to spend, and have everybody provide a -30 check to be donated to a local community organization. The “payee” line on the checks can be left blank, and the organization can be chosen during the party by having everybody’s name put into a hat, and the person whose name is drawn can choose the organization.

Themed Gift Baskets
There are many reasons to give gift baskets: new neighbors and you want to welcome them, someone is having a garden party, someone gave you a gift and you feel you should give a gift in return or your reason could even be because you need a cheap yet thoughtful gift during these economically trying times. Whatever your reason is for giving gift baskets you don’t have to give the conventional or traditional gift basket ideas but rather you can personalize each gift basket so every recipient feels the time and thought you put into their gift basket.
Kids and Teenager Themed Gift Baskets
If you’re giving gift baskets to kids then you have an unlimited amount of ideas you could do for their gift. Many kids associate gift baskets with the Easter baskets they get so they’ll love any surprise that comes in a basket. For little boys fill up a gift basket with boy toys like cars, dinosaurs, sports balls, etc. A pleased look will grace his face each time he pulls out a new toy. Little girls are really simple, too. Carefully place in a doll or two with some extra clothes and a little girl has years of entertainment. Throw in a tea set as well and your little girl gift basket will be complete.
For teenage boys little car toys aren’t going to fit the bill exactly. Depending on what the teenager likes will depend on what your gift basket contains. For the athletic boys include real athletic gear (or even a gift certificate to a sports shop) with sports balls. Teenage boys also like car or airplane models which fit perfectly within a small gift basket. There are some really cheap models that will help those teenage boys get started in a model building hobby. Teenage girls are even simpler than little girls because most all teenage girls are thinking about one thing: makeup. Fill a gift basket with lip balms, nail polish, some neutral colored blush and eye shadow and you’ll make any teenage girl’s day.
Adult Themed Gift Baskets
Adults can be a little trickier when it comes to finding the perfect gift basket because toys aren’t usually acceptable from one adult to the other. Themed gift baskets filled with sumptuous hot drinks that your adult friend or family member will enjoy. For women a bath gift basket is always loved and appreciated. For men sports themed gift baskets are still always appreciated. Though rather than trying to fit all sports in fill a gift basket with items related to his favorite sport.
Everybody loves gift baskets because they usually mean more than one surprise that’s more thoughtful than prewrapped chocolates you can get at the store. Gift baskets are far cheaper than many of the other gift ideas out there so if you’re looking for something to fit your budget these serve that purpose, too. Get creative with your gift baskets and your recipients will appreciate each gift.

Valentine Gifts For Her
Why not give your wife a Personalized Book Voucher. What are Personalized Books? Imagine both of you starring in a novel this Valentines Day. As a couple, the personalized book will whisk you away to the romance capital of Paris in France or even Amsterdam, or on a wild Safari, and across various exotic locations for a steamy romantic adventure.
When shopping for your wife on occasions such as Valentines Day, why not consider getting her something unique. By letting her be the star in her own personalized romance novel, you will not only get points for being original, but will likely enjoy the benefits of her appreciation as well.
She can choose to play the lead role in any adventure with you as her lover in a tale that will whisk the two of you away to a remote place where for example, a killer is on the loose, and envy, power, and lust will collide.
Many soldiers in the armed forces whom left for Afghanistan have wives back home who became obviously worried in times of communication breakdowns. It became important to keep connected to their hubbies no matter the distance in-between them. Anything from sending photos, letters and memorabilia always works. Then many wives came cross the personalized novels and one commented,
In your wife’s own personalized book, she can have the two of you travelling various Italian cities while trying to rekindle your love for one another. She can also have you play the roles of secret agents, or enjoying a sensual weekend in the French Riviera.

How to Choose a Perfect Birthday Gift
Birthday is certainly one of the important days of everyone’s lives and very rarely anyone would be not happy on that day. You can add to the joys of a person by presenting to him/her birthday gifts that they will cherish forever. But choosing a perfect birthday gift is not easy. You really need to know the person in order to give a perfect birthday gift.
Try to get some idea about them such as: Are they married? Do they have children or pets? What are their hobbies or interests? Once you know about the person and what actually he/she likes, you can then start planning about the gift. Some of the important things you should consider while choosing a birthday gift are:
Whether you are gifting your mother, father, wife, husband, sister, brother or friend, whoever it is, the gift should be unique. Unique gifts show that you have made an extra effort to present the person with one-of-a-kind gift. It shows your love and affection. The person may be dissatisfied if you could not find any unique gifts even if you have spent hours trying to find the right birthday present.
One of the best parts of a birthday celebration is birthday surprise. In fact, it makes the birthday party livelier. The birthday surprise not only makes the person happy but also makes them feel more special. We can directly know what they want by asking them itself but it will not be a surprise. It also takes away a lot of the suspense factor.
]]>
Birthday gifts should always be in such a way that they can truly express your feelings for the person. The gifts should be such that they express your feelings about him/her and shows how much you love, admire or like them. Perfect birthday gifts express your feelings when words aren’t enough. Every birthday is special, whether it is 21st, 30th, 40th or 50th birthday. A thoughtful gift will always bring a smile to your special person’s face.
Birthday gift should be exclusive and should suit the person’s personality, likes and dislikes and they should truly appreciate it. Gifts should match the occasion and be in such a way that they can leave an impression on the person’s mind for years to come. Your gifts should suit the age of the person as we are talking about the birthday gifts. Your gift should be age appropriate. You can choose a perfect gift if you concentrate on the receiver, not just on the gift itself.
Almost anything you give will be appreciated by the receiver. But you should choose the one which lasts long and has impact on the person so that they can use and treasure it for life time. The best way to choose the gift which has impact on the person is to think about his hobbies and interests. Most importantly, the birthday gift should be able to create unforgettable memories of the occasion rather than just fulfilling the purpose of that particular day.
Everyone has hobbies and interests that they love. A perfect birthday gift will enhance one of the recipient’s hobbies or interests. As birthday gifts are individual, try to find something that aligns with the receiver’s interests. For example, if the person likes listening to music, a compact CD player or an iPod shuffle may be a perfect choice. This will make your gift appealing and also shows that you really care for them. People generally do try to buy what they like, instead of what the receiver likes. What is the use of choosing something that doesn’t make the receiver happy?
You should make sure that the person is not having the gift you are planning to give. It’s like no-brainer giving the gift which he/she already owns and not much useful for them. If you are unsure, ask someone close to the recipient to get some gift suggestions. But if you give the one which they already have, it shows your carelessness towards them.
Your birthday gift represents your feelings or thoughts towards the recipient and he/she will treasure your gift regardless of its price. Gifts don’t stand for materialism, but each and every gift thrives on the love, thoughtfulness, and effort. The perfect gift shows that the person is known, remembered, cared for and above all loved.
