All right here is the deal... My job gave each employee $50 and we must match $50 to it and buy a $100 gift for a company gift exchange on friday. The gift exchange works like this everybody picks a number out of hat and then the person with number one picks a gift from the under tree. Then number two can either pick a new gift under the tree or take the gift the number one has. Now any give that you choose to steal from another employee can only be stolen three times. On the third time the gift is stolen that pick belongs to that person. You keep doing this until everybody has a gift.

The help I need is buying a $100 gift. I don't want to buy something that somebody will be too tempted to steal because I dont want to get stuck with a crap gift like an electric toothbrush or something. I naturally want to buy something I like but there is nothing that comes to mind that costs exactly $100. I have plenty of DVD players, video game systems and etcetera. I want an IPOD but I want the 80GB that costs $350. Any suggestions on a good $100 gift to buy for this crap.

Oh yeah the gift can't be personalized like spare car parts or clothes that can only fit you or something.

Sounds like the person that suggested this format watched too many episodes of the American version of "The Office".

What the hell is with that. You HAVE to add $50 to the gift. That is bullshit. To make you spend another $50 is wrong.


We do that type of gift exchange at our Christmass party but its just for fun. Nothing over $20 and you don't have to do it.
