Lisa:  We do that for my family as well and every year I struggle. Last year my gift was the best. I got two remote control cars on different frequencies and wrapped them together. The swapping of these almost caused a fight and then we all played with them for hours, taking turns and my brother in law happily took them home. To continue that theme, I was at Rite Aide 2 days ago and I got tumbling vehicles. They were on sale for $5.99 a piece and I have already put batteries in them and wrapped them up. I got 2 again so that we can all play with them. Just an idea that worked great for me!

Sahara:  alcohol is usually very popular. coffee shop gift certificate (starbucks or dunkin' doughnuts) music store gift certificate cash set of beer glasses *I normally hate gift cards and certificates but in this case, it might be a good idea if you want something that people will love.

kckli:  If your family has a good sense of humor, I'd go with the Yodeling Pickle ($12.95). I really, really want to buy it for a friend of mine just because it's so ridiculous. If they're the goofy, silly sort, everyone will either want it to try to get rid of it. It could become a family joke for years. However, if your family wouldn't find it hysterical, a gift card to a resturant is always a good choice for a swap. Everyone can use that.

PSOs gal:  Cant go wrong with a gift card to a restraunt or a coffee shop. Even if you have guys and girls it wont matter who gets it both can use it. Throw in a travel mug.
