Gift Ideas for the Christmas Game

Each year at the Quiz Team Christmas Party (December 19 - potluck dinner at the church) we play a game known by some as a "Yankee Swap". Essentially, each quizzer brings a wrapped gift that costs between $5 and $10. All the gifts are put into a pile, and each quizzer is given a number. We then call each number in turn and the quizzer called can either take a present from the pile, or take a gift that has already been opened. Things continue until we're all out of numbers.

Every year some people have NO problem thinking of ideas for presents for the gift game at the Quiz Team Christmas party. ...And every year some people are absolutely stumped. If you need some ideas, here are a few popular ideas from past years.

• Nerf toys (guns, balls, etc.)
• Tool sets
• Bible-themed toys
• Christian CDs
• Candy
• Puzzles (Brain teasers, mind games, etc.)
• Stuffed animals

One thing to be careful of this year is gift cards. They are often popular, but in a down economy you have to be careful to only buy cards for stores you are SURE will be around in January.
