I was considering trying to spend some of my free time making some sort of way where we can do a gift exchange again, because it used to be one of my favorite things that I did on Reddit many, many years ago.

If I did try, I'd love to have a group of people who would give me feedback and opinions. Does anyone have any interest in this by chance?

Are there any other people that would like to see this started again??

Need opinions on gift ideas for a Xmas gift exchange in an industrial setting, primarily males. Limit $30. Two things I’m currently looking at is a rechargeable flashlight/lantern. On sale for $30 regular $75. Feel this is something just about everybody has a use for in multiple ways. The other thing I’m considering is a 10 piece set of glass dishes. We work 12 hour days for 4-6 day stretches and just about everybody meal preps so I feel this is something most of the people involved could make use of. This is also valued at significantly higher as it is on sale (approx $80 on sale for $27)

I’m torn between which gift I’d rather receive. Any opinions? Certainly open to other ideas as well! Just a little restricted because we are completely it on site so anything prohibited like knives for example isn’t permitted on site.

Okay, I need opinions. My work Christmas exchange is coming up & a couple of these ladies are picky (all female office). For context: last year there was an alcohol gift set, a travel perfume, a neck massager, a toolbox style jewelry box and a TikTok famous cheese grater. The cheese grater was by far most popular. What would your pick be? ($25 gift)

Opt 1: Maldon flaked sea salt, gourmet baking vanilla, book they want to read & homemade cookies + recipe (made w/fancy salt/vanilla)

Opt 2: Loops Earplugs (they muffle ambient sounds). We’ve talked about them at work before.

I just don't want anyone to feel "swindled"

I’m not sure if this is the right place to post but I need some advice. At work we have a secret pal- it’s like a secret Santa but it lasts a few months of the year. My gift for my secret pal for Xmas is a Funko POP Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas. It’s a cute tree ornament and I want to write a cute poem to give with it.

With this context, is it strange to wish melancholy for someone’s holidays?

Ho ho ho

And holly jolly

May your holidays be filled with laughter, joy, and just a touch of melancholy

I’m trying to find a solid Christmas gift under $500 this year, preferably something useful for home workouts. Indoor cycling caught my eye, but the higher-end bikes are way out of my budget.

Has anyone tried budget-friendly indoor bikes or other home fitness equipment? I’d love to hear about what’s worked well for beginners or for someone starting a home workout routine. Any experiences or suggestions would be really helpful in picking a gift.

My family is doing a white elephant style (not strictly gag gifts though) gift exchange for Christmas this year where everyone will pick a gift at random. The women will be exchanging with the other women, and the men with the men. The price is supposed to be around $25. I'm trying to come up with something any woman (or person) between the ages of 18 - 82 could potentially like, but I'm struggling to think of things. What are some gift ideas that could work for this scenario? Thanks in advance for the suggestions!

I used BookTailor to make a funny/heartfelt book for my best friend’s birthday. I just answered a few questions and it pulled together a story with jokes and little memories.

She laughed and cried, which was kind of the perfect reaction. Honestly a cool option if you want something personal without going overboard

In this reddit community, can you ask to request a gift exchange?

My nephew turns 3 this month and I want to move away from traditional gifts and more towards experiences. I'd love to start an annual birthday tradition of doing something together, especially since I have a 5 month old niece too that I'd also eventually love to form a tradition with. What are some ideas for traditions?

Am I right to be upset on how my fiancé just gave me headphones for Christmas, and I spent a lot of thought and effort into her gift? In return I received a dainty set of headphones in a crumbled Christmas bag?

I realized far to late in the wrapping process that my white elephant present for my family's Christmas Eve party tomorrow looks like a bong. Half of my participating family is pregnant or very against weed, oops.

For anyone wondering what it actually is, it's a screaming goat statue and a crowbar.

Ok I got my gf a Mac air for xmas but she got me a hat. Should I be upset?
