I'm a new hire in a Corp Dev group who has only been on the job for a few months We're doing secret santa and I got the head of our group. I don't know the guy too well and need to get him a gift under $25. Opening this up to all sorts of ideas. Would love input from any upper level VPs/MDs are on here, if you found out that your first year analyst had to get you a $25 gift for you, what would you want.

Not a VP or anything like that, but have been giving/receiving funny gifts for some time now. How chill of a dude is he? How chill of a dude are you perceived to be? How chill is your group? If the answer to all three is 'very chill', this is a great time to break the ice with a novelty gift like a fleshlight or something. Otherwise just do booze.
MD's love rim jobs. Like really like them. Trust me...
Ask other people at your level what types of gifts were given in previous years. If they were gag gifts you can go that route but I'd play it safe since you're new. $25 is tough because even for alcohol that's not very much but you can try to figure out something that may fit him. For example, if he's a craft beer guy try to find something that's not easy to just pick up at any corner store (what's that beer from VT-Heady Topper?). Or if he has a kid who likes Star Wars get him a gift certificate to a movie theater and write a note saying that it's to take his kid to the Star Wars movie (and make sure $25 is enough for two tix, I have no idea how much movies cost).

You're welcome.
So many options:
-- $25 gift certificate to Applebee's -- Take a bunch of Bic pens, Post-It notes, and other things from the supply room and wrap it up -- 12 pack of Miller Lite -- Vintage t-shirt from his college/high school/hometown from eBay -- a book -- Something from Brookstone -- A pair of socks -- Girl Scout cookies -- 'Bleed Lehman Green' t-shirt
This sounds like a great idea.. +1 'will use it next time I am in such a situation.. Thanks.
Could just go original with the Bombay Sapphire for $20. http://www.bevmo.com/bombay-sapphire-gin--750-ml-.html
