Yankee Swap/White Elephant gift ideas

WSO,

So I just started at a new PE firm about a month and a half ago and their christmas party is upcoming. The investment team (myself included), which is about 10 guys, have been doing a yankee swap for a few years. They do one normal and one gag gift with combined total spending power of $75.

I was thinking an Art of Shaving kit for normal gift and any idea of gag gifts ?

You can do custom mugs for good, cheap gag gifts. I've seen some pretty profane, yet extremely funny ones. There are also more tame ones depending on the audience. Plus, everyone drinks coffee, don't they?

Boob stress balls for the men?
