What is the best gift to buy/receive in an office gift swap (white elephant style) with a $10 limit?

Glassware you don't mind breaking at parties. Or a Starbucks g.c.

I got a little plant for a office gift swap, which I thought was awesome and would brighten up someone's office. But it was the clear lame gift that no one wanted. So... not a plant.

Personally, I like to buy White Elephant gifts from such purveyors of fine accoutrements as The Pleasure Place because they go over so well. However, because this is the office, I'd have to say a Starbucks gift card. Stupid sexual harrassment policy.

A big box of little packets of hot sauce.

I bought Inception on DVD one year for an office gift exchange (the limit was > $10) and it was the gift nobody wanted. I couldn't believe it.

$10 is pretty small. At that limit, maybe some nice chocolate like Ghiardelli? Crossword or Suduko book?

Everyone is always pleased with coffee related items. Like a gift card, bags of coffee, or travel mugs.

My friend scored a blender one year, and we made margaritas with it and it made the biggest effing mess ever. Lesson-dont be the one to get the $10 blender from the white elephant!!
