We did have a $1 gift exchange that the hosts provided all those gifts tho. Which was more of the white elephant than what the $30 exchange was. IMO.

And if you are gonna spend $30 why would you do it on Butter cookies and freaking more Hot Cocoa than anyone needs in one year? The girl that bought them did say "I really want to know what those cookies taste like they're supposed to be the best, and some of those Hot Cocoa flavors look really interesting' or something along those lines. So basically she bought stuff she wanted. Shoulda just gave em to her.

The entertaining part of the whole event is that there are a few gifts that everyone wants, and a few that nobody wants, and a whole bunch in between. People fight over the good ones and try to stick people with the bad ones, which is most of the fun.
