Martin LAs the experienced participant in two, count 'em two, Yankee Swaps in one day, I now feel qualified to give advice as to the most popular gifts.
Swap #1 was for a work lunch (mine) held at a restaurant. Strangely enough, NO ONE swapped. Everyone seemed to enjoy the gift he or she picked. The most frequently given gift was chocolates: Lindts, gourmet hot chocolate, and dark chocolate
macadamia nuts. There was also the ever-present holiday candle (with a lighter), and a much appreciated book light.
Swap #2 was a work dinner (casual bbq with video games and pool and significant others). Much more swapping went on. Hotly contested items were a set of steak knives, a bottle of
Kahlua, and a usb fridge that holds one can. (Huh?) This one was lots more fun.
As an aside, it seems like a
Yankee Swap is the perfect opportunity for regifting those
white elephants.
