Steal a present gift idea

Looking for ideas for a present for a Christmas day game (steal a present, also known as White Elephant Gift Exchange.)

Everyone has to bring a gift which needs to be generic in so far as it can be suitable for a male or female.

The gift value is set at €50.

Any suggestions?

A voucher for a nice lunch place, a board game for adults (not x rated but just not specifically for children). We have the one in the link below and it's good craic when you have a few people over. Other suggestions would be wireless earphones or a neutral hat/scarf.

it's a stupid idea

nearly impossible to buy a "male" present which every bloke would want and similar for female.... so how the hell are you going to get a present that absolutely everyone would appreciate

there is only one present which would work

Cash!

I wonder how a gift of 2x Millionaire Raffle Irish National Lottery New Year's Eve draw tickets would go down?

I give all my adult relatives a voucher for a very good restaurant where you get a great breakfast. Everyone likes a good breakfast treat. The vouchers cover 2 breakfasts each. Very appreciated by all.

How about a 1oz silver coin such as one you could pick up from Adverts.ie? It may not be the most entertaining thing, but people would keep it and value it - at least I would
