In an office with the Dirty Santa rule I gave a small box of assorted cigars. Price was supposed to be $25 or less - I fudged and went slightly higher on value of cigars alone. Box didn't cost me anything as I had plenty sitting around. At the time I was maintaining three humidors and had several hundred cigars, so figured why not.

Office was 80% female. There was a limit on the number of times a gift could be "stolen" and the cigars hit the limit. It was something none of them expected and it livened up the gift exchange.

An MRE works nicely.
 



Also, go to just about any China Buffet, often there is some really weird "cultural" crap for sale at the front.  Fake "jade" plants made from glass and wire, plastic gold and red lanterns, etc.




For extra fun, act like it's the coolest thing you have ever purchased when you buy it.

I asked the same question near the end of October. Got some good ideas from that thread, one of which was a fire extinguisher, and I went with that.


ETA: In case you want some other ideas.

Buy a $20 Texas Lottery scratch ticket.
Speaking as one who has hit tens of thousands of dollars on lottery scratch tickets it will be an immediate magnet.

I gave an Elvis phone at a family one years back. Had a statue of Elvis, and instead of ringing, it would play Hound Dog and Elvis would dance.

Correct.  It can't be garbage to be guiltlessly thrown away, but it shouldn't be an actual good gift that someone would put on their wish list.  Food items that no one will actually eat are decent.  The specialized tool (that no one has a use for) from harbor freight is a good one.  Chia pets are one of the old standbys.  

I still have a garden hose that I got ~4 years ago at a white elephant gift exchange.

We give a "Bird Nest Kit" to the assholiest kid in the family. The kids change over the years but the Bird Nest Kit stays the same. Paper towel tube filled with grass and small twigs wrapped in pretty paper.

The full PMAG is a sweet idea.

I'm thinking of taking the minimum monetary amount of money and freezing it in a large chunk of ice. At least dollar bills and change. Maybe some sort of holiday themed Ice mold to make it funny as well.

My favorite was an ancient Singer sewing machine that I'd cleaned up and lubed.

It worked great but it was a heavy lump of cast iron to anyone who didn't know how to use it.  

It was a great implement for anyone who did know how to use it.

And it cost $7 at the local Salvation Army store.

Buy it here.

One of THE worst movies ever made.  I buy them in lots of 5, use them at all the gift exchanges I go to.

Got it one year, came with a handwritten note that said "Bet you can't watch it twice."

I lost the bet.

Quoted:
If memory serves, there are THREE types of gift exchanges:

White elephant - bad gift
Secret Santa- good gift

And

Dirty Santa - any kind of gift but you draw numbers or determine a draw order. You randomly pick a gift and open it. If you don't like it, you have the option of taking a gift from someone that has opened an earlier gift you like better and giving them yours. The last person to pick has the best position as they can pick from any of the previously opened gifts.

We did Dirty Santa at one of the Christmas parties through work. My boss decided to be the dirtiest Santa of all and after everyone had an unwrapped gift in front of them, he made us give it to the person on our left. I got a set of scented candles, which I was not taking home.
