football.

My work Christmas party is on Friday and I've waited too long to get a gift for the white elephant gift exchange.

What's a good gift for like 20-30 bucks that people will fight over or think is funny? If it helps I mostly work with programmers and tech people.

Please help me be the hit of the office Christmas party thanks

Get a 20-30 bottle of booze. After that anything "normal". [Hiking/camping multi-tool like a gerber, tea serving set, sushi plate set, etc].

I worked at a big animation studio in Los Angeles that had a huge population of nerds.

Everyone fought over the booze, the tools and the stoneware sets [tea set and someone had a sushi serving stoneware set]. No one wanted to get caught with the gag gifts or the toys/nerd gifts. For some reason half of the gifts were 20-30 lego sets, which, honestly I have nothing against lego but it was pretty weird even in an animation studio for everyone to think of getting the same thing like that.

No matter how many bad decisions I've made at least I've never spent time trying to come up with a thoughtful gift for someone that they hate so much they tell a newspaper how much they hate it and make sure to point out that I'm the one who gave it to them

You can get one of those kits where you take a mold of your boner and then make a dildo out of it. I put that in an anonymous white elephant once with a note that explained it was actually my dick.
