A part of the family has switched to drawing straws: In this group of 8, you don't have to come up with 7 gifts and receive 7, but instead are until the holidays are anonymously selecting one item from a wish list for one person, and only receive on gift. On your list are 3 options not exceeding 35$ dollars in our case. You may keep your list very open to the choices of the giver.
Now all I need to do is figure out what I should put on that list. Something nice that also helps save money somehow?
