I know many of you have jobs and in those jobs many of you have Christmas/Holiday gift exchanges where you buy a gift for under $20 (sometimes under $25) and play a game where people fight for the best one in the pool.

It's fun to fight for that one gift, even though it's usually the one you bought, hoping you'll end up with it in the end anyway. Sometimes you're not so lucky though.

Some people make very little effort to find a creative gift for under $20 so they opt for the movie tickets gift certificate, a GC at a restaurant, or that really bad movie on DVD. Yet some people do try and we thank them for doing so.

I try. And I usually get something I want back, so that's usually why I try.

This year I picked up a pair of hand-held radios (with a 3 mile reception) hoping I get them back and use them for one of our next Calecia.com field trips.

What are some good gifts under $20 for gift exchanges that are worth buying?

One of my friends,who is a teacher, did a gift exchange in his class and limited the students to one item bought at a 99 cent store. I can't wait to hear the great stuff the bought each other.

TJ Maxx has many good gifts for about $20. Especially, old sports jerseys.

They're called "retro"

...they actually had some current jerseys (LeBron James, Keenan McCardell, Mike Bibby, and many college teams).
