Gift guide editor

A Yankee Swap gift under $20 has to work harder because the budget is tight and the final recipient is unknown. Aim for gifts that are easy to understand, broadly useful, funny without being embarrassing, and safe for a mixed group. Avoid anything too scented, sized, fragile, personal, or likely to look like clearance-bin filler.
Start with the recipient and occasion, then narrow by budget, personalization, and what would feel useful after the moment has passed. The strongest gifts here are selected to balance sentiment, practicality, and low-risk buying decisions.
