What is the best way to decide on what to buy as an office gift?

Employee Gift Exchange

Pass out pre-addressed index cards to each person. Have everyone write down their three favorite gift categories on the blank side of the card. (For example, books, CDs and gourmet cookies.) Collect and fold the cards so that the names don't show. Have each participant pick one of the cards from a basket. If the person picks her own card, have her put it back and pick another. Ask each person to keep the recipient's name and the category chosen a secret.
