I know this is a lame question but I’ve always been in the loser crowd and need advice. My ladies work group is doing a gift exchange - being 3 identical items of $10ish value ($30 total). I feel like lots of women will bring candles. What are other good ideas?

Unless the request is specifically for alcohol, don’t do this. No one wants to be That Guy who accidentally gives someone who doesn’t drink a bottle of cheap wine as a gift.
