Hate just random grab bags.......like the kind where you write your name and what you want on a piece of paper, then these are tossed and all involved pull one... One year I listed a glass measuring cup...really needed it that year...and now 10 yrs later, each time I use that anchor glass 2cup measuring cup, I think of that person and smile......I think that is the only year I really enjoyed a "group gift thing".....
