Hated those work gift exchanges. I love the idea of having a food or toy drive and everyone forming a collective gift. That's a great suggestion. My Bee does a gift exchange for those who want to participate. Limit is $20, doesn't need to be quilted or handmade. When it comes to exchanging, we do that story where everyone sits in a circle and the story tells you to pass left and pass right, so no one has any idea who will end up with who's gift. I think that is pretty fair.
