INSIDE THIS GUIDE
These gifts might increase the steal limit.
Each member of your holiday party is bound to become a Dirty Santa if any of these picks is unwrapped. We gathered 16 of the best steal-worthy gifts into one guide, with different price caps and a round of funny gifts if you'd rather earn some laughs. From the office party to your aunt's living room, these gifts will raise the stakes for everyone.
SECTION 01
Under $20
With $20 in your pocket, these gifts will get stolen more than a thrift-store coat.
1.1
OXO
3-in-1 Avocado Slicer
Split, pit, and slice avocados with this kitchen gadget. It makes avocado toast a breeze and speeds up guacamole preparation time.
1.2
Carhartt
Carhartt Iconic A18 Watch Cap Beanie
Carhartt makes one of the most-worn hats around: it's the beanie of choice for skaters, baristas, and dads. Truly unisex, its ribbed knit keeps noggins warm and stylish.
1.3
BONAOK
Wireless Bluetooth Karaoke Microphone
The party will turn into a karaoke set once someone starts singing Mariah. The Bluetooth mic has a built-in speaker, echo, and pairing capabilities, so any sing-along becomes a concert.
1.4
Dash
Dash Mini Waffle Maker
Move over, toaster waffles: this mini waffle maker cooks doughy maple-syrup holders in minutes. It fits on the busiest kitchen countertops and might even earn a spot by the coffee maker.
SECTION 02
Under $30
These gifts may induce snarls, groans, and sighs once they're stolen.
2.1
Nostalgia
Tabletop Indoor Electric S'mores Maker
This is a hot item, and some people will get burned when they don't go home with an indoor s'mores maker. Four compartments hold all the necessary ingredients, so everyone can time their burnt s'more assembly just right.
2.2
Hamilton Beach
Breakfast Sandwich Maker
Layer ingredients into this sandwich maker and continue with your morning routine as it cooks. You might start eating the most important meal of the day at dinnertime, too.
2.3
Czech Games Edition
Codenames Board Game (2nd Edition)
The only gift where guessing is necessary, Codenames is a classic addition to the game-night rotation. It gets competitive fast, so maybe wait to play until tensions ease from the Dirty Santa circle.
2.4
Apple
Apple AirTag (2nd Generation)
Apple made retracing steps a thing of the past when it introduced the AirTag. It's a want and a need for the person who always loses their keys.
SECTION 03
Under $50
When the price cap goes up, so do the stakes.
3.1
Harry & David
Moose Munch Premium Popcorn Holiday Drum
Whoever ends up with the Moose Munch will savor a sweet victory. The mix includes dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and buttery caramel popcorn, and probably won't make it home if opened at the party.
3.2
JBL
Go 4 Portable Bluetooth Speaker
JBL's palm-sized speaker has made an appearance on several of our gift guides, because it's what the people want. Portable, waterproof, and dustproof, it's a little speaker that packs a big bass punch.
3.3
Bedsure
Heated Throw Blanket
When winter comes, you preheat the car before driving, and preheat the couch with a heated blanket before a good scrolling session. Good luck fighting Grandma for this one.
3.4
Moocoo
Moocoo Electric Wine Opener with Charging Base
Dinner parties are now saved from the embarrassment of broken corks. One button pulls the cork out, and then the aerator and pourer turn you into a sommelier.
SECTION 04
Funny Steal-Starters
The picks that get the most laughs and end in an unserious standoff.
4.1
Funwares
Nachosaurus Snack and Dip Set
Jurassic Park meets game day. Fill the Nachosaurus with chips and a prehistoric dip, or whatever snacks you have stockpiled.
4.2
Mermaker
Burrito Tortilla Blanket, 71 in
Couch burrito might replace the potato as the laziest food. Wrap yourself in this tortilla-like throw blanket and settle in for uninterrupted me-time.
4.3
Exploding Kittens
Exploding Kittens Original Edition
Lines were drawn during Dirty Santa, so you might as well take it a step further. Exploding Kittens is a ruthless, family-friendly mix of Russian roulette, cards, and cats, where you defuse disaster with a laser pointer or a catnip sandwich.
4.4
Running Press
Wacky Waving Inflatable Tube Guy
Car dealerships shouldn't be the only businesses that get an inflatable tube guy. This mini version fits on your desk and will entertain during meetings that could've been an email.
