Our family needs to bring 4 gifts of $5 each to an exchange for adults. Anyone have any great ideas for gifts in this range? We have all of the major retailers around us, but would of course prefer to have it delivered it me. :)

Magazine Subscription? Amazon often has a few for $5 each.

A magazine, such as People or Nat Geo.
Gift Cards
Bath and Body Works soaps
A scarf
Manicure set
Bottle of wine from TJ's and one of their awesome wine corkers
A $5 DVD from Target
Package of Lindor truffles.
A package of pizzelle cookies (sadly costs $6 at our grocery store). :(
A holiday t-shirt from Walmart, Target, or Old Navy.
An ornament

Doing this myself (looking for $5 gifts). I would stroll around TJs and you can probably pick up all that you need. Chocolate, other yummy food items, they are have a set of 3 exfoliating facial scrubs with different scents that you could open and have each be a separate gift, etc.

We also need $5 gifts for a family exchange. For this year I have:

Bing Crosby White Christmas CD:

Flask keychain (will get a tiny bottle of liquor to go with it):

We have been doing this for years with a pretty big group. Popular items in the past have included: Drink mixes (martini, etc.), big container of cheese puffs, picture frames, beer, scratch-off lottery tickets. There is always a mini flashlight or screwdriver set or both in the mix. One year my aunt brought a pack of toilet paper. :)

Trader Joe's lightly sparkling Contadino Pino Grigio Vivace - our favorite... and everyone else who tries it! :-D

My husband bought these for his coworkers: http://www.kohls.com/product/prd-1792639/st-nicholas-square-woodland-thermal-travel-mug.jsp (there are different designs as well). Kohl's also has smaller fleece blankets for less than $5 too.
