    Default Grab bag gift ideas?

    I need help with fun ideas for a grab bag gift for a neighborhood exchange. The people participating will be anything from early 20s all the way up to retired 70s and 80 year old. It’s only for adults so alcohol is allowed. The spending limit is $30. What are your fun or unique ideas for something like this?

    Puzzles seem to be making a comeback. I'm seeing some fun ones of local landmarks/skylines around here.

    I love the puzzle idea. A cool Colorado mountain/ski puzzle and the fixings for cocoa with bailey's or something would be great for all ages. Call it a Cozy Night In kit.

    Cards against humanity with a gift receipt in case the older seniors get it and don’t like it! I would think most people would find it amusing. I just bought it for a 60th birthday gift.
