I got to have the honor of setting up and planning our departments Christmas party this year, hurray! Everyone is really looking forward to it, and it's typically a family friendly event, so everyone brings their spouses/SOs, and children. However, due to two of our parent coworkers leaving us this year, and the only other Mom of young kids in the group coming solo, that leaves one of our pharmacists as the only one bringing little ones along. He has a 6 year old son and a 4 year old daughter. Everyone is is childless, childfree, or their children are long grown and moved out. Originally I was going to just have them parents bring a kid-friendly gift for each one in attendance and have them do their own swap. But with just two of them coming, would I just be better off getting something for each of them to open up so they don't feel left out? It's a new dilemma as normally we draw names, but hours have been cut and everyone's budget is tight, so we're sticking to cheap and funny things this year.
People are known to run a little wild with gag gifts, so I don't want one of these poor kids sitting there with something totally uninteresting or inappropriate
