Picking a gift people will steal
In a steal-style exchange, the best gifts are easy to want: something useful, something you can see the use of at a glance, and a wrapping that does not give it away. A candle, a good tea or a pair of warm socks tends to get stolen early.
Check the group's price limit first. If it is a Secret Santa where nobody steals, a thoughtful small gift beats a novelty one.
