> Office party season is coming and I refuse to spend $25 on a gift that gets re-gifted for a decade. I want something under $20 that causes an actual stealing war — funny, but with a real use so it doesn't end up in a junk drawer by January. Last year someone brought a $15 taco-shaped sleeping bag and it got stolen four times. What has that energy this year? Bonus points if it's easy to wrap and doesn't need batteries.

> Stealable beats funny

> Stealable beats funny. The taco blanket worked because people could actually use it. My pick: a good headlamp. Sounds boring. Gets stolen every single time, because everyone secretly wants one and nobody buys one for themselves. Under $15, no batteries needed if you get the rechargeable kind, fits in a gift bag. The checkable rule: if the gift's only job is to be a joke, it dies. If its job is to be useful and it's funny-shaped, it lives.
