Question for y'all.

When I was growing up, we did the gift stealing game in my family and everyone brought nice things and it would go on for hours because everyone was drinking and we didn't have steal limits. It seemed like a great time.

When I got older and went to parties with this game, every so often someone would bring some sort of really stupid cheap gift while everyone else brought nice stuff. I remember at one of them, almost everyone brought nice liquor or a nice gift around $50.. and the very last gift that was opened was this dude's used dog toy.

The person who got it was pissed because they had brought a very nice gift. I think the dude ended up giving that person $50 in cash the next day

So do y'all view the game as silly gifts, regular nice gifts, or do you see it as both and make sure everyone knows which one it is beforehand?
