Ok $30 max something that can be bough locally, must be a fun gift. Ya know like that over sized flask, or the bull horn double beer holder on your head.. IDK.. going for fun and not so practical. What gift would you do and where do you find it locally, too late for Amazon.
You have the Crompton Collective, Worcester Wares or the Worcester Public Market.
That's entertainment has some crazy stuff
...Do you want to give a gift that people hate or one people might actually like? How about like a plant or a bunch of woo woo stuff from a place like Tap Root or Funky Stuff? Who doesn't want a bag full of feathers?

A REALLY big box of mixed chocolates?
Chia pet. Totally a classic.
I went to one where the funniest gift was a Santa toilet seat cover. Of course it got swapped many times. At the end it was revealed that there were scratch tickets hidden inside. Suddenly everyone wished they had kept it. It made the game more fun. 🎅🏻🎄
I once brought a variety pack of batteries to a yankee swap and I still cant think of a more practical gift.
A framed 8x10 glamour shot of yourself taken by a local Photographer or an inflatable hot dog pool float and a gift card to George’s to make up the difference
We went to home goods to find some fun stuff. My fiancé found a tea pot that looks like an elephant. I went to Trader Joe’s and got their 5 different types of pasta gift set with some fancy olive oil
I brought this to a yankee swap at my former employer, and it ended up being a huge hit.
Go to a liquor store and ask them for an empty wine case, the kind with the dividers. Then, buy as many cans of Pringles (get several different flavors) as will fit in the wine case and, get as many lottery scratch tickets as you are comfortable spending money on. Assemble it by sliding the Pringles cans into the wine case slots, then tape the scratch tickets to the tops of the Pringles cans, and tape the box up. You can wrap it, but you don't need to. The wine case acts as a little deception, but $20-30 in scratch tickets plus Pringles is far from a bad gift.

I was in the same situation. 3 for 1 dollar sour shrek soda bottles at FYE in the Auburn mall. Honestly they had a bunch of goofy gifts that were cheap.
