we've done this most successfully in previous years...
firstly employees elect to participate in the event; then we email providing employees with a theme (in previous examples we've used: coffee cups (a good way of supplementing the office supply of cups); desk pen/pencil caddies; desk calendars/diaries; - all office / work based items); we've stipulated the $ceiling (usually $10); with the Receptionist usually running the ballot of the participating EEs and coordinating the return of wrapped & labelled gifts by a certain date.
the gifts are either given out in our last morning tea for the year (we run monthly birthday morning teas) or on the day of the xmas party...
if you allow time for each person to open their gift as presented, it can create a good buzz and is a good precursor for staff interaction...
this works well for our crowd of 60+ staff
good luck
