10 Best Christmas Grab Bag Gift Ideas For Adults

Every Christmas eve, my family gathers at my grandma's house to celebrate my favorite day of the year. We enjoy great Italian food, many laughs and, most importantly, the annual grab bag game. Each person brings a gift, costing around $20, and we pick numbers to decide the order of who chooses first. Some people take the grab bag seriously, and buy gifts they actually think others will use. And some, like my Uncle Tony, choose items like an Obama chia pet. Over the last couple of years, I have gotten a pretty good idea of the crowd favorites -- not to mention fighting over items everyone wants to steal. If you're in need of grab gift ideas for adults, bring any one of these eight gifts to this year's Christmas and your success is almost guaranteed.

1. Chocolate covered popcorn

Chocolate covered popcorn and Christmas go together like bacon and eggs.

2. Ornament

This gift will remind them of you for many years to come.

3. Collection of wine glasses or shot glasses

The perfect grab bag gift for adults who want to maintain the holiday spirit while getting drunk.

4. A bottle of wine

Because who doesn't like a good bottle of wine?

5. Coffee mugs and hot chocolate

Get them the official Christmas drink to keep them warm and fuzzy throughout the holiday season.

6. Your favorite movie, candy, and a six-pack of beer

For a holiday evening well spent.

7. Apparel from your favorite sports team or college

Every true fan needs those.

8. Cooking utensils, oven mitts, cookie cutters, etc.

'Tis the season for baking and cooking!

9. Movie theater tickets

All the good movies are released around the holiday season.

10. Lottery Tickets

Make Christmas day their lucky day.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
