What's a good $10 Secret Santa gift?

Something consumable or funny beats something useful-but-boring at this price. Candy with a joke attached, a gag that gets passed around the room, or a small treat-yourself item all land better than a $10 gadget.

Prices show a range — will these stay under $10?

Amazon prices move, especially in December. Every pick here normally sits at or under the ten-dollar mark, but check the current price on the listing before your exchange's cap counts.
