We do Secret Santa for the adults. Everyone writes thir name and a list f things they want, then we draw from a hat. Only rule is you can't get yourself or your partner. We pick a value, sometimes $10, sometimes $50, depends on the year.
The buyer can then get as many or as few things off the list as they want. Most of us make a bit of a sport out of squeezing as many gifts out of the fund allocation as possible.
One year BIL asked for a money tree, so I got a kids drawing of a tree and sticky taped 5c pieces to it. He also asked for dynamite, so I got him a candle with a homemade label that said "Slow Burning Dynamite" And the fly reel he wanted. It is ce fun.
