Wow ladies, lots of wonderful ideas!  Where was this forum three years ago when I had my son 
I found a really interesting, funny and clever story online called "the Rights".  I always had 3-4 gifts (just in case there was a tie for one of my games) and had one lady start with the gift.  you read the story which is filled with "rights" and "lefts" and every time you say it the gift gets passed in that direction.  at the end of the story the holder of the gift gets to keep it.  very funny

As far as gifts I often did little gift bags with memo paper, chapstick, infusers, candles, things like that
