Well, the question was about a Christmas gift, so why are we talking about Jews, Muslims, and atheists?

I don't know about the others, but a lot of us atheists celebrate Christmas. I wouldn't be offended to receive a copy of the Bible, just mystified.

A good question is never answered. It is not a bolt to be tightened into place but a seed to be planted and to bear more seed toward the hope of greening the landscape of the idea. John Ciardi

Its probably a good tactic to stick to the price limit. If enough people go over the limit, then next year's limit may be higher, so some people will go over again and then before you know it you'll be spending hundreds each year
Now, if the limit is $10, i'd stick to $10. especially if this is something like an office party. if it's a small groups of friends, i might go over a little, but probably not even then...

Anyhow... I don't think anyone should be offended by getting a bible for Christmas. It is, after all, a Christian holiday, regardless of the religious beliefs of the person celebrating it. An athiest might appreciate a different gift more, but I think that taking offense to recieving one would be a little extreme...
