You only have $10.00-$15.00 for ALL 8 people or that much PER person?
Whatever the case... try this (a fun idea for a group gift)
Go to a chinese restuarant (or a local market if they have them) and get the chinese to-go boxes. Fill them with a little bit of candy and perhaps a pretty scented candle (for women) and something else for men (I'm still working on this... since both the guys at my work smoke they're getting those...nothing like giving cancer for christmas!). Close them up, write their names on the outside (or, attach a card) and tie some festive ribbon to the handle.
Or, if you have time, you can spray paint the outside of the boxes a nice color and then with glitter (which is my plan).
It's fairly cheap all around and you can always toss in those gift cards people are suggesting. The thought is better than the gift and people will appreciate the effort you put into it instead of just tossing them money in the form of a plastic card (which to me says "here, I felt obligated to get you something but I had no idea what you wanted...")
Other things to put inside include: Hot cocoa, small picture frames, specialty tea bags, mini bottles of alcohol (for the alcoholic in all of us) or a keychain that correlates to something they enjoy.
Good luck!

Ross is a great place to spend that amount of money but get double the value. You can show up your co workers by looking shop smart. Also the dollar store sale gift bags and tissue real cheap. Looks sharp caring in a bunch of decorative bags. Every one does gift cards and lottery tickets. Show more thought went into your gifts. Happy Holidays

Go to Wal-Mart. They have gifts in all price ranges. I know I have bought things like: Meat and cheese gift paks
Make up sets
Calgon gift paks
Body spray sets
Scented candle sets
Hat n scarf sets

Pancake gift sets
All these items have been priced within the 10-15 range. Hope this helps

If you have a world market near by they have all kinds of wonderful gifts. i saw alot of items in that price range. alot of food items that everybody likes. hot cocoa mix in a mug, banana bread mix in a cute pan and blonde brownie mix in a oven mitten. alot of make it yourself items can be a mug from the dollor store, walmart has them for a buck this time of year. buy a box of coca mix and put several packs into mug tie a ribbion on the handle and there you have it. or fill with individual candies. Make somekinda bread, banana bread for instance wrap in clear wrap, put on a bow and you have a nice gift. Kirkland home store has these great crosses with a ribbon tied at the top, in boxes. I think they are 4.99. You could get them on line still if the shipping was fast.

Give them a gift card to circuit city then they can get what they want or ask them each what store they like and give them a gift card for the place of there choice. Or even better just give them money.

um...
if you are to spend 10-15 on each of the 8 ppl, then the options are bit wider, from stationary to makeup to etc.
but if 10-15 for total 8 ppl, then... try something at dollar store... maybe each person a new cup

I think for office gift exchanges, really cute or nice Christmas tree decorations are great. I love reminiscing at my stuff while decorating the tree.
