Gift Exchange Idea

So I have a Christmas party at my house every year for my husbands family. & years ago when we started we would try to think onf theme. One year is was entertainment.  The problem was we would have an issue with not every one like the same thing. So we  a few years back I decided to come up with an idea that people  can buy a gift that fits all year.   We choose based on the letter of the Alphabet, we started with “A”  then every year is a different letter..

  • We set a Limit of $15, gift must begin with letter of the year.  (D-dish, D-Dog treats, D-dinners card)
  • Every adult  brings the wrap gift  unmarked
  • We all get a number and pick in order of number
  • Gift are opened as they  picked so everyone can see
  • Anybody with a later number can steal the gift from an earlier person or pick a new gift from the pile (that is where the fun begins)
  • we do one more swap at the end for people who don’t like there gift to re-exchange

 

So this year  we are to the  letter “E” .

Gift Ideas For E




Every Year it is the one think that we all look forward to who is going to hide there gift under there chair so as not to have it scavenged by someone with a better number.   The teenagers old take from there great uncles and vice versa.  it is a;sp a great idea for office partys. For the little kids each parent brings a book for there kid to open.   One year my son cried so I could get the gift off another person.
