A white elephant gift exchange is a fun way for friends to exchange humorous or quirky gifts. The idea is that participants bring wrapped, inexpensive, and sometimes amusing or unusual items to the gathering. Here's how it typically works:
Set a Budget: Decide on a budget that everyone should follow when purchasing their gift. Usually, it's a relatively low amount, ensuring the gifts are more about the fun and creativity rather than the cost.
Wrap the Gifts: Each participant wraps their gift to conceal what it is. The more creative or misleading the wrapping, the better!
Gift Exchange Rules: There are various ways to conduct the exchange. A common method is to draw numbers to determine the order in which participants pick a gift. The first person selects a wrapped gift, opens it, and shows it to everyone. Then, the subsequent participants can either choose a new wrapped gift or "steal" an opened gift from someone else. There might be rules about how many times a gift can be stolen before it's "frozen" or how the stealing process works.
The Fun Unfolds: As the gifts are opened and stolen, the excitement and laughter usually grow. The playful nature of the event is in enjoying the surprises and often ridiculous or funny items people end up with.
Enjoy the Laughter: Ultimately, the goal is for everyone to have a good time, share some laughs, and enjoy the company of friends.
Remember, the fun is often in the randomness and uniqueness of the gifts, so encourage creativity and a sense of humor! Instagram @Foodforestutah
