I said it last year…and i will say it again…white elephant gifts are the best kind of presents to buy! i puffy heart them! Iwrote up a post of ideas HERE last year
edited to add: Round up 3 is HERE
Before I get to the uber fun games and free printables…i thought i would share some presents that got spread around last year at my family party!!!
like..this fun umbrella hat:
and my mom scored with this awesome NO button: (she paired it with a high heel tape dispenser!)
my sister scored big when she found a fanny pack (its’ a huge family joke…) she filled the fanny pack with all sorts of neccessities…like a nail kit. a granola bar, hand sanitizer…it was great!
she also gave a live fish and with a bag of chips (fish and chips!) my favorite memory is my mom opening the bag and shrieking that it is a live fish!
There also was an awesome BUTT/FACE towel(with rubber ducky)
I made an AMAZING family calendar Filled with AMAZING pictures of my family….(and when I say amazing…i mean completely hideous.)
and Ithrew in$25 itunes card…but taped it the bottom of a box and then i literally cut up 5 magazines and filled the box with confetti (and sported a hand claw for a week…)
in the past i have done a set of flamingos, a santa pinata, a rubber chicken, and money soap
anything with chuck norris. anything
ipad caddy..for the bathroom.
we could have MAJOR fun with these stickers!!!!
and who WOULDN’T want a Nicholas cage pillowcase!
(walmart makes pillowcases from pictures…so you could do a bob saget one, or a keanu reeves, or john travolta in grease. have some fun with it)
you gotta love a friend that is willing to help you lose weight!
for the kids…cause they think we have one.
pizza chapstick. yummy.
whatcha always wanted…a framed autographed picture of the giver.
***********************
NOW when you have your awesome white elephant gift (check out THIS pin to see how you should wrap it)
anyways..you got to have fun way to exchange the presents….we did this with the kids…
print these out…cut them out..
and then everyone gets to choose one…its a great way to spread them around….
there of course is the fun right and left story
we also (as adults) played a fun dice game. there were 12 of us…and we had three sets of dice going around. All the presents are in the middle. if you roll a double : you can grab a present from the middle. (only roll once and then pass) My mom and dad ended up with 3 gifts each. then the ones that have presents open it. then you play another round and this time you steal the present you want! you can play until everyone gets a present..or play “jail rules” and some people get multiples while some go home empty handed!
this is also a fun idea from brassy apple
and this dice game would be a blast!
