Annual White Elephant Gift Party!
6-8 pm

Do’s
Play the game with a sense of humor.
Don’ts
Do not take the outcome too seriously. Do not bring gifts that are absolute junk and unlikely to be useful to anyone. Remember, The Yankee Swap is about all about giving.
White Elephant Gift Ideas and Tips
The gift you bring should be something you would be happy to receive. Your gift doesn’t necessarily have to appeal to the entire group, however, it should be appropriate for more than a few people or at least something that can be regifted, otherwise someone might get stuck with something they have absolutely no use for. Try not to bring something that is too gender specific, for example, don’t bring a gift certificate to that chic designer had bag store unless you are sure nobody would mind getting it.
