white elephants?
i am attending a christmas party, and i need a gift. we are having a white elephant gift exchange. does anyone have a good gift idea.
this is the game overview.......
The game is frequently played among family, friends, and/or work colleagues. A minimum of 6 to 8 players helps by giving sufficient opportunities for players to steal gifts from one another, which is a key component of the game's enjoyment.
Although frequently popular, some participants may find the game unenjoyable, or a session of the game may not go over successfully. A clearly communicated set of game rules helps avoid misunderstandings about the nature of the game; a confident and tactful game moderator often helps as well.
Unlike other kinds of group gift exchanges, it does not require the gift-givers to concern themselves with selecting appropriate items for a particular person, which makes it popular among groups that may contain only casual acquaintances. In fact, the inappropriateness of gifts - planned or not - is often a source of entertainment. However, an exchange in which none of the participants find any of the gifts appealing may fail to elicit stealing, which can result in less dynamic game play. On the other hand, gifts that are widely appealing may introduce fierce competition for them, which can take the fun out of the game for some people.

Amy B: Fun fun fun! I just had a white elephant style party and it was fun! The gift I picked was turned about to be a box full of newspaper and rocks. But inside was also an envelope that led to to another place in the room where the real gift was tucked away. Once I was there it was local jewelry. Go through a fun store and see what you see... how about good liquor, a spa treatment certificate, a morning coffee set with some flavors and the thermos, DVDs, a warm winter blanket, jewelry, or a gag gift?
