My family (18 years and older) does a white elephant gift exchange every year.
The rules are each adult has to purchase one gift and it can't cost more than $15.00. It can be anything from a store or even a garage sale; you never know what will show up. All gifts are placed in a single pile.
Then a deck of cards is shuffled and everyone picks one card. The highest card (Ace) goes first; they pick any gift from the pile of gifts.
Once they pick the gift, they open it for everyone to see.
The next highest card has the choice of taking an opened gift or picking from the pile. If they take someone?s already opened gift, the person who had a gift taken from them has to pick and open a gift from the pile again, they can also take someone else's opened gift.
Play continues until all gifts have been opened, this game gets real funny when people try to ditch their white elephants (the gifts that suck). We always end up laughing our butts off near the end; it?s a lot of fun.
We?ve done this for about 20 years and each year is a blast.
