nicole20 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I host Christmas at my house every year. Since there are so many adults and to keep things simple we do a white elephant, also known as dirty Santa gift exchange. What are some good gifts that you have given or have received playing this game at Christmas. Also looking for some other fun things to do this year that are different so tell me what fun games does your family play on Christmas?

Bopeep Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Do you have a price limit? And, do you play for gag gifts or real gifts? We do dirty Santa, but the "dirty" part is in the taking stuff away from each other. It's fun to try to find the perfect gift, that people are going to fight over.

But no one ever wants to take from anyone so it's not as fun as it could be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elmck Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I would think something like a gift certificate for a massage would be something everyone would enjoy,,, I would. Gift cards for nearby movie theater would be nice too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastiwife Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 We do one for my DH's work party. It is a $10 new gift per person and the dirty part is being able to steal. Some of the items from previous years were fast food or coffee gc, scratch off tickets, candy, alcohol, coffee and beer mugs, and dvds and cds. Last year the men were all stealing a remote control truck from each other and the women were going for a Godiva mug filled with cocoa and candy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanShotFirst Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Dirty Santa: gift cards, kitchen gadgets, candy dish filled with candy, small superhero/Star Wars toys, small lego set, holiday scented candle, bath gift basket, movie night gift basket, scratch offs, something from the "As Seen on TV" aisle, one of those Science DIY toy kits. As a grown woman, I'd be happy to get a toy! My cousins, their children, myself and my sister played the Saran Wrap ball game last Christmas. It was super fun and can be done with all ages. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jendeere Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 We also do the Saran Wrap ball! It's pretty much an all occasion game at our house- birthday/graduation/any holiday lol. It's always a hit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msyves Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 We do a sock exchange. You'll be amazed at how many funny and dirty socks are out there. We put them in Christmas stockings so you get 2 gifts in 1. We have such a blast with this. I've also given gift cards, lottery scratch offs, mini alcohol, and batteries for white elephant games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bopeep Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 what is that? how do you play? my kids are getting old and married and interested in something fun to do with themWe played with all the kids one year. You wrap several small gifts (candy, money, whatever) in different layers in a big saran wrap ball. One person has the ball, while the person to their left rolls 2 dice. The person with the ball has until the dice person rolls doubles, to try to unwrap the saran wrap and get to the prizes. When we played, the kids had to wear gloves (maybe oven mitts, I'm not sure), which made it that much harder to unwrap. It got really loud, but the kids had a blast with it. There are several YouTube videos if you want to check it out. Here's one: https://youtu.be/nB1AoZIwPjA 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won it last year (iTunes) and the littles were not at all happy with me! Lol. Good times. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
