For the pin cushion trade you could play the Christmas present exchange game.....
Have everyone draw a number from a hat. Display all the pin cushions. #1 goes first and selects a pin cushion. #2 can select a pin cushion from those left OR take the one that #1 selected. If she takes from #1, then #1 selects again And so on. Each one chooses from the pin cushions left or take one from someone who has selected previously. Sometimes the taking and re-taking can go on and on and on, so you might want to put a limit on the number of times any one item can change hands.
Or....put each one in a brown bag and have a blind swap. You could number the bags and then have each person draw a number to see which one she won.
Just thoughts. Have fun!!
