Where I work we have an annual Christmas party at a very nice restaurant, we have a ( white elephant) gift exchange. The people who want to participate wraps up a gift- can be anything- a regift ( there are a couple gifts that return year after year- kind of a tradition) gifts are wrapped and placed on a designated table when we come in. Then each person who brought a gift draws a number out of the bowl- after our meal we start, number by number going up & choosing a gift. The next person has the option of choosing a new gift or ( stealing) one that has already been picked. If yours is taken from you you go pick a new one. No gift can be taken more than twice. Everyone has lots of fun with this, even our spouses/ dates participate. Those who don’t still enjoy watching. If you ( get stuck) with a gag gift you just wrap it up & take it to the next one. It’s all in fun. We all look forward to it each year.
