Did you get 2 of the same thing or something you already have? Maybe you were given something you really didn’t like or was a little bit “old” for you. Well…..I have found the perfect solution, re gifting, but with a difference.
How many people just put an unwanted present in the ‘present drawer’ with the intention of giving it to someone special on their next birthday/Christmas/anniversary, but never end up giving it? I know I do. So instead of having these gifts laying around taking up valuable makeup space why not have a present swap party!
Like how you get together with your girlfriends and swap clothes that you no longer wear or want, this is the same idea. The rules are simple;
- Invite a bunch of people around to your place.
- Ask them to all bring an unwanted Christmas gift to a certain value, and make sure it is wrapped up.
- Give everyone a number – 1 to how ever many people are there.
- Person #1 gets to select a gift and unwraps it.
- Person #2 then gets to either pick the unwrapped (#1) gift or select another wrapped gift.
- Continue on with each new person either selecting an unwrapped gift or a wrapped gift.
- Once you get to the end of the numbers, start again with anyone who does not have a gift and continue until all gifts are unwrapped.
The rules are just guides, you can add whatever you like or even just simplify it even more. Its up to you, it is your shindig!
Its a good excuse to get together with some friends and have a few drinks and nibbles. And you may just get something you love!
Thanks to Brian Worley for the idea
