Shopping for friends, family and coworkers may be difficult, and it’s easy to slide into a rut during the holidays. However, there is no need to resort to gift cards: We have some brilliant gift exchange ideas to help you purchase or make presenting gifts easier and more entertaining. Whether you’re celebrating in person or in distant places, these Christmas gift exchange ideas can work for any party.
Indulge in a Luxury of Bubbly
A champagne gift basket is a classic choice that works for any occasion, whether it’s a holiday gathering with friends, family, or colleagues. Perfect for gift exchanges like Secret Santa or holiday celebrations, a champagne gift basket brings an element of luxury to the festivities. You can personalize it with a price limit that fits your group, and each participant can surprise their recipient with a beautifully curated basket featuring premium champagne and gourmet treats.
Yankee Swap
In a Yankee Swap, each person buys one nice, quality gift (at or below a certain price) and wraps it, keeping it a secret. On the day of the exchange, everyone draws a number, and each number corresponds to the order in which people may select their gifts. First person decides, then second, etc. Recipients can choose to steal one of the open gifts from someone who went before them (those who had opened one get a new one) or open a new one.
White Elephants
In a White Elephant gift exchange, you might set a rule for the gifts. Gag presents, humorous gifts, gifts under $25—it’s a hilarious exchange. White Elephant gifts can be anything (again, under a stated price restriction) from stuff you already own and no longer desire to the craziest things you can locate at the store—something another person might genuinely want or be able to use. You can exchange your gift, but you accept the risk.
Decide On A Topic
Depending on who you’re exchanging gifts with, you can buy gifts for everyone or follow Secret Santa or Yankee Swap regulations. Everyone buys gifts that fit a theme. The framework is up to you. Pick a theme everyone can support, or have everyone propose a theme and draw one out of a hat. If you’re celebrating in different cities, this could make mailing gifts more fun.
Scavenger Hunt
Gift-based scavenger hunts bring out your inner child. Buy and wrap tiny to medium-sized gifts for your group. Hide presents at someone’s house. You can do a basement, backyard, or complete house. Once everyone finds a gift, have them open it in one room, one at a time or all at once. Be inventive when distributing gifts, and if you’re participating, think like a child.
Gift -Giving In Rhythm
Musical chairs for gifts. You may do this a couple different ways once everyone buys and wraps a gift under the limit. Place gifts under chairs and have everyone switch until the music stops. The gift under the chair you’re sitting in is yours. Or, you might distribute gifts in a circle until the music stops, and whatever gift is in your hands is yours. Set a festive vibe with your Christmas playlist.
Craft Camp At Friend’s Home
Schedule a basket-making party at a friend’s residence, where you will all celebrate with confetti showers. Everyone will create a basket with quality additions. You can fill your hamper with snacks, wines, cookies, and other home-selected helpful goods. Later, these assorted Christmas Wine Baskets will be distributed with the aid of names in a bowl that have been jumbled.
Charity Swap For The Recipient
A charity swap works for employees, friends, and family. Instead of buying and packaging gifts, everyone can draw names and donate to a charity of the recipient’s choice, enabling everyone to give back. This is another alternative for long-distance celebrations because you don’t need to be together.
Handmade Cookies-Swap
A cookie trade is another possibility, especially in the office. Instead of buying gifts, have everyone create (or buy) and bring in their favorite cookie recipe. Bring your own container for Christmas leftovers. If you’re celebrating long distance, set up a postal system so everyone sends cookies to each other.
