Last week, I exchanged Christmas gifts with my friend. Have you guys exchanged gifts with others? If not, there are some interesting ways to play.
1. Normal way
The normal way is simple, first everybody prepares their present before the game starts. You guys can also limit the cost that purchasing present or set a topic of the present everyone has to buy. It can help everyone to decide what kind of present to buy. After fishing prepare gifts, everyone can draw lots to decide which gift you will get.
2. Exchange things that is useless for you
Are you worried about preparing a good gift, but after exchanging gifts, you get something that is useless or something you hate. It makes people feel upset when you get terrible gifts. Now we have a solution, try to exchange something that is useless for you. As the old saying: ”Somebody’s trash may be other’s treasure” . To play this game, everyone brings something that is useless for the gift to exchange. It not only can handle those things you will never use in your house, but also you don’t need to worry you will get terrible gifts.
3.Heaven gift and Hell gift
This way is very interesting. Everyone has to prepare two gifts; one is something that you prepare meticulously as heaven gift, another gift is something terrible like a pack of A4 paper as hell gift. Everyone will get two gifts after exchanging gifts. The most interesting part is that you won’t know you will get how many heaven gift or hell gifts. Someone is very lucky their gift may both is heaven gifts; In the other hand someone is unfortunately their gifts may both be hell gifts. So this way of exchange gift is very challenges one’s luck.
4.Secret Santa
If you are still afraid that you will get something you really dislike in Way 2. Try “Secret Santa”. Everyone will get a person before the game starts, you will be the secret Santa for the person you get. You have to prepare something that the one you get will like. And after everyone gets their own gifts, they have to open the gift in front of everyone and guess who your secret Santa is. If you guess right, your secret Santa will get a small punishment like dancing in front of everyone; but if you guess wrong you have to be punished. So prepare the gift carefully and do not let others know.
Here are some interesting ways to exchange gifts, give it a try for you and your friend you. But do not forget the most important things to exchange gifts that no matter how much you spend on the gift, as long as you prepared it meticulously it will be a terrific gift.
