Ours isn't a crazy exchange, we're actually supposed to swap things people might actually want! Colorforms Big Foot dress-up kit?!?<br />I've done the crazy ones too, which are always fun. I remember one where I brought a Lamaze instruction video while someone else brought a box of assorted condoms.

Had to Google it only to find it's what we refer to as a White Elephant exchange. Did you write the follow up? I remember reading that the party was postponed to January so I'm guessing you didn't make the big reveal yet.<br /><br />We attend an annual party where they have one of these exchanges. I got an electric snow cone maker this year! My contribution was a giant colorforms Big Foot dress-up kit. (Our party calls for buying the craziest gifts you can find.) Oddly enough, it was a huge hit!Teehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10310967716776608408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168047058963833173.post-38223291072221054452015-12-13T12:28:46.055-07:002015-12-13T12:28:46.055-07:00Our party's Tuesday too.

Anyway, it's not a bad thing if you get other things accomplished while you're procrastinating. <br />As for yankee swap gift exchange ideas - probably not a good idea to re-gift the platter. Even though it's a really nice one (and untouched, I'm guessing). I never liked buying candles, or Christmassy kitchen towels, because that's what everyone buys, and because I like useful things. Having said that, I got no ideas for ya. :) ShadowRun300https://www.blogger.com/profile/12135867148518005153noreply@blogger.com
