(443 Words)
A white elephant gift exchange can be a great way to save money on Christmas and yet still make sure that everyone gets a special gift. Many offices do this as well as families. One fun idea is to make it have a certain theme. Try the following ideas.
Book gift
One nice theme can be to have it be a book gift. There are so many great books out there, and this might make it much easier for someone to find a gift. You will find something for almost everyone at a bookstore, and it might make it more convenient for someone to have a much more targeted search.
Fun foods gift
You can have a fun foods theme for your white elephant gift exchange. There are many great food items sold during the holidays, and a lot of people like to eat. You may want to have everyone list their food allergies and any dietary restrictions that they have so that the person buying the gift for them gets them something that is appropriate.
Alcohol
A lot of people like alcohol, and this can be the theme of your white elephant gift exchange. There are some requirements for this however. First you have to make sure that everyone drinks alcohol (if you have a recovering alcoholic in the group, then definitely avoid this idea). It might also not be appropriate for some exchanges at certain places of work.
Gift basket
You can also have a theme that everyone has to get a gift basket of some sort. Gift baskets are a lot of fun. Instead of getting one present you get a whole bunch. You can specify a type of gift basket or just let them take it from there. It can be something that they make themselves or something that they buy already pre-done.
DVDs
A lot of people like to watch television. You can have everyone get another person a DVD.
A gift related to your group/organization
If you are a part of a particular group, then you might want the theme of your 2010 Christmas white elephant gift exchange to go along with that. For instance, if you are part of a writing group then it might need to be a gift related to that like a nice pen. If you work at a science museum, then you might want something related to science.
No matter what theme you have for your 2010 Christmas white elephant gift exchange, you might want to make a range or cap on the amount people can spend so that the gifts are generally equitable. Consider the above themes when creating your exchange.
