Gift Exchange

Howdy Nerds!

Today is my Sci-fi Annual Christmas Party, and we do some similar to the chinese Gift Exchange but we called it " Ferengi Gift Exchange" 

Here are some the of the rules of the event. 

1.     “What if I don’t want to participate, for whatever reason and you can’t make me ‘cause you aren’t the boss of me!”  If you do not wish to participate, there is no pressure there.  You are free to talk amongst yourselves or heckle those as they wrestle one another for gifts.

2.     The value of the gift you bring should be between $15 to $20, and should be something someone would actually enjoy receiving.  This is NOT a White Elephant event.  Please make sure it is something everyone would appreciate.

3.     That being said, please remember we have young ones so nothing that would cause them to seek therapy for years to come.( This an be removed if you want to be adult only) 

4.     Bring your gift wrapped or in a gift bag. Got to person in charged and he/she will give you a number to participate.

5.     As Amy Pond once said “Here’s where it gets complicated…”

Once the gift exchange starts, we will draw numbers from a hat.  The person with the first number drawn goes up and may choose any gift on the table that they want.  You must open it at that time for all to see.  If you really like it, you may elect to pay $1 to INSURE the gift against theft by the others.  If you are hoping for a possible trade later on, please be seated.

The next person whose number is drawn has the option to either select from the unopened gifts or if they really like your gift, and it has not been insured, they may steal it from you.

The person who has their gift stolen may then either choose from the unopened gifts or steal someone else’s gift.  *A gift may only be stolen *TWICE**.

This process will continue until all the gifts have been opened and finally claimed

Now the money we earn from "insurance" goes to out Adopted Family. But you can choose what to do the money,give it to a Charity, make a prize for a gift, keep it.. 

Let's us know your Christmas Party games and present swamping.

Stay Geeky
