It finally got to the point where it was silly for our family to exchange gifts with each other at the holidays. So what we do now is bring a wrapped gift worth around $25, and have a Yankee Swap.
Yankee Swap Rules:The best part of this game is when you get to take a gift from someone who has already opened a gift and give them your crappy gift! This year I got a George Foreman Grill.
1) Everyone is assigned a number randomly. This defines the gift selection order.
2) Going in ascending order by number, each victim selects a gift (avoiding their own), opens it and then has the option of trading
it for any gift opened so far.
3) The first person may, after all gifts have been opened, trade their gift with anyone.
