Come and have fun celebrating the holiday season. The rules are below in case you haven’t been before. 🎁 White Elephant Gift Exchange Rules (Simple & Clear)
1. Bring a wrapped gift worth up to 10€.
Funny, useful, quirky — anything goes as long as it’s under the limit.
2. All gifts go in one pile.
No shaking, squeezing, or peeking.
3. Draw numbers to see who goes first.
4. On your turn, choose or steal:
• Choose: Pick any unopened gift and open it.
• Steal: Take someone else’s opened gift instead.
5. If your gift gets stolen, you take a new turn.
You can open a new gift or steal a different one — just not the one just taken from you.
6. Each gift can only be stolen two times total.
After the second steal, that gift is “frozen” and can’t move again.
7. No stealing back immediately.
Keeps the game from turning into a duel.
8. The last person gets the best choice.
They can open the final gift or steal any unfrozen gift.
