Candy mixture. We had a pie pan (that came with a homemade apple pie) at ours last year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-elephant-gift#post-2371595 Sat, 28 Nov 2015 12:55:52 +0000 runnerd 2371595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hickory Farms summer sausage gift set is always a big hit at ours.</p> <p>Or maybe a candy grab bag if you are worried about having a gift the 7 year will also like. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-elephant-gift#post-2371592 Sat, 28 Nov 2015 12:49:08 +0000 reverie 2371592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ugh this is what my family does and I haaaaaate it. Ours ranges from my 24 year old cousin to my 60+ aunts and uncles and parents. I would so much rather draw a name. The first year we did it, people basically handed each other $25 cash in different ways (like suck in the middle of jello as an example). The past few years are about 60% booze and some random stuff.</p> <p>To switch it up this year I got someone an awkward family photo day calendar and a gary larson book b/c I always appreciated far side and I think they pair well together. I got someone else the cards against humanity starter pack, my family is pretty crude and I could see this being a hit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-elephant-gift#post-2371588 Sat, 28 Nov 2015 12:30:20 +0000 youboots 2371588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My MIL is hosting our big family Christmas the Sunday before and is doing a white elephant exchange. It is $20 or less and a 13 and 18 year old boy and 7 year old girl will be participating. Normally I would just bring a bottle of booze but obviously that won't work. We need to bring 2 items. I was thinking an adult coloring book and pencils, but I'm not sure. I could also make a wine cork trivet. Any ideas?</p> <p>I've only done it once and I brought home some C&amp;B appetizer plates I still use. </p>
