Alternative to Secret Santa – Gift Grab
|
With the christmas season approaching us fast a hard decision that we face is choosing how gifts will be exchanged. With the large amounts of family, friends, and colleagues we have purchasing gifts for everyone can really get expensive. Thats where the Secret Santa game comes into play, it’s a fun way of exchanging gifts in any group size and means you only purchase one gift instead of many. The only problem here is that Secret Santa may get boring year in and out, hence we look at an Alternative to Secret Santa. Gift Grab: The premise here is simple to that of Secret Santa, each participating person will purchase one gift and will of course wrap it up. All of the participants then sit in a circle and the gifts are put into the middle. Numbered pieces of paper are put into a hat (one for each participant) and everyone picks a a number out (this will be the order they select gifts).
The first person then chooses a gift from the middle and opens it, this will possibly be the gift they end up with. The next person then is able to take the first persons gift or choose another from the middle. This process will continue with each person choosing a gift from the middle of previous participants. In the end each person will end up with a gift, even though you may not get what you want everyone ends up with a gift.
You can set rules which must be followed when purchasing this game, they of course will vary depending on the situation. Examples rules are:
- Gifts must be in specific price range (example: under $20).
- Gifts must be humorous or silly gifts.
- Gifts must follow a specific theme (example: christmas).
- Gifts must be eatable.
You just need to remember that christmas is a time for friends, family and even religion, gifts are just an added bonus and are not really needed to celebrate christmas. Thats why games like Secret Santa and the Gift Grab are great because they are cheap ways of exchanging gifts that bring the fun back into the christmas season.
