White Elephant Gift Exchange Rotary Club of Omaha Morning

June 15,2024

Tuesday, December 19th we will be having a White Elephant Gift Exchange. If you are not familiar of what a white elephant gift exchange is, here is a brief run down. Participants will draw a number from a hat when you arrive to determine the gift choice order, starting with one, up to the total number of participants. Each person takes a turn choosing a gift. The first person picks a gift, opens it and shows it to the rest of the group. Then the person that drew number two can either pick an unopened gift or “steal” a previously opened gift. If the gift was “stolen,” the person who had their gift taken from them gets to choose another gift and then the turn passes to the next number. The gift exchange continues until all gifts have been opened. The person that drew number 1 also gets to go last. Here are a couple of simple house rules: Please bring a wrapped gift with a value of no more than $20 to participate. A gift cannot be “stolen” more than two times.
