S.
We do something similar to that also since our family has grown due to marriages and kids. We still get something for our parents and gifts for the kids. All the Adults do the Exchange. My dad doesn't like to see us spend money we don't have so we have to bring something in our house and wrap it up. Believe it or not we end up with nice things
and its usually something at someone else house collecting dust. I ended up with a Glass punch bowl one year, Mickey cookie jar ( I love Disney so that worked out). My husband usually trades for the Nascar stuff there a few in our group that loves those. Anyways its a scavenger hunt to find something of yours to take.
Another exchange I heard was everyone bring New Socks.
There are many different socks out there and some real fun.
Or woth all the gift cards everyone get a 20-25 gift card to anywhere. I bet that be interesting and some trading going on.
A few ideas who knows maybe someone else will have a idea.
I thought this could be interesting and something different.
