White Elephant Gift Exchanges are perfect for a cozy, casual Christmas get-together. With guests each bringing their own wrapped gift to the party, everyone is bound to walk away with something...stunning? You never know what you're going to get. Except a guaranteed good time relaxing and laughing with friends. Take some inspiration from this collection for hosting your own gathering.
- White Elephant Invitations: Something I just designed for my own white elephant gift exchange. Available by request at Lily Jane Stationery.
- Number tags by ormolu: Have everyone pick a number to determine who will choose their gift first. There's no reason the numbers can't be stylish.
- Churros with Spiced Hot Chocolate: Let guests pipe their own churros into the hot oil. These are fabulous!
- Black and White Gift Wrap: Free printable gift wrap from Martha. A nice twist on the traditional holiday wrappings.
- Popcorn and Fruit Strings: String plain, popped corn on a thread and hang it around the room for inexpensive, instantly warming party decor.
- Another adorable package via The Moms Buzz
- Porcelain White Elephant: This would be the perfect centerpiece for either the table where the gifts are collected or where the refreshments are being served.
I can honestly tell you that I've never been to a White Elephant gift exchange where anyone got anything this cool or had this much style. I love these ideas.
Maybe next year I'll get brave enough to host a WE get-together. Could be fun.
