One activity could be a 'gentle restraint' race. Instead of using real BDSM restraints, use soft scarves. Tie one person's ankles gently with a scarf and they have to hop to the Christmas tree and back. It's a fun and safe way to incorporate a BDSM - like concept.
There could be a 'BDSM - themed costume' contest where people dress up as things related to BDSM in a very innocent way. For example, someone could come as a 'gentle knight' with a soft rope belt, representing the BDSM ropes in a non - sexual and fun way.
A 'command and obey' game. One person is the 'commander' for a short time and gives commands like 'dance like a snowman' or 'tell a Christmas joke'. Everyone else has to obey. This is a play on the dominant - submissive idea but in a family - friendly way.
At the office Christmas party, there was a BDSM - themed Secret Santa. Everyone was given a task related to a BDSM concept but in a very light - hearted and non - sexual way. For example, one person had to be 'bound' by wearing a scarf tied around their wrists for an hour. It was all in good fun and a unique way to add some spice to the traditional Christmas party.
The theme 'Lingerie and Empowerment' could work well. Women could share stories of how wearing lingerie makes them feel empowered, whether it's for a job interview to boost confidence or just for themselves. 'Lingerie and Travel' is another option. Here, the focus could be on lingerie that is suitable for travel, like lightweight and easily packable pieces. It would be about practicality and style, rather than anything sexual.
At the Christmas office party last year, we had a Secret Santa event. Everyone was so excited to exchange gifts. One colleague got a really cool coffee mug with their favorite cartoon character on it. And we also had a baking competition. The team that made the best gingerbread house won a gift card to a local coffee shop. It was a really fun and friendly event that brought the whole office together.
One unique activity could be a paint - and - sip session. The bachelorette and her friends can paint a picture while enjoying some wine. It's a great way to relax and be creative together.
At my office Christmas party last year, there was a Secret Santa exchange. One guy thought it would be funny to give his co - worker a box filled with coal as a joke. But the co - worker took it really personally and started crying, which made the whole atmosphere extremely awkward.
One wild office Christmas party story I heard was that the boss decided to have a karaoke competition. Everyone got really into it, even the shyest employees. There was one guy who sang a really off - key version of a Christmas carol but with so much enthusiasm that it became the highlight of the party. People were laughing and cheering him on.
At one office Christmas party, the boss decided to do a Secret Santa gift exchange. One guy got a huge box. When he opened it, there was a life - sized cardboard cutout of the boss with a speech bubble that said 'Work harder!'. Everyone burst out laughing, including the boss himself.
One bad office Christmas party story is that the boss got really drunk and started singing off - key very loudly. It was so embarrassing that many employees just left early. He was slurring his words and trying to give a speech in between his singing, but no one could understand what he was saying.
At one office Christmas party, there was a hilarious Secret Santa exchange. One colleague got a huge box filled with all kinds of gag gifts like a fake mustache and a whoopee cushion. Everyone had a great laugh as he opened it. Then we had a karaoke competition. The normally shy accountant belted out an amazing rendition of a classic Christmas song, which was really unexpected and made the party even more enjoyable.
A classic game like 'Musical Chairs' is always a hit. Set up chairs in a circle, play music, and when the music stops, everyone tries to sit on a chair. One less chair than the number of players makes it competitive. Another option is 'Two Truths and a Lie'. Each person shares two true statements and one false one, and the others have to guess which is the lie. It's a great way to get to know each other better.
