Well, in my college dorm Christmas gift exchange. One of my roommates put in a pair of really goofy looking slippers with big floppy ears on them. Another roommate brought a box of really strong - smelling cheese. When the exchange happened, the guy who got the slippers was a bit embarrassed at first but then started wearing them and doing a little dance. The girl who got the cheese was horrified at first because she didn't like cheese much, but then we all decided to have a little cheese - tasting party with crackers and wine, and it turned into a really fun and noisy event.
At a local club's Christmas event with a gift exchange, a woman brought a big box that she said was a mystery gift. When it was opened, it was a life - size cardboard cutout of a famous actor. One of the guys there got it and he was so excited. He started posing with it and taking selfies. He even named it 'Brad' (after the actor). The whole room was in stitches watching him have so much fun with that unexpected gift.
Sure. In a community Christmas gift exchange, a man brought a huge, old - fashioned radio. It was big and bulky but worked perfectly. During the exchange, a young girl got it. At first, she was a bit disappointed, but then she realized it was like a time - traveling device. She started tuning into old radio stations and found some really cool Christmas music from decades ago. Everyone gathered around her, and we all had a great time listening to the music and sharing stories about how radios used to be a big part of Christmas in the old days.
At my family's Christmas gift exchange last year, my cousin got a present that was supposed to be a nice coffee mug. But when he opened it, it turned out to be a mug with a really strange face printed on it. It was so ugly that it was actually funny. He couldn't stop laughing and said it was the most unique gift he'd ever received. And now, that mug has become a bit of a joke in our family.
Sure. There was this Christmas white elephant gift exchange. One person brought a pair of bright red, fuzzy dice. When the exchange started, a very proper old lady picked them up by mistake. Everyone burst out laughing. Then a young man, who was a bit of a joker, stole them from her. She was a bit shocked at first but then started laughing too when she saw how amused everyone was.
Sure. One year at our office Christmas party, we had an exchange gift event. I got a beautifully wrapped box. When I opened it, there was a warm, hand - knitted scarf. It turned out that a colleague's grandmother had made it. It was so special as it carried the love and care of an elderly person I'd never met. That scarf became my favorite accessory during the cold winter.
Sure. At our office gift exchange last year, Tom got a huge box. He was so excited, thinking it might be something big and fancy. When he opened it, it was a collection of funny cat mugs. Each mug had a really goofy - looking cat on it. Tom loves cats but was still taken aback by the sheer quirkiness of the gift. He ended up using one of the mugs every day at work, which always made everyone laugh.
Once, at our office Christmas party, we had a gift exchange. I drew a name and got a co - worker who was really into fitness. I found a nice set of resistance bands as a gift. When it was time for the exchange, the person who got my gift was so excited. It was a box of gourmet chocolates. They said they were having a rough week and that chocolate was just what they needed. It was a simple but really fun exchange that made the Christmas spirit even stronger at work.
Once upon a Christmas, we had a left - right gift exchange. Everyone sat in a circle. We started with a simple rule: when the story said 'left', you passed the gift to the left, and 'right' meant passing to the right. As the story unfolded, there was chaos and laughter. One person got a really small gift that looked like a joke item, and they were so surprised when it ended up in their hands.
Surprise elements. For example, if someone expects a serious gift like a book but gets a huge pair of clown shoes instead. It's the unexpectedness that makes it funny.
Sure. In a small office Christmas party, everyone brought a wrapped gift. They put all the gifts in a big box. Then, one person started by randomly picking a gift from the box. After that, the next person could either choose a new gift from the box or 'steal' the gift the previous person had picked. If a gift was stolen, the person who lost it could choose another gift. This passing of gifts created a lot of laughter and friendly competition.
Sure. One year at my office Christmas party, we had a gift exchange. I brought a nice coffee mug set. When it was my turn, I stole a really cool book from someone else. But then later, another colleague stole the book from me and left me with a box of scented candles. It was a fun and unexpected turn of events.
Well, in my office, we did an exchange gift thing. I picked a small box. Inside was a set of nice pens. They were not just ordinary pens but had some unique designs on them. The person who gave it said they saw them and immediately thought of me because I love writing. It was a simple but very thoughtful gift.
