Ideas for a Yankee Swap Limit $5.00

I wish all of us on this thread could get together and do our own Yankee Swap! :D
 
I do too! We're having a party soon, I was thinking of asking guests to do one....but it really works better in an office or with a family, I guess?
 
We have been doing this for the last few years, as our family is quite large. The limit is $5, and each person brings some type of Christmas ornament as a gift.. Each year our family has a theme. Last year it was a Grinch theme, and this year was a Nightmare before Christmas theme. We all try to dress accordingly. We do potluck. It's lots of fun!

I like your ideas on the theme. Do they bring an ornament and a gift? Potluck and the swap. I think we are starting some new holiday traditions next year!

What good ideas I am so glad I started this thread.
 
Cool, but how was the $20 found? Did he eventually at the end let the "winner" know to open the frame?

When the game was over he took the picture out of the frame and gave it to his girlfriend. He returned the frame and the $20 to the winner and to the laughter of everyone.
 
We just bring a wrapped ornament for the swap, no other gifts. Because I like to bake, I always bring a dessert, usually a cake decorated with something appropriate to the theme. My neice set the table for Nightmare before Christmas with black tablecloth, black candleabras, and red plates. Table decorations were a mixture of Halloween and Christmas. It was great!
