I am sooo excited !
This was my first White Elephant party I have been in years ! It was pretty fun... you know the rules? People bring a gift ( can be old stuff or new stuff ) you pick a number, when your called you pick a gift or take a gift you like from someone else. ( Vicious isn't it ? ) If you get a gift taken away from you then you pick another. Well, it goes on for a bit... but, it is fun. Some people got someones old books, or DVD's. There were candles, bath yummy's and a gift card for I Tunes. Which my son got, but then someone cold heart idly stole it from his hands.... ( mean I know ) J.K..
Well I was #5 out of 38... got myself a brand new purse with tags still on it.... wooo hoooo ! I needed it, and no one took it from me either
(The stuffed White Elephant in the photo is my daughters which she brought to the party.)
Well, remember when the person took the gift card from my son? He picked another gift... which was of no use to him. So, he generously gave it to me.... It was a vintage tin, inside were lovely antique/vintage linens
( a table top cloth and 4 napkins nicely pressed and in wonderful condition.)
There was also a little white ceramic loaf pan...perfect !!!
Right up my alley.....
I scored !!!!
Sounds like you were very lucky Mica!! I have never been to a White Elephant Party. Looks like I have missed out on a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteSomeone else told me about such a party (just this past week)--and sometimes quite a fight ensues!! Sounds like fun.
