Is this too much of a cop-out? We are doing a gift-swap with my aunt/uncle/cousins again this year...

Posted by Andie Dec 2 '15, 06:07

previously we did it where people brought 5 gifts each (about $5 each) and we had a massive pile and a giant game. It was stupid in my opinion, but everyone else loved it. (i end up buying gifts from me, Dave and Dave's son so i ended up buying 15 gifts. Super annoying.)

ANYWAY! This year we are doing it in a restaurant, so I suggested that we do one $20-ish gift each, and everyone agreed.

I want to do (1) Movie theatre gift card, (2) Indigo, a book store, gift card and (3) maybe a lottery ticket pack.

is it lame if i don't bring actual 'things'? Personally, i would be happy with any of the above.

I'm a huge fan of gift cards. My dream Christmas is one where everywhere I go, I hand out envelopes and not presents. - Jim Dec 2, 06:27 3

I think your gift ideas sound good so, not lame. -- nm - Diva Dec 2, 06:10 2

- this. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 2, 06:12
not at all. Is it a Yankee Swap? cause you always need gift cards for those (and they are usually the ones people go for the most in my experience) -- nm - Beaker Dec 2, 06:08 1
- yep. swapping game. -- nm - Andie Dec 2, 06:09
