WHITE ELEPHANT GIFT EXCHANGE
Our annual holiday party tradition includes a white elephant gift exchange. Everyone who brings a gift can participate.
Gift Guidelines
Any of the following make good white elephant gifts:
- Something a Toyota aficionado would like that's worth $25 or more
- Something fun/weird that you found in your basement or garage or a garage sale or a thrift store
- Usable Toyota parts that someone might actually want
- Tools
- Booze
We will have 2 groups of gifts this year on the tables:
- The adult-only gift group will be the place for gifts that contain booze, explosives, knives, ammo, lottery tickets, flame throwers, and other fun toys. You must be 21 years old or older to pick a gift from this group.
- The kid-friendly gift group will contain everything else. These gifts don't need to be for kids (in fact, most of them won't be for kids). This can include anything from a carburetor for a 2F engine to scented candles.
- Raffle tickets will be distributed to anyone who brought a gift. This determines order.
- Either choose gift or steal someone else's gift
- If your gift is stolen, you may open a new gift or steal a different gift
- Each gift can only be stolen once per turn
- Gift is locked down at 3rd steal and can no longer be stolen
