this is so weird. i am having a party,too and i want to have a gift exchange! i really want a creative way to do it, so i asked my mom. she told me that as everyone walks in, give their present a number. (a piece of tape on the paper is fine) then, when everyone is ready, put a bunch of numbers in a hat and mix them up. let everyone pick a number and number one goes first and they get present number one. (and so on and so on) hope it helped! ~*~*Lynne*~*~

everyone sits in a circle and starts out holding the present they bought. one person reads a story, and every time they say LEFT you pass the present to the left, everytime they say RIGHT, you pass it to the right. at the end of the story the one you have in your hands is the one you keep! here's an example of like a story...
Mr. WRIGHT was to take Mrs. WRIGHT RIGHT to the store to do some of her holiday shopping. As he LEFT in the car, he turned RIGHT out of the driveway. He had to go RIGHT back as he LEFT without Mrs. WRIGHT. They both got in the car on the LEFT side as the RIGHT side door would not open. Mr. and Mrs. WRIGHT again LEFT for the store, turning RIGHT out of the driveway. An argument occurred about the RIGHT turn as Mrs. WRIGHT said that Mr. WRIGHT should have turned LEFT. Mr. WRIGHT kept insisting that he was RIGHT, but Mrs. WRIGHT kept insisting that the nicer department store was on the LEFT. Two blocks away after another LEFT turn they discovered they had LEFT the credit cards at home. So, they made a LEFT turn, then a RIGHT to go back home to where they had LEFT the credit cards. As they turned RIGHT on to their street and LEFT into the driveway, Mrs. WRIGHT said "Let's just stay RIGHT here and shop for the RIGHT gifts over the internet". They went LEFT into the kitchen to make the RIGHT cup of eggnog. Then they went RIGHT into the living room where Mrs. WRIGHT turned to her LEFT and said to Mr. WRIGHT, "I hope they have some good stuff LEFT."

You put all the presents on a table. Everyone draws #s.
Number one picks a present and is stuck with it. Number two goes next, and can trade with number one. number one has to trade eve if they don't wat to. Then number 3...
Let me know if i confused u.

i'm not sure if this is a game but one time i participated in what i think was called chinese auction or something. anyway, you pick numbers out of a hat to decide who picks a present first. then the first person to pick a present from the pile picks theirs and unwraps it and shows it to everyone else. the second person can choose to pick another one out of the pile or take the one from the first person. then when its the third person's turn, they can choose to get a new present or take one from the first or second person. the next person can choose another gift or the gift from the first, second, or third person and so on...you get the point. the only thing is that the first person always gets cheated. i'd suggest maybe the first 3 or 4 people get to go at the end. have fun at your party!

I have an idea!
Have each person bring a gift, then let everyone hold a gift. Put everyones name in a hat at least twice, and pull out one name at a time. So it goes like this:
You pull the name out of the hat and its "Bill" so now bill gets to trade gifts with anyone else in the room. Then you pull out another name and lets say its "Bob", so Bob gets to trade gifts with anyone else...This goes on until you have gone through every name in the hat... in theory everyone will have a different gift in their hands than the one they started out with.
Love,
Kate
