Everyone loves an espresso martini, and this kit from Uncommon Goods makes it easy to craft them in the comfort of your home. Just add liquor. Whether or not you already know the rules of a white elephant gift exchange, a refresher is always merited. Before the exchange portion (typically presented at a holiday party), there is an agreed-upon value or amount to spend on any one item. Gifts are usually kept within a specified budget, creating a level playing field. Once everyone is gathered, you draw numbers to determine the order in which participants will choose a gift. The first person selects a gift from the pile and opens it, revealing the prize to the group. Now, here’s where the fun begins: The subsequent participants have the option to either choose a new, wrapped gift from the pile or “steal” an already opened gift from a previous participant. The “stealing” adds an exciting twist to the game. If someone’s gift is taken, they then get to choose a new gift from the pile or “steal” another opened gift, creating a cascade of friendly competition and strategic moves. Some variations include limits on how many times a gift can be stolen or “frozen” (protected from further stealing). The game continues until everyone has had a turn, leaving you with a collection of unique and entertaining gifts. Sound fun? It’s even better when everyone wants to steal the gift you brought.
