I LOOOVE this post, Chrissy!! I can’t decide which of these we wanna do! lol Hope none of my friends have seen this post… or we will all show up with the same stuff! 🙂
Thank you so much for these! My family will get a kick out of these but which one to choose!!??
Oh my goodness I can’t help but laugh at these!!! Sooooo funny! Great round-up girl! xox
Thanks for featuring my fish & chips!
The rules at our party was to NOT spend money but to just bring something you already had at home, but weren’t using. The hubby and I went and bought a bag of adult diapers, opened the package, pulled out one diaper and wrapped up the package. It was a hit! 😀
A individually wrapped tea bag with google eyes added to it is perfect for that Techi IT person in your family. IT= eye tea 🙂
Some of the ideas you’ve brought up here are really creative. White elephant gifts at their best! I love how you come up with the snowman poop idea. Maybe I’ll try it this year 🙂
We have a toilet plunger that continues to be gifted so this year I am turning it upside down and adding leaves and flowers for a redneck bird bath.
A quick gift in a pinch is a pair of tube socks with “Right” and “Left” drawn across the toes.
No worries if there’s a hole. .pPlace them in a zip lock withe the heading Sunday Socks because they’re “Holy”
Hi Janine! Those are both such great ideas! Thanks for sharing and thanks for reading!!! Xoxo
