White Elephant Exchange Gift Tag

Are you doing a white elephant gift exchange this year? Our family does it every year, and we have so much fun with it.

Invite your guests and tell them to bring a wrapped white elephant gift. Be sure to set a dollar amount limit so that everyone’s gift is the same in value. Often these are gag gifts. (Our family doesn’t allow liquor bottles or gift cards; that’s too easy!)
Each gift should be wrapped. No name tag is needed on the gift, because you don’t yet know who will get it.
Have a designated place for the guests to place their white elephant gifts as they arrive.
Once you know how many gifts/guests there are, write numbers (For example, 1-15 if there are 15 guests) on individual slips of paper. Place each number in a bowl.
Each person draws a number from the bowl.
The player with number 1 gets to choose the first gift. They unwrap the gift in front of everyone.
The player with number 2 goes next. They can either choose the gift player #1 unwrapped or choose a wrapped gift.
If they choose player #1’s gift, player #1 gets to choose a new gift.
The unwrapping and stealing continue until every gift has been claimed.
Designate the number of times a gift can be stolen, usually 2-3 times.

Although gift tags on the gifts are not required, I have a cute White Elephant Gift Tag for you to download if you want to make your white elephant wrapping extra special.

Horse Butt Ornament Crochet Pattern

Horse lovers will be delighted with their favorite animal adorning their Christmas tree. This Horse Butt Ornament crochet pattern works up quickly using just a few yards of worsted yarn, so it’s a great stash buster. You can even add some fun fur or eyelash yarn to create the furry feet of a draft horse. Crochet a few in different colors to adorn your equestrian Christmas tree. Make a few for your horse-loving friends and family. Please post copies of your horses on my Instagram. How many horses of a different color can we all create?

Skill level: Easy

Finished measurement is approximately 4.5” tall.

Worsted weight yarn:
30 yards MC
10 yards CC
1 yard black
5 yards fun fur for draft horse
Size G (4.0 mm) crochet hook
Ribbon

Rnd 21: Lay flat and sc through both sides (turn if draft horse). 2 sc in first st, sc across, 2 sc in last st (10 sc).

Use black yarn to embroider line between legs from bottom up to Rnd 12.
