White Elephant

I love, love, love the idea of the white elephant. It goes like this: Instead of buying new gifts, you "shop" from the inventory of gifts you've received. This isn't just practical (and in keeping with the times), it's also a lot of fun! And that's how P, E, Kv, and I spent one breezy afternoon at The Swing.




With the help of Kv's high-tech phone with a dice option (I actually threw it one time mwahaha), we had fun "stealing" each other's gifts; the thought being the nicer the gift wrapper, the lovelier the gift.





I definitely went for the witty packaging, and ended up with a box of Ferrero Rocher and a salmon-colored, furry doormat.





Kv got all sorts of bags.




P got a "Love is Hell" shirt, a bottle opener, and a BenCab notepad (She already had one of those so now she has two! Mwahahaha).





E got a Martin Cruz Smith book (he immediately scanned the book for pictures, of which there were none bwahahaha), food containers, and L'Occitane stuff.

Not bad for so-called recycled gifts; I love it!
