Whether you call it Dirty Santa, a Yankee Swap, or some other name, the group gift swap is a famous activity among many family members and groups of friends or coworkers. The shopping can be fun, or it can be stressful, and sometimes you leave with a wicked cool gift... or a really lame one. At least Raven understands when it comes to:
1. Searching for a gift.
2. Finding the perfect gift.
3. Arriving to the party.
4. Wondering which one is "that gift."
You know what gift I'm talking about. The gift that no one wants. That's right. It gets opened by some unfortunate pal and then they quickly hand it off to someone else who sighs in disappointment.
5. Picking your number.
6. Choosing the right gift.
Of course things shouldn't be based off of appearance, but when it comes to gift swaps, that's all you've got. When deciding which gift will be the lucky one, you need to consider shape and size. The smaller ones are generally gift cards, whereas the larger ones could be just about anything.
7. Deciding whether or not to swap your gift.
This is definitely one of the toughest decisions of them all.
8. Waiting to see if anyone will swap with you.
*Hides gift and lays low*
Gift swaps are fun, but surely they are nerve-wracking. One tip is to buy something that you'd want, that way, you know there is always one gift you'll like. Let's just hope that no one steals it from you...
