Ornament / Present Ornament Exchange

This is an idea for a present or ornament exchange...
and an ornament exchange is a wonderful idea...
whether a get together at home or office party.
Before party...wrap a large empty box to serve as the anchor for the display you're gonna set up......this also acts as a really pretty centerpiece....
Cut a long ribbon for each guest you're expecting...then attach a number to each of the ribbons. Put the same amount of numbers on a seperate piece of paper in a container and set aside..
As guests arrive, tie a numbered ribbon to each of the packages. Have guests select a number from the container, (be sure its not the same number you just assigned to their gift). Set the boxes and bags around the large wrapped empty anchor box. Position the ribbons so their numbers are visible...
When you're ready to begin the ornament or gift exchange, have each guest look for their number in the centerpiece and follow the ribbon to the gift. Then have each person in turn to unwrap their new ornament...

  1. Very good idea CC. We always just write the number on a piece of paper and throw them in a box and pick them...lol.
