Below are the rules you need to get your white elephant gift exchange started:

1. Place wrapped gifts in the center of the room.
2. Each person draws a number.
3. Number one chooses a gift, unwraps it and puts it on display for all to see.
4. Each subsequent number has two options: steal an opened gift or choose an unopened gift.
5. If a gift is stolen, you may steal from another or choose an unopened gift.
6. Gifts can be stolen up to three times. A gift is ‘frozen’ with the fourth owner.
7. Once all numbers have had a turn, if number one has the same gift they started with, they may trade with any unfrozen gift.
8. That’s it! Often times families or groups will add variations to the rules above. Comment below with your variations!
