Tis the season for Holiday parties. My favorite invite this year to receive not only once but twice is a party called “My favorite things”. If you haven’t been to one, you should start a new tradition as this is a different spin on the ever popular “White Elephant” game. I am sure this will be a party you will look forward to attending or hosting and making it an annual event.
Here are the Rules to hosting My Favorite Things:
- Send out an invite to all your besties, neighbors, new friends, family (you get the point)
- Set an amount of how many items each guest will bring of their Favorite thing (usually 5 items max of the same item)
- Set a budget for each item as it should not exceed $20 (shop smart ladies, as you can find great gifts on SALE)
- Save on wrapping paper as you will not want to wrap your gifts (the fun part is to see all the items displayed on the table with the hopes that your name will be called)
- Once you arrive to the party, you will write your name 5 times on a piece of paper and place in a large bowl (as a host you could type up each guests name 5 times prior to the event)
- Gather all your guests around your sitting area and mix your bowl of all the names with excitement
- Each guest will stand up and explain why this item is their favorite thing and will pick 5 names from the bowl (each guest should go home with 5 different items at the end of the night)
- I brought my favorite Cameron Choker Necklace from Stella&Dot (5 ladies were so excited to hear their name called and win the necklace
- Remember this is supposed to be super fun and sometimes loud and crazy (yes, we can all go out and buy these items for ourselves but winning them is part of the fun)
Here is the best part – I was able to find most of the items brought to the party and I added a few gifting ideas that you can easily click and shop below.
Enjoy!
Until the next Share
