Come one, come all, it’s that time of year again! You’ve heard of White Elephant, this year we’re starting the holiday season with “GREEN Elephant”! Let’s get together for our very first sustainable gift exchange!

We need to eat too, so bring an appetizer to share. Its friendsgiving!

Everyone will bring some kind of “green” gift, and we will draw numbers to see who picks the first gift. Every turn after, the next person can choose to pick an unwrapped gift or steal someone else’s!

You don’t have to be a grinch to get GREEN!

“Green” Elephant Rules:

* Each player brings one wrapped gift to contribute to a common pool
* Players draw numbers to determine what order they will go in
* The first player selects a gift from the pool and opens it. They will later have a chance to steal a gift at the end of the game if they want.
* The following players can choose to either pick an unwrapped gift from the pool or steal a previous player’s gift. Anyone who gets their gift stolen in this way can do the same – choose a new gift or steal from someone else. There is a maximum of 3 consecutive steals per turn. If there are 3 consecutive steals, the next player must choose a new gift.
* After all players have had a turn, the first player gets a chance to swap the gift she is holding for any other opened gift. Anyone whose gift is stolen may steal from someone else (as long as that person hasn’t been stolen from yet). When someone declines to steal a gift, the game comes to an end.
* A present can only be stolen once per turn, which means players who have a gift stolen from them have to wait to get it back.

Gift Restrictions:

* All gifts must be “green” in one of the following ways
* Re-gifted
* Sustainability related product
* Zero-waste / carbon neutral / etc.
* Local artisan product
* Organic foods
* Experiential gifts
* Newly purchased gifts should be under $20 in value. Re-gifts have no limit on value.
* Avoid common allergens
* No weapons, drugs, alcohol, or any other illegal items
