  • Special Kids Gift Exchange (bring one gift per kid)
  • Travel Bug Exchange Table

White Elephant Gift Exchange Specifics:

  • Ideas for gifts
    • a gift you received that just does not suit you!
    • something in your basement that you just do not want to throw away!
    • geocaching related items (ammo boxes, creative container, TOTT)!
    • gift card you have had sitting around for several years!
    • anything so hillarious that it's good for a laugh when opened!
  • Wrap the gift or place in a gift bag so it is unidentifiable.
  • Bring one gift per person
  • Kids welcome and will have a separate gift table with kid-approriate gifts (bring one gift per kid)
  • Rules
    • We will use the same format as in 2020.
    • Time limit to make your choice
    • Two choices - take an unopened gift OR steal a gift already opened
    • No touching unopened gifts
    • Only three steals per gift (third steal keeps gift)
    • All opened gifts must remain open and in full view
    • No steal backs on same turn

Covid Specifics:

  • We will adhere to ALL recommendations put forth by the City of Waukesha
  • At this time, we are limited to 95 participants - meaning those who sign up first get one of those 95 spots.
  • Be sure to bring a mask as we will be inside.
  • Rather than the usual potluck, Chili will be provided (Mac & Cheese for the kids) and will put out a box for donations to help offset the cost. All food items will be in individual containers to provide for contactless pick-up of items.
