> A gender neutral gift
> Wrapped in paper, or in a gift bag, or other appropriate box or tin.
> Costs between $10-$15.
>  
> Here is how the gift exchange works.
> Those who want to participate bring a gift as explained above.  If you do not want to play, stay for the fun and rowdiness that takes place.
> When you come in, you will place your gift on the “Gift Table”, and you will pick a number from the stocking.
> During the gift exchange as you open a gift, you have to describe the gift.
> When the gift exchange starts, the person with the number “1” goes to the table and picks a gift and opens it. 
> Next, the person with the number “2” can either select a gift from the table, or they can steal the opened gift from the first person. 
> If the first person’s gift is stolen, they selects a new gift from the table.
> Person number “3” can pick a gift from the table, or steel an open gift from the previous players. 
> If a gift is stolen from another person, they can pick a gift from the table, or steel from someone else.
> Play continues in this manner until everyone with a number has a gift.
>  
> Special rules
> When the person with the next number takes their turn, that marks the start of the next round.
> A gift can only be stolen once per round.
> If your gift is stolen, you must relinquish all parts of the gift.
> If you get a gift you do not want, or see an opened gift you really want, feel free to promote your current gift and encourage other players to take it.  Creativity and sales skills are a plus.  No guarantee that the gift you want will remain in your hands until the end of the game.
> While it is fine to sit quietly and help your gift keep a low profile to prevent it from being stolen, if you are asked what you have, you must describe the gift.
> Looking inside or squeezing unopened gifts before you have made your selection is  forbidden.  You can touch and lift the unopened gifts to help you make a choice.
