  4. Gift exchange (aka White elephant game)
    • following the rule of the White Elephant gift exchange party game, each club member drew a number to determine the order in which he/she would be picking a wrapped gift
    • when your number is called, you could either pick 1 gift from the pile of gifts collected or steal a gift that was previously picked by someone else
    • the best part of the game is obviously the unwrapping after all had picked their gifts
