What fun! We used to do something like that at our family Christmas dinner. I still have the brake shoe that I came home with all those years ago -- and I wonder what the person did with the 50 lb. box of chocolate bars that was my gift
I'd love to have a gift exchange where the only $$ you could spend was the shipping. You could send any unused items that you have accumulated, and/or make stuff, but nothing that you bought specifically for the exchange.
