Over the holiday we had an extended family party and white elephant gift exchange. Here is my mother in law who received Mario Brothers "Love Dr." boxer shorts. In years past I would have DIED of embarrassment to see her open such a provocative gift, but we've seen quite a loosening of her morals these past few years and she appreciated the humor in the gift.
Here are a few of the clever gifts at our exchange: Aunt Heather brought a half eaten box of chocolates and a picture of Brinley with chocolate all over her face. Jenny brought an elaborately decorated pair of bedroom slippers with lace, bows and rhinestones. The were made of maxi pads. My dad found a super funny hat at DI, which Beverly actually liked and wore around the rest of the night. Jeff brought a rubber chicken, hand sanitizer and an article on avian flu. Jeremy brought a huge color picture of himself in front of a Christmas tree which he signed, "Best Wishes from Jeremy". My personal favorite gift (which I brought) was a pacifier tied with a note that read, "This note is to be read by Grandma Beverly or Grandma Connnie. Congratulations! You are going to be a Grandma again! Announcing baby Runia, due to be born July 2008. Love, Jenny and Jeremy" Jenny isn't expecting a baby, but it took a few minutes to straighten out the confusion and convince the Grandmas that this was a white elephant gift. Super fun times! I was more excited about these gifts than our real ones!
