When the holidays roll around, it’s the perfect time to invite your family, friends and a few neighbors over for a fun little get together. White Elephant Exchanges can be really fun and I thought why not make it charitable this year.

Instead of each guest bringing a gift to exchange, I thought everyone could bring something to donate to a needy family in the community.

Holiday parties can be simple and easy to put together. Gather some tasty snacks, great drinks and make a few calls to invite everyone.

Since this was a casual party, I set up my dining room table for the White Elephant Exchange Gifts. I added a simple table runner and added a fun centerpiece.  

Gift Ideas for Frito Lay White Elephant Charity Exchange Party from MissintheKitchen.com #ad

Great gift ideas for a White Elephant Charity Exchange:

  • A nice pan filled with a few nonperishable items for a nice dinner. You can also throw in a few kitchen towels and utensils.  
  • A nice basket filled with coffee, hot cocoa and a few coffee mugs also makes a thoughtful gift.
  • A set of games or toys for kids of all ages.
  • Hats and gloves or a stack of games is always a great idea for families.  
  • Even a bag filled with canned goods, such as hearty soups, broths, and vegetables or a box or two of pasta.  An extra bag of groceries can go a long ways during the holidays.  
  • Gift cards also make a great gift that can be used for anything.
