Yankee Swap Rules

1. Bring a Wrapped Gift:
   Each participant brings a gift worth $20 or less. The gift should be wrapped and ready to be swapped!
2. Draw Numbers:
   Upon arrival, everyone will draw a number. This number determines the order in which people will select their gifts.
3. Select a Gift:
   The person with #1 selects and opens a gift first. Everyone after that takes their turn by either choosing a new gift from the pile or “stealing” an already opened gift from someone else.
4. Gift Stealing Rules:
   • If your gift is stolen, you can either select a new gift from the pile or steal from someone else.
   • A gift can only be **stolen **up to two times.
   • Once a gift has been stolen twice, it’s considered “locked” and cannot be stolen again.
5. The Final Twist:
   After everyone has had their turn, the person who drew #1 gets one last chance to steal a gift, if desired!
6. Keep it Fun & Lighthearted:
   The goal is to have fun and enjoy the holiday spirit! Quirky, humorous gifts are encouraged, but feel free to get creative with whatever you bring.
