You guys, have you jumped on the charcuterie bandwagon yet? If not, you are missing out. They are literally the perfect solutions for all things. Ok, maybe not ALL things…but pretty darn close. Charcuterie boards are so popular right now I had to do a fun gift idea with one, and I’m not sorry. This cute charcuterie board gift idea for Christmas makes a perfect and simple gift. It’s especially great for anyone trying to avoid so much sugar during the holidays.

Charcuterie Board Gift Idea for Christmas:

Isn’t this so fun and festive? I love gift ideas that can be adjusted to accommodate any budget and this is a perfect example. I picked this charcuterie board up at my local grocery store for around $10, but they had lots of smaller ones for less money. I also love this idea for a co-worker or even a boss. It’s perfect as is or you can easily add a gift card.

What I love most about this charcuterie board gift idea is that it’s not sugar. The holidays are usually filled with so much junk food (which is usually not a complaint over here) so adding something a little healthier is nice. And because so many people are doing some kind of hosting around the holidays a charcuterie board will come in handy for a little something extra to serve.

Shopping List:

• Charcuterie Board
• Ribbon
• Printable Tag

That’s it…so simple!

Let’s print the tag and get you on your way.

Simply right click and save it, open in a program like Word or Pages on your computer, then size how you want, and print.

Or I have a page all ready for you to print with several tags that are different sizes on it.

Have Fun giving this charcuterie board gift.

Are you planning any holiday parties yet? You know it’s coming so I’m here to help make your party a little simpler.

Bingo makes a perfect party game because it’s so simple and most everyone knows the rules. I have done more class parties for my kiddos than I can count and bingo has always been my go to! All you need to do is print these cute bingo cards and you are ready.

Printable Christmas Bingo:

Bingo is so simple to play and because it’s full of cute pictures, it’s perfect for all ages. All you need to do is to print the bingo cards and cut them in half (I have two per page). And print the draw cards and cut them so you can draw one at a time.

Supplies Needed-

• Christmas Bingo Boards (available to print at the bottom of this post for free)
• Bingo Draw Cards (available to print at the bottom of this post for free)
• Candy or marshmallows to cover the squares
• Bowl or container for draw cards
• Prizes for winners (optional)

Let’s review the rules-

• Give each player a Christmas bingo card. I have 10 different cards so you can have up to 10 players.
• Give each player some place markers. You can use marshmallows or any small candies.
• Put all of your draw cards in a bowl (or anything that holds them).
• Have one person in charge of drawing cards. That person will draw one card at a time and hold it up so the players can see the picture. If a player has a match on their boards they place a candy over the picture.
• Keep drawing cards until a player gets bingo which is 5 covered spaces in a row (horizontal, vertical or diagonal). When a player gets a bingo that player calls out “BINGO.”
• Another variation is to play “Blackout” which is when a player gets all of their pictures on their boards covered. It’s fun to do a couple of rounds of bingo and then go for a blackout.

All we have left is to print the bingo cards and boards. And all you need to do is click and print.

Print Here: Printable Bingo Boards

Print Here: Bingo Draw Cards

If you are planning a party for more players than 10 players, I suggest you split the kiddos into smaller groups. I have some other fun printable games you can check out.

Pro Tip: Laminate the bingo boards and draw cards so you can use them for years to come.

You are all set! I hope you have an amazing and fun Christmas party!

Every year I host my family Christmas party. It has become one of my very favorite traditions of the season, I love it so much. This year I decided to add this stocking stuffer gift exchange game and let me tell you…it was a BLAST!!! Seriously, my whole family absolutely loved it and we have decided to keep this new tradition at our party.

I can’t wait to tell you all about it.

Stocking Stuffer Gift Exchange:

This game was played at my family Christmas party which included my extended family, 19 people in total. That’s one of the perfect things about this idea is that it can work for any group, any size, any age.

For our party I wanted my family to choose one of their favorite items or something that represents themselves. They were asked to bring 19 of the same item, wrapped with no names. Because it was a family party I didn’t feel like we needed to set a price limit, people were free to spend whatever they wanted. But depending on your group, you may want to consider giving a price limit.

I did a favorite things theme, but you can choose to ask your guests to bring any type of gifts. Just consider who your guests are and what works best for them.

Theme Ideas:

• Candy/Favorite Treat
• Funny Gifts
• White Elephant (Anything They Want)
• Cosmetics (Maybe a Favorite)
• Most Bizarre or Random
• Drinks

Really just decide who your guests are and what you want to end up with at the end of the game. I had 19 people involved in this gift exchange so I’m not sure we would have wanted 19 pair of socks or 19 funny gifts. So the favorite things worked great because we got a little of everything.

So how to actually do the exchange part.

First, you will need a stocking to put all the gift in. You can get stocking from the dollar store if you are looking to keep things more cost effective. Because I was doing this for my family, I didn’t mind investing in stockings that will hold up for years because we will use them for many years to come.

I found these cute stockings on Amazon. You can order your own here (affiliate link).

Cute Stockings From Amazon

Don’t forget that you need your stockings labelled. I found these cute tags on Amazon as well and they worked perfectly.

Gift Tags From Amazon

Gift Exchange Ideas:

Once you have the perfect stockings, it’s time to get them set up. Just lay them out somewhere that they are accessible. When your guests come to the party have them discreetly put their items in the stockings, one per stocking.

After all of the guests have had a chance to put their gifts in the stockings, it’s time to get to the exchange part.

Circle up, give everyone their stockings and it’s time to start to open the gifts. Start with everyone finding the same shaped gift so everyone is opening the same thing at the same time. Once the gift is open everyone gets to guess who brought that gift. See if people can guess who would have brought that item. Once you choose the gift giver, it’s time to move on to the next gift. It’s really such a fun way to do a gift exchange and I promise you will love it.

Here are some of the things my family brought at our fun Christmas gift exchange.

You can see that we had a large variety of gifts. It was really fun to see what everyone brought. But the best part is all of the laughing. We laughed the whole time we were opening gifts, it was such a fun addition to our Christmas party.

Add this fun stocking gift exchange at your next Christmas party and I promise you’ll thank me. Seriously so fun!!

Have FUN with this gift exchange game.

After the hustle and bustle and business of Christmas, I love to celebrate New Year’s Eve because it’s a chance to slow down and really enjoy being with our families.

And is there anything better than New Year’s Eve food? Or New Year’s Eve games?

It’s really a very fun night and whether you love to stay up until midnight or if you’d rather play some games and then call it a night, these New Year’s Eve minute to win it games are a fun way to celebrate because they are perfect for all ages!

So no matter who you plan to celebrate with, check out this list of game ideas and get ready to have a blast!

New Year’s Eve Minute to Win It Games:

Here are a handful of fun NYE party games. Pick and choose which ones sound fun to you!

New Year’s Toast:

This minute to win it game is super easy!

Supplies Needed:

• Bottle of Martinelli’s
• Glow Sticks

How to Play:

Set the bottle on the floor and then draw a line many feet away. Wrap the glow sticks into circles. Each player must stand behind the line and toss the glowsticks and try to ring the bottle. The person who rings the most wins! For a fun twist, you can turn out the lights so that the glow sticks are glowing while you play if you’d like!

Midnight Kiss New Year’s Eve Minute to Win it Games:

It’s a tradition to kiss at midnight right? This fun game is all about kissing.

Supplies Needed:

• Blindfold
• Lipstick
• Poster with a face

This one is maybe not quite a minute to win it game, but it’s still fun. Play this like pin the tail on the donkey but instead of a donkey, you’ll want to make a poster with a face on it. Blindfold each player, put lipstick on their lips and let them try to plant the midnight kiss. The person who kisses closest to the lips wins!

Watch the Ball Drop:

Watching the ball drop is another timeless tradition for the last night of the year, so this game is themed around that.

Supplies Needed:

• Blindfold
• Ping Pong Balls
• Hat (if you don’t have a hat you can use a bowl. A hat just felt festive for the New Year holiday.)

Have the player stand on a chair and blindfold that player. The player has one minute to drop as many balls as possible and try to land the in the hat. The player with the most balls in the hat at the end wins!

Party Blower Races:

Grab your party blowers and get ready to race!

Supplies Needed:

• Party blowers
• Paper cups

Starting at one end of the table (or you can do this on the floor if you’re agile enough), get two players ready. When you say go, they’ve got to use the party blowers to push a cup from one end to the other. The first one to cross the finish line wins! If you’ve got kids doing this, put them on the floor and make them go a long ways! It will be fun!

Dress Up for the Holiday:

Finally, why not get a little crazy with these New Year’s Eve minute to win it games?! This one is nutty.

Supplies Needed:

• Party hats
• Glow sticks
• Goofy glasses
• Party Blowers

The idea behind this one is just to get a little crazy. Have your players dress up in a party hat, glasses (they’re just to add to the look-they aren’t really part of the game), and give them a party blower. Just like the others, draw a line and have the first player stand behind that. Have your other player (the one dressed up) across the room. The player behind the line has one minute to toss the ringed glowsticks while the second player has to try to catch them either on their hat or on their blower. The team with the most after one minute wins!

Hope these New Year’s Eve minute to win it games making your night a blast!

Gift exchange games seem to be a staple during the holidays, and there’s a reason for it! They are super simple and such a blast to play, making them perfect for any Christmas party. I love them because they really don’t take much planning or really any time to throw together. So in a season where time is limited, consider this simple gift exchange game for your next party.

Simple Gift Exchange Game:

So there are so many fun gift exchange games out there, but this one is one of the basics! If you are looking for a fun variation, I have some ideas for you.

10 Fun Christmas Gift Exchange Parties

Let’s talk about how to play this one, it’s so simple and fun we know you will love it!

How to Play-

Before the party, let your guests know they need to come with a wrapped gift. This is where you can make some choices about what type of gifts you want to see. You have some options with the instructions you give your party guests. Some options might include…

Gift Exchange Ideas:

• White Elephant Gifts (Random and Funny Gifts)
• Gifts Set at Certain Price Points (All Gifts Must Be Under $10)
• You Could Choose a Theme (Socks, Ornaments, Candy, Funny Gifts)
• “Favorite Things” (Everyone Brings One of Their Favorite Items)

Make sure they know to bring wrapped gifts, we don’t want any peeking! We would recommend having an extra gift or two just in case one of your guests forgets to bring one. We want everyone to be able to play and go home with a present.

When you are ready to start, have all your party guest sit in a circle after placing their gifts in the center. Guests can sit on chairs or floor, whatever you think works best for your peeps.

Once everyone is gathered, it’s time to decide who gets to start. Again, you have some options…

• Decide Who Has the Next Birthday and Start With Them
• Go According to Age (Youngest to Oldest)
• You Could Have Each Guest Take a Number When They Come to the Party

So let’s say you are playing according to birthdays. You would choose the player with the nearest birthday to the current date. That player gets to pick any present from the pile. Once they choose, they unwrap the present and place it in front of them so other players can see it. Their turn is over. The next chronological birthday is determined and that player is next.

Now they have two options. They can choose a gift from the pile and unwrap it just like player one, or they can steal player one’s gift. If they steal player one’s gift, they take it and place it in front of them. Player one will then take another gift from the pile and unwrap it.

Player three is determined by birthday date and they will repeat this process. But they can steal from player’s one or two, or they can choose a gift from the pile. This process is repeated with each player.

The only catch to this system, is that a gift can only be stolen 3 times. On the third steal it can no longer be taken, so the player who stole it on the third time gets to keep it.

The stealing is where this game gets good. There are ALWAYS a few key gifts that everyone wants and are willing to scheme to get it. It makes the game super fun. If you are playing with younger kiddos, just make sure they know their gifts might get stolen so there are no surprises or hurt feelings.

That’s it folks. I promised simple and it doesn’t get easier than this. It’s a perfect game for any group. I have played it a lot with our church youth group and it’s seriously so fun. I hope you have a blast.

Have Fun playing this super simple gift exchange game!

Baby It’s Cold Outside

Supplies Needed:

• Lots of Extra Clothing (Hats, Gloves, Scarves, Coats, Boots…Anything Will Work)

How to Play:

Give the player a pile of clothing. When the time starts, the player will have one minute to bundle up with all of the extra clothes. The trick to this game is giving the players enough extra clothing to make it difficult. Like a couple of coats, several pairs of gloves. If you are playing with younger children, do less clothing.

Oh Christmas Tree

Deck the Halls

Supplies Needed:

• Playing Cards
• Solo Cups

How to Play:

Start with your cups stacked with a card in between each layer. When the time starts, the players will try to unstack the cups by pulling the cards out from each layer. When the player has successfully stacked their cups back together without the cards in between, that player wins. If the cups fall (which they will), the player can stack the cups with the cards again and restart.
