@sequin2000 we actually don't worry too much about the intergenerational thing due to the steal factor the way we play our version, so, I'd better explain that first. We put all the wrapped gifts in a big red fleece santa sack and have a giant dice that lives inside the sack all year until we get it out again so we can find it! So it's throw a six for a gift which gets opened and shown to everyone. Anyone throwing a one is entitled to steal the gift of their choosing from another competitor and so it goes on until the sack is empty. There is a version of the game where the gifts aren't opened until the very end but that wouldn't work for us simply because of the age spread. We do try to curate the gifts to peoples likes and interests if we can. It's really surprising what people "fight" over. One year here it was a selfie stick whilst the cash prizes were overlooked! Last year the adults loved the pack of descaler and a scrub Daddy - I kid you not. It's all VERY good natured though . To be fair, quite a few of the gifts are edible- e.g. a bag of percy pigs, a pack of jaffa cakes or box of maltesers. The teens especially seem to like these. I look out for bargains all year and just store them ready for wrapping. All adult guests bring five pounds worth ready wrapped too so either one decent thing for a fiver or a couple of bits from Primark or the pound shop. I then have a couple of cash prizes normally five and ten pound notes that get put in these little gold envelopes and wrapped alongside something else plus a couple of gift cards that get the same treatment. There's then lots of "oooh a golden envelope!" and generally the kids end up with them and the adults sort of "forget" about them when it's their turn to steal. I've just had a look at what I put in last year - obviously not complete as guests added their wrapped gifts to the sack too but this was our contribution - Bottle of Nando's sauce and a £10 Nandos gift card, a rice crispie bowl containing a mini pack of Rice Krispies, a black turbie towel [playfully fought over by a couple of hair dyers!], a packet of balloons, a sheet mask, trainer socks - mens/ladies & kids, hair bobbles. mens and ladies deodorant, a ten pound note in a little box inside a reusable folding shopping bag, a box of 5 pairs of fancy chopsticks [about 4 quid on Amazon], a dinosaur egg cup [one of the kids collects them], an ice towel, kids water bottle, a pocket size crossword and sudoku book with a Christmas scratchcard inside, a magic painting book and brush, a pack of zebra biros, Whot card game, a tube of jellytots, a pack of novelty drinking straws, a small bottle of hand gel, a fidget popper, a pack of Lindt mini santas, a car air freshener, shower gel, hot chocolate stirrer, Cadbury's mini egg recipe book [from the bargain thread - about 2 quid], nail stickers, magnetic tip screwdriver, lens wipes, high vis arm bands [joggers], lip balm, gaming socks, tin of Frozen spaghetti [ongoing family joke], a slinky spring - played with on the stairs for hours by adults as well as kids, a Ronaldo mini figure keyring from Etsy, a Salux Japanese wash cloth, a pack of washing line hanger hooks, a pack of orange ping pong balls, a toblerone and a pack of space food. At the end of the game everyone offers what they don't want for swaps so nothing really gets wasted. Anything left [rare] gets donated as I really don't like waste and try to avoid it if I can. Everyone loves the game and enjoys all the joking and swapping and subterfuge [hiding the good presents and hoping nobody remembers. Sorry, that turned into a bit of an essay!
