Janna Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Our small group is having a Christmas party on Sunday. Instead of doing a White Elephant gift exchange, we're playing a game that involves gift cards.(:confused:) We're supposed to all bring (everyone, not one per couple) a $5 gift card from an unusual place. My first thought was to get one from a "classy" adult store. I am certain this wouldn't offend anyone. But not knowing what the game is and how that could bite me later, LOL, I am now rethinking this thought. Any ideas for me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TN Mama Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 My friends and I do a white elephant style gift card exchange each Christmas. We don't have to get "unusual" gcs, but I always try to get something other than the traditional (for us) Starbucks, Target, or iTunes.

Cinder Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I'd get one from QT--QuikTrip, the gas station/quick stop. Love that place. Cinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeaganS Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 My little sister is weird and for Christmas I got her a Hot Topic gift card (she will actually love it). That might fit the bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janna Posted December 13, 2010 Author Share Posted December 13, 2010 I'm bumping this up a bit. I was hoping for a bit more unusual (and fun) ideas. Hot Topic is a possibility, but it's still not quite as different as I was hoping. Any more ideas? Come on, I know there are creative and goofy minds out there! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tap Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 What about small, local stores from your local downtown area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RahRah Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Do you have a local store in your area that sells only one thing? Like just socks or just ties? A dollar store gift card? A toy store? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardening momma Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 What about small, local stores from your local downtown area? :iagree: Gift cards from locally owned stores would be much more unusual than a chain store/franchise. Like others said, places like a gas station or dollar store would be unusual. What about a local thrift store? Do they have gift cards/certificates?

T'smom Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 One of the kiosk places in the mall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janna Posted December 13, 2010 Author Share Posted December 13, 2010 While I was in the shower (where I typically have my most profound thoughts, LOL), I had the idea to get one from the local butcher shop. I hope they sell them - that should be unusual enough, don't you think? ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figure it's because it's the one place I am usually not interrupted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
