For our extended family Christmas this year, we have agreed not to buy gifts. We will each bring a handmade gift from materials found at home or pass on an item we love, no white elephant items! When we get together, each item will be numbered. We will pull a number and take the gift bearing that number. No purchases allowed. My husband and I have both spent considerable time making gifts. I am looking forward to the exchange. There will be no wasted money and thought goes into our choices.

Brilliant idea, and great for families on a budget. Sadly I could not see mine doing it. I confess to recycling unwanted gifts at a later time (making sure the original sender didn’t get it back!) and throwing out a challenge one year for the naffest gift for a quid.

We are limiting our family gift exchange to food. None of us needs or wants a doggone thing and a nice gift of something homemade or a bit decadent is so much better. Love your idea!!
