\"These<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Recently, some friends invited us to a Harry Potter<\/em>-themed party. They were very excited about it! My wife was very excited about it! I was very excited about\u2026 seeing people! But here\u2019s the thing: I\u2019ve never read Harry Potter<\/em>. I only saw the first movie. Without any negative feelings toward it, it just wasn\u2019t part of my life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, I took a crash course. And you know what? I had a blast. I dressed as Sirius Black because I love Gary Oldman, and I have to say I pulled it off. It turns out I didn\u2019t even need to be familiar with the theme to have fun at the party. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve talked about some gift exchange themes<\/a> before, but I can\u2019t just stop at five. Here are five more creative gift exchange themes to light up your next party. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Five Creative Gift Exchange Themes <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are two ways to have a gift exchange theme. Have a theme party where you exchange gifts or have a gift party with a theme. All of these can work in either direction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These also work for all ages. If there are children at the party, they can get cool gifts as well. And of course, these are just scaffolds: build your party around them in whatever way you see fit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And remember, nearly every party can be held remotely. Technology allows us to be together even when we can\u2019t get together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Great Outdoors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As I see it, there are four out of five seasons to be outside. Spring, Summer, Fall, and Part of Winter (the 5th season, Chicago Winter, is strictly for indoors). So if you and your group love being outside, a Great Outdoors theme is always fun. Have a party at a campground, picnic area, by the lake, a field, or even just a backyard or parkway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you aren\u2019t able to hang out together, you can have everyone video in from their own backyards. Or, have people pick their outdoor-themed backgrounds on their chat app of choice. You can be on top of a mountain or even in space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can easily have \u201cgreat outdoor\u201d gifts<\/a>. These can range from survival kits<\/a> to tents<\/a> to hammocks<\/a>. Being outside doesn\u2019t have to mean roughing it; it just means enjoying it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Green Thumb Party<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I love exchanging different kinds of plants<\/a>, bushes<\/a>, and seeds<\/a>. This is a party you can have outside where you can plant or you can just have the party revolve around an eco-friendly theme. Either way, you\u2019re leaving something better and creating great memories. You can exchange pictures of your plants throughout the years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cookbooks <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I love a dinner party! I love having people over and cooking for them, whether it\u2019s a fancy feast or a backyard BBQ. And I love to encourage people to pick cookbooks as gifts<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I like about this theme is that it spins off future parties. Did someone get a Cajun-themed book? Well, we\u2019re doing gumbo at their place. Middle Eastern? Let\u2019s get shawarma next Saturday. Retro? I\u2019m ready to hop back to Americana classic. It gives us all a chance to broaden our skills and our horizons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is an easy one to host remotely. After you send books, you can take turns doing mini cooking shows via video chat. Everyone gets to be their own Julia Child. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s Magic!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Do you believe in magic? Maybe, maybe not. But like most people, you\u2019re probably entertained by it. And you probably wish you could do it. Maybe you want to be David Blaine and perform impossible stunts or have the dry-witted prestidigitation wonders of the late Ricky Jay. Either way, people love a magic party. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this, have people dress up. Magicians have style and flair. Encourage people to bring tricks. Have them tell weird stories. Do incredible things with cards. And for the magic-themed gift exchange<\/a>, people can get new magic sets or tricks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back to the Future<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You know what\u2019s super modern? The past! I know that\u2019s a silly statement, but we live in a weird time. We romanticize and celebrate the past, whether that\u2019s the flapper 20s, the cool-kid 50s, or the grungy 90s (which some of us refuse to believe is actually the past; wasn\u2019t that like 5 years ago?). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having a retro party is one of the most creative gift exchange ideas you can have. People have to think of what to wear, how to act, and what to bring. And they really have to think about appropriate gifts. A radio from the 30s? A sno-cone machine from the 60s? Tetris from the 80s? Or maybe you want to have it all be Stranger Things-themed<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s cool is that kids love this too. It\u2019s dress-up, and it doesn\u2019t matter if they weren\u2019t born. After all, chances are you weren\u2019t dancing in the 1920s. And if you were and still want to now? Well, I definitely want to be at a party with you! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Best Way to Throw Themed Gift Exchanges<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you want your theme party to have a gift exchange, make it as easy as possible for people to get their giftee, pick out their own gift, and buy for the other person. Basically, you want to run it like a Secret Santa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s best for this to use a Secret Santa generator<\/a>. This online tool lets you assign names anonymously, create gift guides that match your theme, build your list online, and have your Secret Santa buy the gift with one click. It\u2019s simple for everyone involved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After all, a theme party shouldn\u2019t exclude people. It should be welcoming. It should help you share the joy. It should be about opening your gatherings to all the possibilities your imagination can come up with. If there is one overarching theme, it\u2019s community.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to get the right gifts for your creative gift exchange theme, use a <\/em><\/strong>Secret Santa generator<\/em><\/strong><\/a>. With <\/em><\/strong>Elfster<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, you can easily pair people up, shop for gifts, and <\/em><\/strong>start a Wish List<\/em><\/strong><\/a>. Plus, you can access it all from an <\/em><\/strong>iPhone app<\/em><\/strong><\/a> or <\/em><\/strong>Android app<\/em><\/strong><\/a>. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
