But this year, you\u2019ll never forget a buddy\u2019s birthday with Elfster\u2019s helpful reminders in advance! If you\u2019re still a hopeless procrastinator, don\u2019t fret.

Since your study group spends an awful lot of time hitting the textbooks, an Elfster gift exchange is the perfect way to inject some fun into your sessions. Find out your buddy\u2019s favorite \u201cBrain Food\u201d or relaxation aid, and surprise them on test day with a \u201cGood Luck\u201d gift.<\/p>\n<h4>\u2022 Sports Teams<\/h4>\n<p>You might not be the star of the Bowling League, but everyone\u2019s a winner when you set up a swap with your sports team. Even spectators can play! Team-themed gift exchanges are a great way to celebrate the playoffs or national championships. Get your group to add their must-have sports gear to their Wishlists, and the whole crew can root in style!<\/p>\n<h4><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-3803\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.elfster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/helmet-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"135\" height=\"135\" \/>\u2022 Book Clubs<\/h4>\n<p>Elfster can put a fun new spin on your Reading Group\u2019s selection process. Using a pool of your personal picks, your buddy can select one title\u00a0from your Wishlist to go on the official reading lineup. This lets all members have a say, while keeping the element of surprise.<\/p>\n<h4>\u2022 Viewing Parties<\/h4>\n<p>Primetime television events are an easy\u00a0excuse to throw a party, and with Elfster, you can now add gifting to the mix. Set parameters based on the type of programming you\u2019ll be watching. For example, partygoers can exchange DVD\u2019s of their favorite flicks at your annual Academy Awards soiree, or swap CD\u2019s at a Grammy\u2019s Bash.<\/p>\n<h4><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-3805\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.elfster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/hydrants-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"135\" height=\"135\" \/>\u2022 Pet Appreciation<\/h4>\n<p>Let your four-legged friends experience the joy of giving by setting up a gift exchange in their names.<\/p>\n<h4>\u2022 Block Parties<\/h4>\n<p>Get to know the neighbors by arranging an Elfster exchange within your dorm, apartment complex or homeowner\u2019s association. It\u2019s a great way to reach out to new members of the community, as well as catch-up with old friends.<\/p>\n<h4>\u2022 National Holidays<\/h4>\n<p>Keep the spirit of giving alive all year with themed gift exchanges according to national holidays.\u00a0 Let the occasion choose the gift <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-3807\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.elfster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/pie-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"135\" height=\"135\" \/>theme, whether it&#8217;s\u00a0gag gifts for April Fools Day, or candy\u00a0on Halloween!<\/p>\n<h4>\u2022 Off-beat Holidays<\/h4>\n<p>You probably won\u2019t find \u201cNational Pie Day\u201d or \u201cPraise a Postal Worker Day\u201d on your desk calendar, but Elfster will help you commemorate these whimsical events all the same. Start an exchange, making sure to draw names early on in the year (right about now is a great time!) Study your pick\u2019s Wishlist to get an idea of their interests. Next, use a little internet research to find an off-beat holiday to commemorate that person, based on their personality or interests. Then, you can surprise your buddy with an unexpected\u00a0gift once their\u00a0oddball holiday rolls around.<\/p>\n<h4><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-3809\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.elfster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/tickets-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"135\" height=\"135\" \/>\u2022 Concerts and Events<\/h4>\n<p>The same pre-emptive gifting technique can be used to plan memorable outings with your friends and family. Have everyone in the exchange select two tickets for an event that they would like (and are able) to attend. (For better planning, make sure all members add multiple options to their Wishlist.) Again, draw names early in the year. Use your buddy\u2019s selections to find a date and event that works for you. Buy the tickets and enjoy the memories!<\/p>\n<h4>\u2022 Clubs and Organizations<\/h4>\n<p>If you\u2019re inducting new members into your fraternity, sorority or other organization, a virtual gift exchange is a great way to learn more about those new faces. Also, a\u00a0well-chosen gift will make\u00a0anyone instantly feel welcome and part of the group!<\/p>\n<h6>Photo credits: Procsilas , <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/horiavarlan\/4268896936\/in\/photostream\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Horia Varlan<\/a> , <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/schluesselbein\/4935411747\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Schlusselbein2007<\/a> , <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/petapottylowreshome\/2057493303\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Petapotty<\/a> , <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/stevensnodgrass\/3990283241\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Steve Snodgrass<\/a> ,<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/spine\/266675660\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> rick<\/a><\/h6>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">\u2022 Take it easy on the eggnog\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Improve your snow-shoveling skills \u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Finally make a conscious effort to wash behind those pointed little ears\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Whatever your New Year\u2019s resolution, there\u2019s always one vice you can feel good about indulging in.
