There’s more than one way to celebrate Valentine’s Day. | Image courtesy Unsplash user freestocks.org.<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I\u2019ll never forget the first time I got mail. It wasn\u2019t in my family\u2019s actual mailbox; I was at school, and it was Valentine\u2019s Day<\/a>. The feeling of happiness that washed over me as I took all the cards out of the little mailbox I\u2019d made from construction paper was like nothing else. There were notes from all my classmates, a token of our friendship. Granted, I was 6 and it was mandatory that if you made a card for one person in the class you had to make one for everyone\u2014but still! Valentine\u2019s Day seemed a whole lot simpler when it was about the fun of showing people you cared and not an intense, high-pressure holiday about proving your true love for someone.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why every year, I like to make my Valentine\u2019s Day a little more fun but playing some sort of creative gift exchange game<\/a> with my family and friends. Not everyone has a partner, so opening up the holiday to be more inclusive ensures that we all have a good time. The movies make it seem like if you don\u2019t have the perfect flowers-chocolate-dinner-champagne-dancing evening with a \u201cspecial someone,\u201d the night\u2019s a bust. But in my opinion, February 14th is about celebrating all kinds of love, from the love we share with family and friends to the smaller moments of happiness that make a relationship strong, like laughing together during a silly game.<\/p>\n

These Valentine\u2019s Day gift exchange games are the perfect way to inject a little extra fun into your V-Day celebration. Bring on the cookies, candy, and hilarity\u2014this year, Valentine\u2019s Day is about having fun with all<\/i> the people you love.<\/p>\n

A Family-Centric Homemade Treats Swap<\/h4>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s back! She\u2019s back!\u201d My sister and I ran to the door, eager to see what my mom would show up with. Every year, she took a trip to my Aunt\u2019s house for a cookie swap. We helped my mom bake a tray of cookies to take with her, and she returned with a platter full of a variety of sweet treats for us to snack on.<\/p>\n

My mother didn\u2019t love<\/i> baking, so being able to make just one simple recipe and come home with a huge variety of goodies was exciting for all of us. To this day, I swear by throwing cookie swaps, and there\u2019s no better time of year to have one than Valentine\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n

Throwing your very own Valentine\u2019s treat swap is easy. Just tell everyone to bring a batch of cookies\u2014say, 24 per person. Then, at the party, everyone divides their treats up evenly among the group. Each person returns home with the same amount of treats they showed up with but with an incredible variety. It\u2019s a tasty, fun way to spread a little Valentine\u2019s love with anyone, from family and friends to coworkers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A Galentine\u2019s Day Candy Swap for Friends<\/h4>\n

Until I met my husband, I spent a lot<\/i> of Valentine\u2019s Days without any \u201cspecial someone\u201d to share the day with. The solution? My friends and I would get together to celebrate Galentine\u2019s Day, a festive occasion honoring the strong bonds of our friendship. Of course, our festivities involved a lot of my favorite Valentine\u2019s Day treat\u2014candy!<\/p>\n

To this day, I still celebrate Galentine\u2019s Day on the 13th of every February, \u00e0 la Leslie Knope in Parks and Recreation <\/i>(my girl power hero).<\/p>\n

To put a fun spin on the day, I decided to host a candy swap. Every guest would be assigned a gift recipient like in a traditional Secret Santa game<\/a>, but instead of regular presents, we\u2019d try to choose the perfect sweet for our pal.<\/p>\n

\"A
Happy Galentine’s Day! | Image courtesy Etsy seller TheHappyGingerCo<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I used Elfster<\/a> to organize the swap. I just inputted my friend\u2019s email addresses to set everything up, then the site automatically assigned each person a gift recipient. We even got to each make wish lists on the site, so our Secret Valentine\u2019s Santa would know which sorts of sweets we prefer (I\u2019m chocolate, all the way, but my best friend goes wild for anything fruity and chewy).<\/p>\n

When the day arrived, I set up my apartment with pink and red balloons, put out all my coziest throw blankets, and cued up a marathon of Parks and Rec<\/i> and The Golden Girls<\/i> to watch while we snacked on our candies.<\/p>\n

It was funny how even a simple gift of candy felt more special with a game involved, and after our Secret Valentine Santa swap, we all cuddled up on the couch for a day of bonding and laughter.<\/p>\n

A Silly Gifts for Your Sweetie Swap<\/h4>\n
\"Silly
Sometimes silly and simple says it best! | Image courtesy Etsy seller letterhappy<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

My hubby and I aren\u2019t the red roses, fancy dinner out, and long and heartfelt affirmations of love type of couple. On Valentine\u2019s Day, we\u2019re much more likely to order take-out and watch a funny movie together\u2014nothing beats laughing with the person you love.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why one year I decided to organize a different sort of Valentine\u2019s Day gift exchange game. I hosted a fun Yankee Swap game<\/a>, but there was a catch. Instead of each person bringing a romantic sort of Valentine\u2019s gift, everyone had to bring a gag gift<\/a>. Whatever each guest went home with, they\u2019d have to give as a Valentine\u2019s Day present to their significant other or best friend\u2014no matter how outrageous or silly it was!<\/p>\n

Everyone brought a wrapped gift, and we could barely stop giggling before the game began. Our chuckles turned to screams of mirth as we unwrapped and swapped feather boas, books on the art of love, and, inexplicably, a shiny new hubcap someone had found on the side of the road. Thank goodness my husband has a sense of humor or he might have been pretty confused by the red satin camisole I gave to him on February 14th! It was definitely a gift neither of us will forget, and I can\u2019t wait to throw my next silly Valentine\u2019s Day gift exchange.<\/p>\n

Celebrate With a Valentine\u2019s Day Gift Exchange Game<\/h4>\n

On Valentine\u2019s Day, I think it\u2019s important to remember that there are all kinds of love that make the world go round. It\u2019s not just about the cookie-cutter romances you see on TV and in the movies. The love between families, the love you share with your friends, and the special moments of true intimacy couples find when sharing a funny moment together are just as important as the grand declarations and passionate tango dances that pepper the silver screen.<\/p>\n

Valentines Day gift exchange games are the perfect way to foster these other kinds of love. You can be as silly or sincere as you like, striking whatever balance between boxes of chocolate and jokey romance as you wish. The point is to get away from the rote \u201ccards and flowers\u201d routine in favor of sharing some special moments with the people you love. Chocolates taste good in the moment, sure, but it\u2019s the memory of the fun times you spent together with your loved ones during the gift exchange that will stay with you forever.<\/p>\n
