Kingdom of Callaway - Fulton, Mo 65251 | My local 6:00 am every Wednesday breakfast Optimist Club has a fun gift exchange. Gets pretty fun with forced swapping and stealing from each other. Lots of wine bottles. I gave a toy tractor and that was well received. I first got a nasty bottle of some sort of fortified blackberry brandy. But happily ended up with a bag of beef sticks and cheese and a history book of WW2 homefront letters written by a local banker/farmer's daughter.
Years ago my wife's work had a 10 year stretch of every year someone giving a copy of Dennis Rodemans book "Bad as I wanna be" in the white elephant exchange.
I used to go to the local jeweler and buy the most hideous pair of earrings i could find and give to my wife so she could go back in and pick what she wanted. I'd sometimes have them raise the price by a substantial amount so she got a bigger credit.
