"The friends brought affordable items, but also ones that you can actually use every day. Think a pile of Tide To-Go pens, tiny antibacterial gels, a teeny Tiger Balm, packages of wet wipes, and an assortment of lip balms. At one point, someone dropped candy on the table, which was met with a chorus of screams - and it was honestly so relatable."
"Five-dollar gift exchanges are going viral right now, and for good reason. Not only do they make celebrating the season a little more affordable, but they're also surprisingly fun. On the app, @mmmwaffles1 posted her version, which featured a group of friends exchanging an array of girly items like small candles, pretty lip balms, mini hairbrushes, and Trader Joe's bags, which one friend dumped triumphantly onto the table. The vibes? Immaculate."
$5 gift exchanges replace the pressure and expense of traditional white elephant games with low-cost, practical items. Friends toss items costing $5 or less onto a table, and each person takes turns dumping their collection while others grab desired items. Common offerings include Tide To-Go pens, antibacterial gels, tiny Tiger Balm, wet wipes, lip balms, mini candles, hairbrushes, hand lotions, Trader Joe's bags, candy, and mini Tajín bottles. The format encourages laughter, scrambling, and shared enjoyment while keeping costs minimal and gifts useful for everyday use. The exchange has gained widespread popularity online.
