The Valentine’s Gift Exchange is an annual event to add some extra spice to the weekly Friday Networking Lunch.

Just like the other gift exchanges done at the FNL, Attendees bring a fun gift in the price range of $10 to $20. Gifts are concealed in easy to open gift bags and placed on a table at the front of the room. Each person drops their business card in the bucket. As cards are randomly drawn, people either choose an unopened gift bag from the table or they steal a previously opened gift from someone else, with a limit of two steals per gift. So, the 3rd person to get the gift, gets to keep it.

Throw away gag gifts are not allowed. Gifts should be something that people would actually want. This is NOT a white elephant gift exchange.

This event is always more fun when gifts are romance inspired and the types of things nearly everyone wants. Popular gifts in years past have included: almost anything from the liquor store, sweet treats, jewelry, gift cards, and fun adult novelty items (nothing too over the top). We always ask that people do not bring throw away items. The very best gifts are those that you’d want to steal from another participant.
