My daughter’s birthday is next month and I think we will do a book exchange this year. I have done this twice in the past and it has been a hit with the kids and their parents. Each child brings a wrapped book instead of a present. I usually make up a game – some version of duck-duck-goose or musical chairs or steal the bacon – to randomly distribute the books. Kids go home with a nice book instead of a goody bag full of plastic crap. I buy my own child a nice birthday gift. Everybody wins.[/quote]
I LOVE this idea. I’m shamelessly stealing it. Goody bags bug the crud out of me and my kids don’t need more STUFF – but books are always good.
