Favorite Things

Last week my friend Caroline hosted a happy hour gift exchange and the theme was Favorite Things. Everyone was asked to bring a Favorite Thing, unwrapped and three of the same thing. When everyone arrived at the party they put their name on three slips of paper and dropped them into the hat. One at a time, each person introduced their Favorite Thing and picked three names from the hat, passing out their gift to those guests. At the end of the party, everyone left with three fun gifts.

All the ladies also brought a salty or sweet treat to share and Caroline had some sparkly Christmas cocktails. The kids were there as well and had a great time playing on the patio, pulling every toy out of the playroom and dancing on the coffee table. They all played so nicely together and the mommies got to enjoy their treats and gifts.

As for my favorite thing, I brought Benefit they're real! mascara and left with two pair of Nothing Bundt Cakes and a Thermos water bottle. It was so much fun...maybe we should do an exchange like this more often.

Good eats and treats.
