Gifting: an art. The Yankee auction for bridal showers.

It's the thought that counts: bridal shower coffee mug favors
It occurs to me that a fun parlor game for your bridal shower would be the “Yankee Auction.” As this was explained to me (by a dear friend from Maine), it works like this:
- There are a bunch of fabulous gifts like these and the ones in the previous post, all laid out to be admired and compared.
- Everybody picks a number out of a hat.
- The person who draws number one picks their favorite present.
- Number two now has two choices: she can choose among the presents remaining on the table – OR, she can TAKE AWAY Number one’s present!
- Number three can do the same thing. And you can go around and around until…
Actually, I forget how it ends. Anybody?
