Everyone brings a gift, female bring female gift, male, male gift. Then put them all in a pile and play a game that when the music stops whoever is holding something(anything) they get to choose first, then next, and so on.
Male gifts wrapped green, female wrapped red.

A "Gift Steal" or sometimes called "The Yankee Swap"
Everyone draws numbers. Number 1 picks a gift off the table unwraps it so everyone can see. Number 2 then has the option to take #1's gift or open a new one. #3 then can steal from #2 or #1 or open a new gift, and so on and so on. The rules are, you can't pick your own gift, you can only steal once (So if you have stolen from someone and your gift gets stolen, your only option is to pick from the table) and once a gift has been stolen 3 times, it's "dead" and that 3rd person gets to keep it.
This is how we have done our grab bag at the school I work at every year and it's always been a lot of fun, even for those who are just watching.

we had a party at work last year. everyone brings a gift and set a money limit 10 bucks or so. then you all pick a gift not your own. now you shake dice and the highest amount on the dice gets to trade with someone else. and keep going until you either have the gift you want and then you can bow out and the rest keep going. And you open them so all can see before you start rolling the dice. can be lots of fun.

you may actually get presents. Have each and each individual purchase ONE present. It would not must be high priced. Set a decrease. maybe $10 in keeping with present. We call this pastime 7-11. each and every person sits in a circle with each and all the presents interior the middle. bypass a tray around with 2 cube. A 7 or 11 helps you to take a recent from the pile. in case you roll a double quantity, you get to roll returned. To make it honest, as quickly as you have a recent, you sit down it out till each and every person has one. Then each and every person opens their presents. you grants up the pastime right here in case you like.... OR.... after each and every person's opened their presents (and you have checked them out), you do the grimy cube present grab bonus around. Set the timer for 2 minutes and start up passing around the cube returned. 7, 11 or doubles ability you get to commerce your present for somebody else's. This gets exciting via fact there is oftentimes a recent that's slightly extra advantageous than yours. unexpectedly, Aunt Sally's bottle of Kahlua is calling extra promising than the Rudolph figurine. as quickly as the timer stops, each and every person nevertheless has a recent.

As people walk into the party, have them write their names on a sheet. At some point in time at the party you would have them pick numbers and they would match their number with the name on the sheet.

Write on everyone's pacakage a code that marks their present. And then they have to figure out who's is who's.
