🎁🤣 **Get Ready for a Hilarious Night! 🎉🤖**
We're **LOOKING FOR SPONOSORS** and excited to announce our annual White Elephant gift exchange!!

For those unfamiliar, this is a gag gift exchange done simply to make people laugh. 🤭 Participants should **bring a single, wrapped gift**that has a generally nerdy theme. **It should be something that is useless, pointless, or generally unwanted.** Most past participants have simply taken some old tech from their homes they no longer want (or have never wanted), and wrapped it. The funnier, the better. Remember: this is a JOKE. **Do not spend money on this.** 💸 If you really don't have anything to bring, ask for donations[ in our Discord.](https://discord.gg/invite/VVYDZYmd2w)

🎁 **White Elephant Rules - Burbsec Style:**

* Bring a single, wrapped "gift" per participant 🎁
* The gift should be nerdy, and dumb 🤓🤪
* Max spend is $0 💰
* We will pull numbers out of a hat to determine turn order 🎩🔢
* On your turn, you can either choose a wrapped gift or steal one that has been unwrapped 🔄. Theft victims immediately do the same.
* Gifts may not be stolen more than twice 🚫🔄🔄
