Guests should bring up to 3 gently used purses that they are currently willing to carry (Don't want the junky purses ready for the yard sale). Guests should also bring a brand new purse, wrapped up, if the invitation from the hostess has indicated that each guest should bring a new purse.

Display the purses on a table for all to see.

Draw numbers (15 guests:15 numbers).

Go around the room one time for each person to get up and pick out a new purse.

Go around the room again. Each person who brought a 2nd purse gets to go again.

Draw numbers again for the new purse swap. Mix things up a bit; start at the highest number first, for instance.

One last time around the room; those who brought 3 purses will, in turn, pick out their final selection.

Optional "Dirty Santa" Swap:
 - 1st person a new purse and unwraps it.
 - 2nd person can steal 1st person's new purse, or unwrap a new one.
 - If 2nd person steals, then 1st person gets to go again.
 - The new purses are "dead" after 2 steals.
