🎁 FoE White Elephant: Naughty or Nice Edition
It’s December… let’s unwrap some trouble.
This month we’re spicing up the Meet & Greet with a White Elephant gift exchange. Think fun, flirty, playful, and something you’d actually be happy to steal from somebody.
$30-ish is the sweet spot for individuals and $30-ish for couples, but if you’re one of those over-the-top gift gods who likes to shock the room with a $100 surprise… we love you. Keep doing that.
Sexy, silly, useful, wild—just keep it wrapped and keep it fun.

💞 How to Choose Your Gift
Pick your vibe:
Single Guys — bring a ~$30 gift (This does not mean Single Guys can attend)
Single Ladies — bring a ~$30 gift
Couples — bring a ~$30 gift
This keeps things balanced and prevents someone from unwrapping a toy they literally cannot use.
Bring something fun, sexy, or interesting that you would want to steal.

⭐ How the Game Works (FoE Style)
1. Bring a wrapped gift.
No names. No clues. No shaking it like you’re previewing the horsepower inside.
2. Everyone participating gets a number.
We go in order, one at a time.
3. Player #1 picks a gift and opens it.
They show it off. We judge them lovingly.
4. Player #2 can either:
Steal the opened gift, or
Pick a wrapped one and open it.
If they steal, the person they stole from chooses a new gift.
5. Each gift can only be stolen twice.
The third owner is locked in.
(We’re preventing full-scale diplomatic conflict over a high-end vibrator.)
6. You can’t steal back the gift you just had.
We’re not enabling toxic on-again/off-again relationships with objects.
7. After the final gift is opened, Player #1 gets a last chance to steal.
Classic redemption arc. Or tragedy. Depends on the vibe.

Looking for something fun to do? Want to meet real couples instead of messaging endlessly online? Our Friends of Ellis Meet & Greet is the perfect low-pressure way to get out of the house, grab a drink, and connect with other lifestyle-minded adults.
This isn’t a club night.
No playrooms.
No pressure.
Just a relaxed, flirt-friendly night in a public bar where you can mingle, talk, laugh, and see who catches your eye.
We have a private section reserved so you can slip right in and feel at home. Order a drink, join a conversation, or hang back and feel the vibe — it’s all easy and natural.
What to Expect:
• A warm, social atmosphere with real couples and singles (no single men)
• Bartenders serving great drinks and food
• Light icebreakers to help start conversations
• A chance to meet people face-to-face without jumping straight into a party
• A perfect “first step” before trying our Club Parties, Hotel Takeovers, or Campouts
If you spark a connection at the Meet & Greet?
See them again the next night at our Club Party — or at any of our upcoming events.
This is your chance to dip your toes in and meet the people behind the profiles.
Please RSVP so we can staff appropriately.
NO SINGLE MEN
Our Meet & Greet is the safest, easiest place to start.
Ask questions. Talk to real couples. Learn the basics.
See how it feels without committing to anything.
Our admins are happy to give a quick “Swinging 101” chat if you’re curious, and our website has full guides and FAQs whenever you're ready to explore more.
This event is designed for you to:
• dip your toes in
• meet other couples
• learn at your own pace
• get comfortable
• see if the Lifestyle fits you
If you’re tired of guessing or hoping someone online is real — come meet them in person.
Short and sweet:
• No means no
• Always ask before touching
• Don’t overdrink
• Respect the space
• Couples arrive together and leave together
• Single women are welcome
• No single men
