Clip to ScrapBook   
Have each staff member write a short paragraph describing a memorable gift they received as a child. These could be humorous or not, depending on your faculty. At the party, give each paragraph a number. You can either
read them aloud or post them and have everyone read them as they mill about. Provide a paper for each person to guess the identity of each writer. Reveal the true writers later in the party with an appropriate prize for the three contestants who guess the most writers correctly. If you have trouble getting people to write the paragraphs themselves, you could quickly interview them and
write it up yourself, or just list the name of the special toy or gift.

Another fun activity is to have everyone bring a white elephant. Instead of wrapping them and exchanging them, give each participant some play money. Then auction the items off. This can get pretty silly, depending on the weirdness level of the items involved.
