Requesting Feedback on My Website for a Fun Gift Idea for White Elephant/Yankee Swap Games
Hey everyone!
Last year, I found myself feeling pretty uninspired by the usual Yankee swap games my family participates in, so I decided to create a quirky gift for our exchange. I had a box die-cut at Staples for $26, paired it with a regular roll of Reynolds Wrap, and cleverly included the receipt for the printed box inside the foil. The result? A roll of aluminum foil that cost $20—making it, in a sense, the most expensive aluminum foil on the planet (it was actually $6 over budget, but totally worth it for the laughs)!
The response was incredible, and the laughter was unforgettable! Inspired by the fun, I decided to trademark the idea and set up a website in case others want to join in the fun next year. Although I haven’t done any marketing or paid advertising yet, that’s the next step after gathering some feedback from you all.

I’m new to this community, and I’m excited to share this gag gift concept with everyone. Thanks for your input!
