Number 3 unwraps and can keep her pick from 1 or 2. This goes down the line until everyone unwraps and swaps at the end - at that point, #1 gets to pick from all of the gifts.
It's a lot of fun - usually there are 1 or 2 gifts that everyone wants that gets swapped around, and people swap with each other just to keep a preferred item from someone. There's a lot of teasing and good natured banter back and forth.
Yes, I do know that - but can't remember what I've heard it called. It is great fun and the "special house shoes" would be perfect!!! LOL.
