If it is a clothing item, the recipient trys it on. If it is a food item, it may be tasted and shared. When the children were young, if it was a toy they would open and play with it before going on to another gift. (This way, they were sometimes still opening gifts at night or even the next day.) Over the years, we have found lots of creative ways to change the order in which we take turns. My daughter who is the youngest, likes to take charge of the exchange order these days,
