December San Diego Gals That Read Book Club x Gift Exchange (South County)
Monday, December 15th
@ 6PM
@ Groundswell on 3rd Ave
Hosted by the Amazing Em!
Book: Say You’ll Remember Me by Abby Jimenez
We’ll kick off the night catching up on Say You’ll Remember Me: talking all things love, timing, second chances, and the kind of characters that stay lodged in your brain while you’re doing dishes. 👀✨
Read the whole thing? Amazing.
Still halfway through or just here for community and coffee? You’re so welcome. There’s always room at the table.
After book chat, we’ll roll into our Tiny Gift Exchange, think: thoughtful, silly, sentimental, “this made me think of you” energy IRL. It’s like stepping into a feel-good rom-com scene, but with real friends and good drinks.
🎁 Tiny Gift Exchange: How It Works
We’re doing a two-round tiny gift swap in small groups of 5.
You’ll bring the same gift for everyone in your group each round.
You’ll give your gifts to the other four gals in your group and receive theirs in return — twice!
What to bring (budget-friendly, think around $25 total max):
4 matching gifts for Round 1
4 matching gifts for Round 2
That’s 8 small gifts total that you’re bringing.
🎄 Round 1: Holiday Survival Kit
Bring something you’d want in your own holiday survival kit.
Funny, practical, cozy, calming, or just a little bit petty — if it helps someone survive December, it counts.
Think:
your favorite tea
under-eye patches
a mini candle
a snack you swear by in chaotic weeks
✨ Round 2: “If I Was a Gift, I Would Be…”
Choose a tiny item that feels like you:
Your vibe, your essence, your main-character energy in gift form.
Cute, clever, sarcastic, sentimental — all welcome.
Maybe it’s:
a specific pen you’re obsessed with
a spice blend you put on everything
a keychain, bookmark, or tiny trinket that screams “This is so me”
We’ll create the small groups once everyone arrives, then do the swaps round by round.
Simple. Fun. Bookish. Festive.
Everyone goes home with a little stack of tiny surprises and, hopefully, a few new “remember when we met at book club?” friendships. 💫
You just bring:
yourself
your 8 tiny gifts
your thoughts/feels about Say You’ll Remember Me
We’ll handle the rest. 💕
